Blazing Sam (G)
Al Kazeem gelding who made an unpromising start to his career when tenth in a 6f novice at this course 4 weeks ago. Likely type for handicaps further down the line.

Distant Moon (C)
Showcasing colt. Half-brother to 1¼m winner Venus Slipper and 7f winner Florida Dawn. Dam, 7f-1m winner, half-sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner Dark Orchid. One to note for stable who have unleashed a pair of winning 3-y-o newcomers in recent …

Galba (C)
Promise when third of 7 in maiden at Newbury (6.5f, heavy) on debut in October. Shaped as if needing reappearance run at Newmarket last month and he could be one for handicaps after this.

King's Cavalry (C)
FAV
Kingman colt who made his debut in a warm Newmarket novice in October and he again ran to a fairly useful level when second in a C&D novice on return 4 weeks ago. Remains with potential and he's capable of winning a race of this nature.

Masked Warrior (G)
Promising start when third in a race that has thrown up winners at Newbury in September and stepped up a little when second at Nottingham (1m) in October, going like the best horse at the weights. Gelded subsequently and big shout on retur…

| 4th | 7 | 6 |
Able Astra (F)
Acclamation filly who ran to a modest level when eighth of 11 in a Kempton novice (7f) on debut in December. Will need to step up significantly on that to feature.

Ashley Pool (F)
Showed nothing when last of 10 in a Doncaster maiden (7f) on debut 2 weeks ago. Likely one for further down the line.
