Non Runner.

Wapping³⁹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Aaron Mackay⁽⁷⁾| T: F Brennan| OR: 85| D

15/2

Triple winner on turf, including over this trip, for David Lanigan. Looked to have retained his ability in just one run for Jamie Osborne, but resumes after 13-months off for a new trainer. Each-way claims if he can overcome this latest absence.

Form: 23211/4-

White Shaheen³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Nicola Currie| T: W R Muir| OR: 82| D

8/1

Scored over this trip on Tapeta in 2016. Was entitled to need his reappearance last time after a 29-month absence. That showed that he retains ability, and he is of interest if taking to Polytrack on his first try.

Form: 63128/4

(3)

Elysees Palace²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 80| BF

13/8

Completed a protracted hat-trick when scoring for a second time at Newcastle (1m2f) last month. Ran another good race after a 6lb rise back there over 1m4½f last time. Remains unexposed, and if handling this surface, he should go very close again.

Form: 4/411-13

Cry Wolf^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 78| D

7/2

Stays 2m, but successfully dropped back this trip at Wolverhampton in November, when scoring from 2lb lower. Has run well on both starts over further since then, including here, and remains of interest back down in trip.

Form: 26414-3

Ravenous¹³³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: L A Dace| OR: 76| D

12/1

0-13 on AW. Was in good form on turf last summer, winning at both Salisbury and Chester over 1m6f. Has gone close over C&D and is not written off, if ready after a break, but has yet to win when fresh.

Tralee Hills^t1⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: P Hedger| OR: 75| D

10/1

Bath and Doncaster turf wins in October showed that he can do the business, and he also appears to act on this surface. 1lb drop and application of tongue strap could bring him right into this.

Form: 41157-3

Forecasts

Elysees Palace (13/8), Cry Wolf (7/2), Arch My Boy (6/1), Wapping (15/2), White Shaheen (8/1), Tralee Hills (10/1), Ravenous (12/1)

White Shaheen is very interesting having proved he retains ability after a long break last time. If he can back that up, he has claims, while Tralee Hills is not ruled out, and Wapping is another to consider. However, Sir Mark Prescott has found a decent-looking opening for ELYSEES PALACE, who is unexposed over this trip and could win again.
