Denby's Dream (F)
Kameko filly who made a promising start when third in an 11-runner Windsor novice (6f) back in July. Didn't progress in 2 starts thereafter on turf but switch to handicaps rates a plus now debuting for new yard and interesting if market vi…

Smartanck (G)

Off the mark on handicap debut over C&D in September for Richard Hughes. Creditable third next time but not in same form having changed yards/equipped with a tongue strap when last of 4 in nursery at Newcastle (7.1f) 63 days ago. Others pr…

Alfa Duplicate (F)
Kodiac filly who wasn't ideally placed after 7 months off (given breathing operation in the interim) when sixth of 9 on handicap debut at this course (6.1f) 11 days ago. Remains early days but she does need to take a step forward.

Cotai Glory gelding who offered definite promise on second of his 3 starts in novice company last year. However, he was again far too free on qualifying run at Lingfield in December and he'll need to settle better now attentions switch to …

Sup Of Red (F)
Creditable fifth of 14 in nursery at Dundalk (7f, 9/1), not ideally placed. Off 93 days. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Jack W. Davison but yard look to hold stronger claims with Luna Beaux.

Lion of Mali (G)
Lightly-raced maiden who surpassed his previous exploits when finishing a very good second of 10 in nursery (5/2) at Newcastle (7.1f) in November. Gelded thereafter and it remains early days with him if draw doesn't prove too much of a hin…

Madman (G)
[VT]
Stepped up a little since sterner headgear was applied, equipped with a refitted visor when readily winning 11-runner handicap at Kempton (6f, 3/1) 30 days ago, leading last ½f. Possibilities returned to this longer trip.

Tafah (G)
Yet to win in 5 starts but he took a step forward from his yard debut effort when fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 12/1) 25 days ago, nearest finish. One to bear in mind on the back of that.

Luna Beaux (F)
