14:20 – Mc Loven
Much depends on the state of the ground. But it looks like being good or faster, so MC LOVEN could be the way to go on the back of his encouraging reappearance fourth in a fairly valuable six-furlong handicap on the all-weather at Lingfield last month. On that evidence, this drop back in trip is just what the doctor ordered and he has been left on the same mark. The Coffee Pod and Maximum Impact won’t mind some give underfoot, a remark which also applies to Irish raider Kendall Roy, while the unexposed Dashing Harry also merits respect.
14:50 – King Of Light
Karl Burke saddled a newcomer to win this race last year and KING OF LIGHT is another likely-looking type for the yard. Indeed, he fetched €160,000 as a foal and is bred to make a two-year-old, so the hint should be taken if the market vibes surrounding this colt are upbeat. Fellow newcomer Golden Paradise is marginally preferred to likely improvers Majestic Heights and Jimmy Henry for forecast purposes.
15:20 – Harper’s Ferry
It’s hard to look beyond HARPER’S FERRY, who went close on his sole start as a juvenile and was again narrowly denied on return in a maiden at Doncaster where he pulled well clear of the rest. He is held in high regard (entered in the Dante and Derby) and should take this, en route to even bigger and better things. Newcomer Raging Al represents the connections that have foiled the selection on both of his appearances and this son of Sea The Moon is second choice ahead of Dambuster.
15:50 – Amazonian Dream
AMAZONIAN DREAM signed off last season with a win over this course and distance and, still on a fair mark up 4 lb, he may well repeat the dose if fully tuned up. There are dangers aplenty, though, headed by Surrey Noir, who will be a serious challenger to all if he translates his improved all-weather form to turf. While Tiger Bay will be a live contender if fit enough to do herself justice following nine months off.
16:20 – Expert Agent
In the hope that the ground continues to dry out, EXPERT AGENT could be the answer to this competitive handicap. He twice made the frame over course and distance from higher marks last season and should be spot-on following his spin over five furlongs at Newcastle last month. Crazy Luck may also have benefited from a pipe-opener on the all-weather and she is greatly respected off this reduced mark, while Coco Bear and Sergeant Pep also enter calculations.
16:50 – Dream Pirate
DREAM PIRATE won back-to-back handicaps at Yarmouth and Bath last season and he shaped well after a lay-off when seventh at Kempton a fortnight. He is entitled to strip fitter for that run and can now capitalise on a lenient mark with his usual headgear refitted. Perseverants is feared most on the back of a good Doncaster second, with in-form pair Mapogo and Arcadian Nights also considered.
17:20 – Savvy Warrior
SAVVY WARRIOR displayed promise in his juvenile season and his third at Ffos Las last summer reads particularly well now (four of his eight opponents are now rated in the 90s), so he could be primed to make a successful return having been gelded representing a yard who know how to ready one. Amancio and Phoenix Passion, who have all-weather runs under their belts, are dangers.
17:50 – Hakuna Babe
A wide-open mile and a quarter handicap to close the card, though HAKUNA BABE could have more to offer in 2024 having joined the Ed Walker yard. She is bred to be smart and deservedly opened her account over this course and distance when last seen in October and, up just 2 lb for that success, she is taken to make a successful return. Celebrating Ethel, also starting new connections, and Rival are a couple of others to note.
