SANTORINI STAR should be suited by 1½m and is selected to take the next step up the ladder for William Haggas but there are several possible dangers in this well-contested handicap, headed by the hat-tricking seeking Beset and Roger Varian's Orchard Keeper, who had 3 of these behind her when second at Southwell last time.

    Verdict
    Promising sort who took her career record to 3 wins from 5 starts when seeing off 4 rivals in 1¼m Brighton handicap last month. Well on top at the finish on that occasion, suggesting there could be even more to come now stepping up to 1½m.

    Verdict
    Ended her time with Henry Candy with a 1½m Wolverhampton win in October and followed up on return for new trainer Joseph O'Brien at Sligo (10.5f, good) last month. Going the right way and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

    Verdict
    Useful effort when landing a second career success in 1½m handicap at the Doncaster St Leger meeting last September. Creditable third in 13f AW listed race at Lingfield on final 3-y-o start. Only had 6 outings so may not have reached her limit for her leading stable.

    Signed off for 2024 with victory at Kempton in October and built on an encouraging reappearance back there when seeing off 5 rivals at Doncaster (1½m, good to firm) 20 days ago. Yet another who has to enter the reckoning.

    Landed a double at Ripon last season and even better form when runner-up back at Ripon and at Kempton (both 1½m) this spring. Likely to give another good account for her in-form yard.

    Unable to reel in Overture at Yarmouth last September but came good at in the mud at Nottingham 3 weeks later on her final 3-y-o start. Had Overture behind her when a respectable fourth on 1½m Southwell reappearance 26 days ago but reopposing pair Orchard Keeper and Loving Look were ahead of her.

    Verdict
    Most progressive in handicaps last year, completing a 4-timer at Yarmouth (11.5f, firm) in September at the expense of the reopposing Pique'. Shaped as if needing the run when behind a few of these on last month's Southwell reappearance. Should strip fitter now. Also has cheekpieces refitted.
