Scored back-to-back successes last May but has struggled in tougher company off revised marks since. Interesting back down in grade and off 2lb lower on season reappearance following wind surgery.

Good second at Newbury last October before finishing seventh at Doncaster the very next day. 4lb higher here than either of those starts which means a career high mark on his return.. Stable won this last year.

Lightly-raced and rattled off a hat-trick last May and June. Proved disappointing in two subsequent runs and gelded since. Market may prove informative on first run since August.

Very progressive type on a hat-trick and a winner of four of his last six as a three-year-old. Up in grade for reappearance and likely to have even more to offer this year once he learns to settle better. Likely contender.

Last three wins have come on the AW while sole turf win came on heavy ground in Ireland. Struggled up to this grade at Kempton last month and this looks a tough ask again.

16/1
Stable debut and season reappearance following a move from Richard Fahey and has tended to need the run in the past. Can look like he's got his own ideas at times and while he's on a competitive mark, others look more reliable.

Last two wins have come in a lower grade than this and while he will have needed his reappearance this looks another tough ask. Remains a touch high in the weights at present.

6/1
Yet to add to two early successes back in 2017 but has gone close in two of three AW starts this year since leaving Roger Varian. Needs to settle better but was flying home after a bit of trouble in the run at Kempton and likely has more to offer.

Stable debut after leaving Richard Hannon for 12,000gns. Looked promising early when winning a maiden and placed at Newmarket on handicap debut but became disappointing in next four starts. Remains best watched.

Without a win since September 2017 and now 4lb lower. Disappointed last twice back in September and has tended to need a couple of runs in the past. Others preferred following an absence.

Just two wins from 30 starts and remains 1lb higher than the last in a lower grade back in July 2017. This represents strong company on his season reappearance and others preferred.

Forecasts

Beyond Equal (11/4), Diamond Dougal (4/1), Gabrial The Saint (5/1), Equitation (6/1), Bernardo O'Reilly (6/1), Embour (9/1), Lightning Charlie (9/1), Pettochside (12/1), Roman River (14/1), Private Matter (16/1), Mostahel (16/1), Handytalk (20/1), Major Pusey (25/1), Doc Sportello (50/1)

Verdict

A typically competitive sprint handicap for the grade with a couple of progressive types reappearing in the form of Beyond Equal and BERNARDO O' REILLY, both of which should have plenty more to offer this campaign. Equitation has race-fitness on his side and has been revitalised by his new stable.
  1. Bernardo O'Reilly
  2. Beyond Equal
  3. Equitation
