TIMEFORM VIEW Lightly raced on the back of his chase debut success at Ludlow in 2021 but very much caught the eye under considerate handling when third at Fontwell (19.5f), finishing with running left. Shaped as if still in good form when falling 5 out over C&D 3 weeks ago and remains of interest. Star RatingHHHHH Official BHA Rating 99

TIMEFORM VIEW Not straightforward but excelled himself sent chasing by new connections when just failing at Warwick after 12 months off and backed that up when going one better there 10 days ago That was a weak event, however, and much more on his plate here.

Race Summary:

HEART OF A LION shaped as if still in good form when falling 5 out over C&D 3 weeks ago so is well worth another chance given how he’d shaped at Fontwell the time before. Do No Wrong left his chase debut well behind when scoring with a bit in hand at Cartmel so is feared most

TIMEFORM VIEW Improved massively fitted with a hood when landing 6-runner Park Hill Stakes in September and easy to excuse her effort in Fillies’ & Mares’ Stakes at Ascot next time Turned in a perfectly solid effort on return when runner-up at York (13.8f) a fortnight ago and should come on from that.

TIMEFORM VIEW Opened account in good style second time up at Chelmsford City (10f) in October and took a big step forward after 6 months off when bolting up under a penalty at Kempton (12f) last month, leading 2f out and forging clear by an impressive 13 lengths. Clearly destined for better things. Star RatingHHHHI Official BHA Rating 97

TIMEFORM VIEW Useful performer who won her first 2 careers starts last year, namely maiden at Munich and Oaks d’Italia at Milan. Has matched rather than advanced that form however, runner-up in a Group 2 contest at Hoppegarten (15.9f) last month, so more is required. Star RatingHHHII

TIMEFORM VIEW Big improver in first half of 2022 who completed her hat-trick in 10f Newcastle Group 3 last June Raced typically keenly but still managed to run up to best when third in Middleton Stakes at York (10.2f, firm) just over 3 weeks ago but a career best will be needed to land this.

Form: 11243-6

TIMEFORM VIEW Very useful Sea The Stars filly who landed Goodwood listed event last May. Solid efforts in the frame after in Ribblesdale, Prix de la Nonette and Princess Royal Stakes after, but below her best when down the field in Middleton Stakes at York (10.2f, firm) on return.

TIMEFORM VIEW Progressed very well last year, going close in the Galtres at York (1 1/2m) when stepped up to listed level on her final outing. Produced a perfectly satisfactory return after 9 months off when runner-up at Goodwood (12f) last month and there’s surely more to come from her after just 5 career starts.

Race Summary:

Although a beaten favourite on return, TIME LOCK produced a perfectly satisfactory effort when pulling clear with one at the top of her game at Goodwood last month and, with that outing sure to have blown away any cobwebs, Harry & Roger Charlton’s filly is fancied to kick on with Ryan Moore in the plate for the first time. Modaara couldn’t have been any more impressive on her recent return at Kempton, so she could give the selection most to think about, with Mimikyu taken to fill third spot
