Regulus Black
REGULUS BLACK took a step forward when third on handicap debut at Beverley last time, pulling a little way clear with a pair of fellow improvers, and he can build on that to open his account. The main danger could be Dash of Class, who is worth another chance to build on her previous promise this year, ahead of Time to Sparkle.

Didn't offer much in his qualifying runs, but is bred to be better than his opening mark and having been well backed he showed improved form when third of 9 in handicap at Beverley (1¼m) 17 days ago. Major player on the back of his latest effort.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBeverley1m 1f 207yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat3/9Pontefract1m 6yGood to SoftFlat5/8Southwell1m 13yStandardFlat5/11Wolverhampton1m 142yStandardFlat4/7- 6(1)Go For GoldJ: Charles BishopT: Jonathan Portman897-Age 310/34/17/2

Brought along gradually in her 3 starts last year, unsuited by the drop to 7f when seventh of 8 in novice at Wolverhampton in December. This distance should be more suitable based on pedigree, so she's worth a market check on handicap/seasonal debut.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat7/8Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat9/13Bath1mGood to Soft (Good in Places)Flat8/10- 2(5)Time To SparkleJ: Jonny PeateT: James Keane7-49153Age 37/27/210/3

Off the mark at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in March and has confirmed that improvement in 2 starts since, third of 7 at Yarmouth (1¼m) on latest outing despite having raced freely. Could do with settling better but she enters calculations.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYarmouth1m 2f 23yGood to FirmFlat3/7Yarmouth1m 3yGoodFlat5/8Wolverhampton1m 142yStandardFlat1/10Wolverhampton1m 142yStandardFlat9/11Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat4/12- 4(2)Dash Of ClassJ: Rossa RyanT: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole600-435Age 311/29/25/1

Showed improved form when making the frame in all-weather handicaps first 2 starts this year (over 9.5f on first occasion), before racing keenly reverted to more patient tactics when fifth of 7 at Bath (1m) last time. Could still have more to offer over this trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBath1mFirmFlat5/7Southwell1m 13yStandardFlat3/12Wolverhampton1m 1f 104yStandardFlat4/8Wolverhampton1m 142yStandardFlat10/12Southwell1m 13yStandardFlat12/14- 1(6)GnocchiJ: Sean LeveyT: James Horton4499-75Age 38/18/115/2

Modest form in varied events at 2 yrs and has run to a similar level in 2 handicaps this spring, failing to convince at the longer trip (stamina on dam's side of pedigree) when fifth of 9 at Lingfield (1¼m) last month. Drops in grade with cheekpieces on first time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park1m 2fStandardFlat5/9Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat7/9Yarmouth6f 3yGoodFlat9/9Chelmsford City6fStandardFlat9/13Newbury6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat4/11- 8(3)No Drama MamaJ: Sean Dylan BowenT: Ollie Sangster95-688Age 318/118/120/1

Down the field in novices first 3 starts, but met trouble in running when eighth of 12 on handicap debut at Kempton (1m) in February. Failed to build on that at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last time, though it remains early days as she switches to turf with cheekpieces applied.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWolverhampton1m 1f 104yStandardFlat8/8Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat8/12Lingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat6/6Lingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat5/6Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat9/14- 7(4)Leia AntillesJ: Nicola CurrieT: Henry Candy68-8Age 325/120/122/1

No better than mid-division in a trio of maidens so far, returning from 9 months off when eighth of 12 at Lingfield (1m) in April.

Little impact in maidens/novice and fared no better on handicap debut when seventh of 9 at Bath (1¼m) 16 days ago. Dam was a 2m winner so she may be in need of a stiffer test.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBath1m 2f 37yFirm (Good to Firm in places)Flat7/9Nottingham1m 75yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat10/12Wolverhampton1m 1f 104yStandardFlat7/7Kempton Park1m 2f 219yStandard / SlowFlat7/9
