Magnetude (C)
FAV
Well-related Palace Pier colt steadily improved in maiden/novice company, finishing third (behind next-time-out winner) at Southwell (1m) in November. Likely to improve again for markedly longer trip/switch to handicaps.

Five Moons (F)
Sea The Stars filly has steadily progressed in maidens, finishing fourth on qualifying run at this track last month, and she ought to do better now sent handicapping over more suitable distance.

Fuzeyya (F)

Showed first form when fifth of 8 (beaten just under 3 lengths) over 1m at Bath in September. She's stoutly bred and could well build on that upped in distance on handicap debut.
