Made frame on all 4 starts this season, latest when second of 6 in maiden at Redcar (1¼m, good to firm) 23 days ago. Is becoming expensive to follow and may prove vulnerable kept to maiden company.

Doctor Dino gelding. Showed plenty when 2½ lengths second of 16 to Solly's Gold in listed bumper at Cheltenham (17f, good, 28/1) on debut in January. Interesting to see if he can repeat that on the Flat.

Has yet to better just fair form in 5 starts. Gelded and in first-time blinkers when down the field on handicap debut at Sandown 6 days ago, not looking straightforward. Back in maiden company with questions to answer and has the cheekpieces on now.

25,000 gns yearling, 50,000 gns 2-y-o, Nathaniel gelding. Dam was a listed winning half-sister to a couple of smart sorts. Makes plenty of appeal on paper though market probably best guide on debut.

Finished third on both starts albeit finished well held, though can be excused her latest run at Ripon having become unbalanced on the track. Remains capable of better.

22,000 gns yearling, Palace Pier colt. Half-brother to several winners, including high-class 1m-12.4f winner Avilius and very smart 9f/1¼m winner Saint Baudolino. Makes appeal on paper but was a rather cheap purchase given pedigree.
Timeform Verdict
A chance is taken on GARRINCHA to confirm the impression he created when second in a listed bumper at Cheltenham on debut. Cape Fear should be thereabouts once more while Argenteus is an interesting newcomer on paper.
Betting Forecast
7/4 Cape Fear, 7/2 Garrincha (Fr), 16/1 Al Maslool, 8/1 Argenteus, 28/1 Golden Step, 10/1 Joanna Hiffernan, 5/1 Moon Zabeel
