Full Gas (G)
Stepped up on his turf efforts last summer after 4 months off/gelding operation when fourth in 7f Newcastle novice at the beginning of December. Too free on handicap debut there (6f) in January and needs more on return.

The Tunguska Event (G)
[V]
Recorded a second decisive Newcastle (6f) handicap success when last seen 8 weeks ago, well on top from Dream Forever. Now needs to show he can achieve some consistency.

Mystical Land (G)
[B]
Went close at Newcastle (5f) at the start of the year and not beaten far again there last time. Wouldn't dismiss back on turf/over 6f.

Antique Blue (G)
[H1]
Some promise on debut for Andrew Balding over 6f but well beaten in 2 runs over 7f for new yard 7 months apart (gelded in between). Headgear back on for handicap debut and improvement needed.

| 11th | 5 | 10 |
Baldosa (F)
Modest maiden who again ran creditably in 6f Newcastle handicap on return but longer trips are likely to be her forte.

Liquid Cooled (G)
FAV
Well backed returning from 12 weeks off (gelded) when making successful handicap debut in 6f Newcastle contest, still rough around the edges but the penny dropping nicely late on. Up 5 lb and another big run likely if proving as effective …

Maynora (G)
Has had plenty of racing, just failing to reel in a stablemate at Newcastle (7f) in January. Not so good in stronger heat there following month (failed to settle) and drops back to 6f returned to turf now.

Proud Mary (F)
Little impact in 2 Thirsk minor events/Ripon maiden last summer but no surprise to see her do better in low-grade handicaps this time around.

Telling Time (G)
Bounced back to form dropped to 6f when neck second at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago, settling better and finishing off his race nicely. Player off the same mark back on turf.

Dream Forever (G)
Improved after 5 months off when second to The Tunguska Event in 6f Newcastle handicap in February and backed that up with a creditable run there over 7f. Respected back on turf.

Miss Magic Dragon (F)
Failed to better poor form in all-weather novices/maiden at huge odds last year but may do better now handicapping on turf (bred to be much better than opening mark). Interesting to note any market support.

Miss Boyd (F)
[T1]
Showed a bit in second run on turf last summer but well beaten in 3 all-weather events since, always behind on recent return. Back over 6f with tongue tie fitted.

Battenburg Belle (F)
Down the field in sprint maiden/minor events at Newcastle and bags of improvement needed now handicapping on turf.

Trucial Pearl (F)
[V]
Has been shaping up nicely in all-weather handicaps, just failing over 7f at Chelmsford and again doing her best work late on when third at Newcastle. This stiff finish over 6f will suit and there are races in her.
