Colourband
Hard to rule out any of the sextet but preference is for COLOURBAND, who wasn't fully extended to make a winning return at Bath earlier in the month and Simon & Ed Crisford's charge is capable of better again now handicapping. Into The Light has made a promising start to his career and he can give the selection most to think about on handicap bow, with Magic Trip taken to fill out third.

Night of Thunder colt who put his experience to use and showed a good attitude when winning 9-runner maiden at Haydock (1m, good) back in September. Will be suited by this step up to 1¼m and likely to progress further.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park7f 212yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat1/9Ascot7f 213ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Flat3/5Newbury1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/7- 1(1)ColourbandJ: James DoyleT: Simon & Ed Crisford732-1Age 34/14/17/2

Beaten by an exciting prospect at Kempton in December and didn't need to match that form to go one better returning to turf after 4 months off in 8-runner novice at Bath (1¼m, good) 19 days ago, making all. Wasn't fully extended that day and capable of better again now handicapping.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBath1m 2f 37yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/8Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat2/10Salisbury1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/11Doncaster1mSoftFlat7/10- 4(5)Magic TripJ: Jason WatsonT: Andrew Balding18-3Age 35/15/111/2

Debut winner at Bath in September but struggled in Group 3 at Milan following month. Gelded and shaped well making all-weather debut after 5 months off when third of 13 in novice at Kempton (1m) earlier in the month and should have more to offer now handicapping upped in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat3/13Milan7f 110yFlat8/8Bath1mGood to SoftFlat1/8- 3(4)Into The LightJ: William BuickT: Charlie Appleby12Age 313/211/26/1

Well-bred colt who landed 5-runner maiden on debut at Lingfield in February with plenty in hand despite a steady gallop. Took a step forward in a deeper race when runner-up at Southwell the following month and bred to be useful, he's open to further progress now handicapping.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell1m 4f 14yStandardFlat2/6Lingfield Park1m 2fStandardFlat1/5- 6(3)BnaiderJ: Oisin MurphyT: Harry Charlton443-Age 37/17/115/2

Ran to a similar level on all 3 starts last season, rather surprisingly failed to improve faced with more of a test of stamina when third of 10 in novice (9/4) at Newbury (1m, heavy) 6 months ago. Step forward needed on return/handicap debut.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury1m 1ySoftFlat3/10Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat4/9Ffos Las7f 80yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/10- 5(2)The JokerJ: Rossa RyanT: Jane Chapple-Hyam3429-Age 38/18/19/1

Zarak colt who showed something like debut form when second in a course maiden (7f, soft) last August. Well below best in 7f novice at Newmarket on final outing but bred to be suited by this increase in trip, so interesting if there's confidence behind him in the betting now handicapping.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewmarket (rowley)7fGoodFlat9/15Sandown Park7fSoft (Good to Soft in places)Flat2/10Newmarket (july)1mGood to FirmFlat4/5Sandown Park7fGoodFlat3/11
