Nottingham 16:40 Odds Comparison

St Mark's Basilica filly who showed plenty to work on when third on debut in a turf maiden at Lingfield (7f) in August. Didn't progress in 2 starts at that trip thereafter but she still appeals as a likely improver now handicapping up in trip on return/for new stable.

Capitalised on drop in grade when off the mark at Ripon (1m) in September and easy to overlook final start, never remotely in the hunt having been dropped in from wide draw when fifth over C&D in October. Likely needs to pull out more on return, nevertheless.

Showed promise in three novice races but started life in handicaps from an opening mark that requires a bit more and she failed to improve when third at Newcastle (7f) in November. Steps back up in trip for seasonal bow.

Son of Dark Angel who finished runner up on first 2 starts, displaying fair form latterly at Lingfield (1m) in February despite still looking rough around the edges. Never figured on qualifying run at Southwell but could yet get back on the up now handicapping in a visor.

Much improved upon returning from a break, runner up in February prior to shaping better than distance beaten suggests in a well-run race when third at Southwell (1m) 18 days ago. Opening mark looks workable on that evidence and expected to raise his game again now handicapping.

Built on previous promise to notch back-to-back victories at around 1m last month and not seen to best effect (denied clear run/forced to switch) when fourth in hat-trick bid at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 23 days ago. Nudged up a little more in the weights but respected as an in-form sort.

Reached the frame in maidens at Lingfield (1m) and Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December but the form is no better than modest so an opening mark of 67 demands improvement.

Kept busy since the turn of the year, resuming winning ways in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in February. Just as good in defeat since, no extra only late on when third at Chelmsford (1¼m) 13 days ago. Possibilities if proving as effective on turf back at 1m.

Stepped up in handicaps during the autumn, channelling his energy more efficiently when running out a comfortable winner of a 7-runner nursery at Newcastle (1m) on final outing in November. Up 8 lb but that may well not prove his limit.

Son of Dubawi who showed definite signs of ability when finishing midfield all 3 starts in 1m maiden/novice company during second half of last year. In good hands and he looks the type to progress further now handicapping as a 3-y-o. One to note.

Winner over 7f at Wolverhampton for Richard Hughes last summer and showed benefit of a recent breathing operation when opening account for present yard at Newcastle (1m) 18 days ago, leading late on. Now his task is to back that up returned to turf.

Offered little in maiden/novice events and fared no better on handicap debut at Leicester (6f) in October. Hard to fancy upped significantly in trip on return.
