Chhota Saab (G)
FAV
[B1]
Cracksman colt who improved on opening pair of exploits when runner-up in a Southwell maiden (6f) in October. Failed to replicate that when sixth of 8 in nursery at Chelmsford City (7f) 21 days ago and blinkers now go on tackling 5f for th…

Hardstyle (G)
52,000 gns 2-y-o, Blue Point gelding. 28/1, shaped similarly to how he had on debut when sixth of 8 in novice (28/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 18 days ago, uncomfortable with pace and never a threat. Handicaps promise to be more suitable mov…

Lieutenant Sir (G)
Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 150/1) 4 days ago, racing off the pace and never involved. Passed over.

Blue Nguru (F)
[P]
Blue Point filly who was below the form she showed in maidens when last of 4 in nursery (5/1) at this course (7f, AW) 14 days ago. Drop back to the minimum trip for the first time shouldn't inconvenience her and better anticipated.

Cryingintherain (F)
Was prominent in the betting (2/1) on debut but held back by inexperience when eighth of 10 in novice at Southwell (6.1f) in October, finishing with running left. Clearly thought capable of better.

Dawn Melody (F)
Shown nothing in five starts and dropped away when 11th of 12 over 5f at Windsor (5.1f) when last seen in August. Marked improvement required if she's to feature.

Pilgrim's Progress (F)
Looked a hard ride first time up when last of 10 in novice at Kempton, very slowly away before racing freely/hanging left. Bit more like it when fourth at Newbury (6.5f) in October but this will likely demand another step forward.
