Castanea Breeze
Favorite

Won when upped in trip on handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) in December and 3l second of 16 at Wetherby (3m, soft) subsequently; could continue to progress and he's firmly in calculations.

Jockey: NON-RUNNERTrainer: Lucy Wadham

New Invention

Well beaten at 25-1 on handicap debut at Hereford (2m, soft) in December; however, there's stamina in his pedigree and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the betting now up in trip in first-time cheekpieces.

Jockey: Tristan DurrellTrainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero

You Did

Disappointing at Wetherby (3m, soft) a fortnight ago but progressive previously with wins at Hexham (2m4f, good) and Musselburgh (3m, soft); could bounce back with a big performance in first-time cheekpieces.

Jockey: Charlie MaggsTrainer: Brian Ellison

Fox Cottage

No match for the winner when second of three on handicap debut at Leicester (2m4f, soft) in December and pulled up at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) since; improvement is necessary in first-time cheekpieces.

Jockey: Daniel SansomTrainer: Seamus Mullins
5
Pearl Smoke

Bred to stay and a market check is advised in first-time cheekpieces; however, she was pulled up at 40-1 on recent handicap debut at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) and needs to leave that form miles behind.
