13:05 Kodebreaker

KODEBREAKER is on a losing run of 19 that stretches back to March but he has been in good heart of late and has finished third on his last three outings. The race Kodebreaker contested at Southwell a couple of weeks ago looked like a good one for the grade and he ought to go well off the same mark here.

That Southwell race was over seven furlongs but he had been placed over this course and distance on his previous two starts so will have no issue stepping back up in distance.

13:40 Palace Boy

PALACE BOY landed a gamble over this course and distance on his first start for Ralph Smith last month, proving a long way ahead of his mark as he drew six lengths clear in the straight.

Palace Boy has a 10lb higher mark to cope with here but he was impressive last time, while the form he showed when runner-up to Luccia in a listed novice hurdle at Exeter last year suggests there could be a bit more to come.

    14:15 Al Farabi

    AL FARABI boasts a good pedigree – he is by Kingman and out of Oh So Sharp Stakes winner Altyn Orda – and he has made a promising start to his career. Al Farabi shaped well when runner-up on his handicap debut at Newcastle last month, moving through the race like a horse on a decent mark only to be seen off by another well-treated rival.

    He remains open to improvement after only four starts and his trainer Roger Varian has his team in excellent order.

    14:50 Fieldsman

    Most of these have something to prove but FIELDSMAN arrives here in good order. He confirmed the promise of an encouraging effort over this course and distance when gamely scoring at Southwell on his penultimate start and he then ran at least as well when runner-up back at the same venue a couple of weeks ago. He is only 1lb higher than last time and should launch another bold bid from the front.

    15:25 Fast Affair

    FAST AFFAIR scored over this course and distance in October and has run well on both starts since, finishing within a length and a half of the winner on both occasions. Fast Affair is in good order and has shown her effectiveness under these conditions, so she gets the vote.

        15:55 Kalpana

        Those with experience don’t set a high standard so this is likely to be won by one of the newcomers in the field, with preference for KALPANA. Kalpana is out of a listed winner who has already produced three winners, and she represents a powerful trainer in Andrew Balding.

        16:25 Pyrrhic Dancer

        PYRRHIC DANCER has registered back-to-back wins over course and distance the last twice and is up to completing the hat-trick. Pyrrhic Dancer’s last two efforts show that he is back in good order and he has some form earlier in his career that suggests he could be better than this level.
