TIMEFORM VIEW Confirmed promise of debut third at Roscommon (1 1/2m, good) when winning a maiden over the same C&D in September, on what was his final run for Jack Davison. Armed with potential starting out for new connections and, though this is tougher, he has to be respected.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW Though LEIGHTON failed to live up to market expectations on debut at Kempton in November, it was an encouraging start to his career nonetheless and this well-bred colt can be expected to take a sizeable step forward. He gets the nod ahead of several other promising types, with Asia Force just about the pick of them ahead of Infraad and Sea Lantern

THE TIMEFORM VIEW Lots with chances. SAILTHISSHIPALONE went in at the first time of asking for Ivan Furtado over C&D recently and with that form having been well advertised since he can defy a 3lb weights rise. Last year’s victor Leadenhall resumes on a good mark and could emerge as the main danger, although both On The River and Walsingham also need factoring into this competitive handicap.
