12th	1	12	Horwich (G) H Free-going sort was a dual winner for Clive Cox and while there was some promise on his latest start for current yard on the all-weather, he continues to race inefficiently.	904660	Ray Dawson Mrs R Carr	3	61.2kg	21 20/1
9th	2	5	Pretty Danielle (F) Maiden ran her best race for a slight ease in grade when close third on reappearance at Lingfield. She's consistent for one at this level and should be in the mix again.	345-396	Finley Marsh R Hughes	3	61.2kg	7.50 13/2
11th	3	6	Great Success (G) Shaped well when a close third of 4 on debut at Pontefract and while unable to build on that in a pair of all-weather starts last winter, he may do better switching to turf/handicaps on first start s…	84-0054	Harry Russell R A Fahey	3	60.8kg	23 22/1
5th	4	10	Sprinting Speed (C) Showed a bit on turf for Richard Hannon last summer (subsequently sold for 8,000 gns) though he looked short of peak fitness when well held on stable/all-weather debut at Southwell on latest start.	68-0588	Jason Hart J Candlish	3	60.3kg	29 28/1
10th	5	11	Circle Of Trust (G) P Improved for the step up to 7f when going close on nursery debut at Yarmouth last September, and he's not discounted if taking another step forward in first-time cheekpieces.	52-0921	K Stott K A Ryan	3	60.3kg	13 12/1
4th	6	8	Venetian Romance (F) P Hasn't kicked on from a promising debut on the all-weather last summer, failing to improve on handicap/stable debut at Nottingham, and connections quick to reach for cheekpieces.	375-946	Harry Vigors Dr R Newland & J Insole	3	60.3kg	17 16/1
7th	7	1	Yachtsman (G) HT Cemented a positive start for new connections when fourth of 7 on first try over this trip at Lingfield last time. That performance can be marked up, and he could go close if building on that with a …	5-34714	Jonny Peate Jack Morland	3	60.3kg	21 20/1
1st	8	4	Lion of Mali (G) FAV Has proved a different model on the all-weather since being gelded, only denied a hat-trick by a big improver at Kempton last time, and he still looks well treated on just his second start on turf.	121512	Billy Loughnane J R Fanshawe	3	60.3kg	2.10 11/10
2nd	9	3	Eduardo Calderon (G) Handicap debutant shaped second best in a modest race at Brighton on debut, though has been off for a further 6 months since finishing well held on qualifying run at Chelmsford.	387-24	Kaiya Fraser Harry Eustace	3	60.3kg	11 10/1
6th	10	7	Chelio (G) Ran to a similar level as on previous start when runner-up in a 1m novice at Lingfield in December, though he's not fully exposed with Rossa Ryan taking over for handicap/turf debut, and may settle b…	832-682	Rossa Ryan D J Coakley	3	59kg	6 5/1
3rd	11	2	Daretobedifferent (F) H Maiden finds herself in a more realistic grade than on reappearance at Newmarket last time but still looks relatively exposed.	313694	David Probert D Donovan	3	57.6kg	23 22/1
8th	12	9	Castlekeely (G) Had been gelded prior to his handicap debut over C&D last time but never looked like justifying a more prominent position in the market. Isn't one to totally dismiss on just his second start for exce…	96-0870	William Carson James Owen	3	56.2kg	34 33/1
