Talented hurdler who has Flat form both on turf and AW. Found quick ground against him only previous handicap when last of 7 at Newmarket in July 2018. Runs off same mark but pulled up only start since at Kempton in February this year.
Last win came nearly a year ago at Ayr 1m5f off this mark. Has run well in defeat a number of times since and won't be far away if fully tuned up.
Unexposed son of Farrh who is 2-3 to date in novice company. Tackles handicappers for the first time and could be anything after impressing in victory last term here over 1m2f and over 1m4f at Newmarket. Interesting contender.
Gelded since finished fourth last start in Chester 1m6f Listed event in August 2019. Unlucky short-head second over C&D last summer when saddle slipped. 2lb higher than that and stable already in good form.
C&D winner in 2018 but subsequent win came over 1m6f at Doncaster in September last year off 3lb lower having previously gone close at Ascot over 2m. May find this sharp enough on first run of the term.
Three wins at 1m4f in 2018 but drew a blank last term off higher marks, although was close second in Shergar Cup. Yard in flying form so bold show not ruled out by may need a little help from the handicapper before scoring again.
Ideally suited by some give in the ground so any rain would help his cause. Landed novice wins at Chester and Ripon last year at up to 1m3f but stays this trip. In-form yard has 15% strike rate with older runners at this venue.
Last two wins have come at 2m but has won over as little as 1m1f in past. Makes debut for new yard having gone over a year without a win for Michael Appleby. May need a run or two to settle into the new routine.
Has won at between 1m2f-1m6f and on fast and testing ground. Gelded during winter after disappointing last two outings so has a little to prove on his seasonal return. Top team always feared though so any market confidence would be noteworthy.
Returned from more than year off to land 2-3 last autumn at between 1m2f- 1m6f. Still unexposed and interesting that he wasn't campaigned during the winter and has been saved for the turf. Yard going well at present.

Forecasts
Future Investment (3/1), Laafy (9/2), Rajinsky (5/1), Away He Goes (5/1), Nette Rousse (7/1), Sleeping Lion (8/1), Mackaar (14/1), Genetics (14/1), Island Brave (16/1), Elgin (18/1), Busy Street (100/1)
A very tightly knit handicap with plenty holding chances. RAJINSKY just gets the call having looked progressive in his three starts last year and with his stable going well at the moment. There may be more to come. The unexposed Away He Goes rates a serious danger on his handicap bow, while Mackaar appeared very unlucky when beaten last term over C&D by only a whisker despite his saddle slipping. Nette Rousse may prove best of a number of others with realistic chances.
- Rajinsky
- Mackaar
- Away He Goes
