| 2nd | 1 | 4 |
Grey Horizon (C)
[V]
Reacted well to a first-time visor when winning 5-runner nursery at Catterick (6f, soft) in October, his final start for Richard Fahey. Will be competitive if resuming in similar form for his new yard.

King Victorious (G)
[T]
Creditable third of 9 in C&D nursery 14 days ago, running on. Should go well again.

Mademoiselle Belle (F)
Modest maiden. 16/1, seventh of 9 in C&D nursery 14 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Watchdog (G)
FAV
Improved form when close second of 9 in nursery at Southwell (7f1) 7 days ago. Pulled clear of the rest and looks well treated off the same mark.

Surgeon Commander (G)
[B1]
Lightly-raced maiden. Off 5 months, late headway when fifth of 9 in C&D nursery 14 days ago. Entitled to be sharper for the run. Also blinkered first time.

Go Kylie Go (F)
[H]
Thrice-raced maiden. 28/1, last of 9 in novice at this course (5f) 25 days ago. More realistic chance now handicapping at a low level.
