Go Rimbaud
GO RIMBAUD was much improved when making a winning return at Kempton earlier this month and he's fancied to follow up. Fellow handicap debutant Commanding Officer has run well on both starts here and could be the main danger with cheekpieces fitted, while it's unlikely we've seen the best of Strength of Spirit, either.

Gelded following a progressive juvenile campaign, and he picked up where he left off when winning with something to spare on return at Musselburgh (1m). Far from exposed over this sort of trip and there's likely further improvement to come.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh1m 2yGood to SoftFlat1/6Newbury7fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/7Beverley7f 96yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/6Chester7f 1yGoodFlat1/13Ayr6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat5/7- 4(3)Go RimbaudJ: Tyler HeardT: John & Thady Gosden422-1Age 39/49/42/1

Shaped with promise in maiden/novice company towards the end of last year and was much improved when off the mark at Kempton on his return. Opening mark looks a handy one based on that form, and he's in the right hands to progress again.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat1/9Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat2/9Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat2/13Leicester7fGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat4/10- 6(6)Commanding OfficerJ: William BuickT: Charlie Appleby341-Age 34/14/17/2

€150,000 Teofilo colt confirmed the promise shown on debut (at this track) when making it third time lucky in a 1m novice here in September, for all he was a tad fortunate, and further improvement looks likely with first-time cheekpieces fitted on handicap bow.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park7f 212yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/9York7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/7Haydock Park7f 37yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat3/8- 3(4)See BlueJ: Hector CrouchT: Richard Hughes1-2Age 311/211/26/1

Looked a good prospect when making a winning start at Kempton last year and having still looked green when no match for a promising sort at Southwell on return, he remains with potential on handicap/turf debut.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell1m 13yStandardFlat2/10Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat1/11- 5(7)ElectricalJ: Paul MulrennanT: Brian Toomey184-Age 320/120/122/1

Surprise winner on debut at Newbury (6f) last summer but couldn't build on that faced with more testing conditions on return there (1m) in late-October. Has been gelded ahead of this handicap debut, but he needs to improve.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury1m 1ySoftFlat4/10Doncaster7f 6yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat8/8Newbury6fGood to FirmFlat1/6- 8(9)Dunkeld DreamerJ: Pierre-Louis JaminT: K.

Three-time winner proved most consistent as a 2-y-o and though entitled to come on for her reappearance fifth at Musselburgh, she's probably vulnerable to less-exposed types.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh1m 2yGoodFlat5/11Newmarket (rowley)1m 1fGood to SoftFlat2/6Nottingham1m 2f 50yGood to SoftFlat2/7Wolverhampton1m 1f 104yStandardFlat2/3Beverley1m 100ySoft (Heavy in places)Flat1/7- 9(2)Gold DawnJ: Charles BishopT: Hugo Palmer955228-Age 322/122/120/1

Runner-up 3 times as a juvenile, though he was consistent rather than progressive, and didn't look straightforward when mid-field in a valuable race at York in October.

Fairly useful Space Blues gelding found things too competitive in a pair of valuable sales races last autumn. Cheekpieces added ahead of this handicap debut, and he has stamina to prove over the longer trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh7fSoftFlat13/30Doncaster6f 111yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat17/21Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat2/11Pontefract6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/4- Non-Runners

Went backwards from a fair debut success at Ayr, finishing well beaten under a penalty at Kempton in October, and her opening mark does her no favours, either.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat8/13Ayr7f 50yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/7
