Waterford Castle
An interesting 3-y-o handicap despite the small field with WATERFORD CASTLE earning the vote. George Boughey's charge looked well served by the step up to this trip when bumping into yet another big improver at Newmarket 24 days ago. Now equipped with cheekpieces, he can deservedly open his account, possibly at the chief expense of Sassicaia. Devil's Peak completes the shortlist.

Son of Sea The Stars who bumped into another big improver but still matched previous best when second of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (1¼m) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces go on 1st time and surely only a matter of time before he breaks his duck.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewmarket (rowley)1m 2fGoodFlat2/8Wolverhampton1m 142yStandardFlat2/4Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat2/8Ffos Las7f 80yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat6/10Ascot7fGood to FirmFlat7/9- 2(3)SassicaiaJ: Saffie OsborneT: Owen Burrows1-4Age 33/15/211/4

Bred to be useful and beat several subsequent improvers when making a winning debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December. Took another step forward for all he couldn't defy a penalty when fourth on return at Southwell (1m) 24 days ago and he remains with potential now handicapping/up in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell1m 13yStandardFlat4/12Wolverhampton1m 142yStandardFlat1/12- 3(5)Devil's PeakJ: James DoyleT: John & Thady Gosden82434-2Age 37/29/24/1

Well-grown gelding who showed plenty of ability as a juvenile and found progress for step up in trip when just touched off on return at Kempton (11f) 6 weeks ago, possible he'd have won but for lugging right for so long.

Kingman colt who has improved a little by the run in 3 starts to date, chasing home a useful pair in a 5-runner Yarmouth novice on qualifying run over this trip 4 weeks ago. Goes handicapping from what looks a workable opening mark and surprise were he not capable of better.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYarmouth1m 2f 23yGoodFlat3/5Wolverhampton1m 142yStandardFlat2/7Newcastle1m 5yStandardFlat3/10- 4(2)Enemy AgentJ: Harry DaviesT: Simon & Ed Crisford16Age 325/125/128/1

Promising Earthlight gelding who justified support to make a winning debut in a Kempton maiden (1m) in March. Came up short in follow-up bid under a penalty at Yarmouth since but bred to be suited by this trip now handicapping with cheekpieces now fitted.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYarmouth1m 3yGoodFlat6/11Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat1/11
