Pactolus^h,t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S C Williams| OR: 100| CD

7/1

C&D winner who is a model of consistency and is in the form of his life following a second over what is an inadequate trip nowadays at Wolverhampton and then a fine fourth in the Easter Classic at Lingfield. Looks sure to be involved.

Form: 323224

(2)

Kyllachy Gala¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti| OR: 99| D

4/1

Beat Pactolus at Kempton before another solid run when placed over the C&D off this handicap mark. May struggle to confirm Kempton places off revised terms.

Form: 23-5313

(4)

Battalion¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 99| D

33/1

Classy Listed performer at his best on the AW but after falling at the last on hurdling debut then finished a well beaten last in the Easter Classic at the AW Championships. Possible his confidence is dented and best waiting for more positive signs.

Form: 6966-20

(3)

Anythingtoday¹⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 98| D

4/1

Well tried for Hugo Palmer last season but remains 8lb higher than last winning mark on new stable debut. Won his maiden on the AW so possible improver on this surface.

Form: 132039-

Abareeq¹¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 97| D

10/1

Far better on AW where all four career wins have come. Won fresh last season off 9lb lower but ran right up to his best off this mark at Lingfield in December on just his second start following an absence. Looks a major player.

Form: 948073-

(5)

Calling Out^p1¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 97

20/1

Dropping in the weights and was a smart performer in the past. Needs the addition of cheekpieces to help him settle better but wasn't disgraced in valuable race over the C&D last time.

Form: 6-43355

(6)

Duke Of Bronte¹⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 93

8/1

Rapidly improving handicapper last season who took a Heritage Handicap at Ascot before a third in the Old Rowley Cup and a second in a strong conditions race. Can kick on again this season and two beaten AW runs came at start of career.

Form: 414132-

(7)

Maratha^t⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: P J McDonald| T: S C Williams| OR: 89

9/4

Very progressive and consistent on the AW this winter and ran right up to his best again over the C&D last start. Won in a quick time previously at Wolverhampton and although up again in grade looks to be ahead of the handicapper.

Form: 1-25212

(9)

Society Red¹⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-3| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 82| D

20/1

Front runner who signed off with a career best second at Doncaster when suited by the pace of the race. AW debut and may just need the run on this step up in class.

Form: 907102-

Forecasts

Maratha (9/4), Kyllachy Gala (4/1), Anythingtoday (4/1), Pactolus (7/1), Duke Of Bronte (8/1), Abareeq (10/1), Society Red (20/1), Calling Out (20/1), Battalion (33/1)

This looks a tight betting race where again cases can be made for the entire field. Battalion would be interesting in a handicap if returning to form. Duke Of Bronte is moving in the opposite direction and has to be considered on his seasonal reappearance after finding big progress at the end of last season. Likewise MARATHA looks to have plenty more to come and with fitness assured can take another step up. Pactolus is never far away and will be a solid proposition following his Lingfield run while Abareeq will be interesting following a break.
