Lion Of Mali
LION OF MALI may still be underestimated by his mark, and he can resume winning ways with Billy Loughnane taking over. Pretty Danielle ran her best race in similar company on return and should go close again, while Yachtsman won't be far away if translating his recent all-weather form to turf.

Has proved a different model on the all-weather since being gelded, only denied a hat-trick by a big improver at Kempton last time, and he still looks well treated on just his second start on turf.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat2/7Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat1/8Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat1/11Newcastle7f 14yStandardFlat2/10Wolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat7/13- 10(7)ChelioJ: Rossa RyanT: Denis Coakley832-Age 313/213/27/1

Ran to a similar level as on previous start when runner-up in a 1m novice at Lingfield in December, though he's not fully exposed with Rossa Ryan taking over for handicap/turf debut, and may settle better for the drop back in distance.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park1m 1yStandardFlat2/8Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat3/10Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat8/10- 2(5)Pretty DanielleJ: Finley MarshT: Richard Hughes34345-3Age 38/18/115/2

Maiden ran her best race for a slight ease in grade when close third on reappearance at Lingfield. She's consistent for one at this level and should be in the mix again.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat3/10Chelmsford City7fStandardFlat5/8Ayr7f 50yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat4/7Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat3/9Haydock Park6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat4/8- 5(11)Circle Of TrustJ: Kevin StottT: Kevin Ryan4652-Age 310/18/19/1

Improved for the step up to 7f when going close on nursery debut at Yarmouth last September, and he's not discounted if taking another step forward in first-time cheekpieces.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYarmouth7f 3yGood to SoftFlat2/8Catterick Bridge5fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/7Hamilton Park6f 6yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat6/7Thirsk6fGoodFlat4/9- 7(1)YachtsmanJ: Jonny PeateT: Jack Morland4785-34Age 311/111/110/1

Cemented a positive start for new connections when fourth of 7 on first try over this trip at Lingfield last time. That performance can be marked up, and he could go close if building on that with a hood refitted.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat4/10Wolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat3/8Windsor5f 21yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat5/9Goodwood6fGoodFlat8/15Haydock Park6f 212yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat7/9- 9(3)Eduardo CalderonJ: Kaiya FraserT: Harry Eustace387-Age 312/112/114/1

Shaped well when a close third of 4 on debut at Pontefract and while unable to build on that in a pair of all-weather starts last winter, he may do better switching to turf/handicaps on first start since being gelded.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle7f 14yStandardFlat4/7Newcastle6fStandardFlat8/10Pontefract6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat3/4- 11(2)DaretobedifferentJ: David ProbertT: Des Donovan34370-9Age 314/114/112/1

Free-going sort was a dual winner for Clive Cox and while there was some promise on his latest start for current yard on the all-weather, he continues to race inefficiently.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell6f 16yStandardFlat9/12Southwell6f 16yStandardFlat7/7Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat7/7Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat3/4Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat1/4- 6(8)Venetian RomanceJ: Harry VigorsT: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole375-9Age 316/116/118/1

Had been gelded prior to his handicap debut over C&D last time but never looked like justifying a more prominent position in the market. Isn't one to totally dismiss on just his second start for excellent new yard, though.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeicester7fGoodFlat15/17Goodwood6fGoodFlat6/7Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat9/12Salisbury6fGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat7/10- 4(10)Sprinting SpeedJ: Jason HartT: Jennie Candlish568-0Age 333/133/140/1

Showed a bit on turf for Richard Hannon last summer (subsequently sold for 8,000 gns) though he looked short of peak fitness when well held on stable/all-weather debut at Southwell on latest start.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell6f 16yStandardFlat10/12Newmarket (july)6fGood to FirmFlat8/9Sandown Park5f 10yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat6/9Salisbury6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat5/10
