Bless Him^h⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 105| D

8/1

Smart gelding. Scored at Newcastle in January and best of three runs since at Meydan when close sixth of 11 to D'bai in Zabeel Mile at Meydan (8f) 43 days ago, not enjoying much room. Much respected.

Form: 44-1546

Canagat²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: G Alimpinisis| OR: 95| D

20/1

Useful 7f/1m winner for Archie Watson last year. Below that form in France both runs for current yard in 2021. Faces uphill task.

Form: 510-236

Documenting²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Ray Dawson| T: K Frost| OR: 108| C

28/1

Smart gelding who arrives on back of encouraging fourth of 9 to Mums Tipple in listed race (4/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Course winner, and one to consider.

Form: 11713-4

(5)

Fox Duty Free⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: R M Beckett| OR: 98| CD

7/1

Useful gelding. Made it 3-3 for current yard with career best in handicap over C&D (8/13) in December, well on top at finish. Has bit to find on form but shouldn't be underestimated.

Form: 2/UR111-

(1)

Intuitive^t,v³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: S Crisford| OR: 106| BF| CD

8/1

Smart gelding. C&D winner in January and good second of 4 in handicap here 34 days ago. Another bold showing is on the cards.

Form: 0043-12

(2)

Khuzaam²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 109| D

6/4

Smart gelding. Gelded before overcoming drop back to 7f in conditions event at Chelmsford City 29 days ago. Still low mileage, and holds very good claims back at 1m.

Form: 212/22-1

(6)

Mission Boy²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: M Botti| OR: 99| D

40/1

Useful gelding. It's now fifteen runs since last win in 2019 but he continues in good form, third of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 20 days ago. This demands plenty more though.

Form: 824-243

(4)

Mums Tipple²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 109

5/1

Smart gelding who got right back on track with comfortable win in 7f listed race at Wolverhampton 20 days ago by 2¼l from Lord of The Lodge. Has his stamina to prove but merits serious consideration.

Form: 0088-61

(10)

Silver Quartz^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: F Graffard| OR: 102| D

14/1

Useful gelding. Arrives on a hat-trick after wins in minor events at Deauville and Chantilly (8f) 31 days ago. Tongue strap back on and this looks much tougher.

Form: 1447-11

(3)

Via Serendipity^t⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Fellowes| OR: 105| D

20/1

Smart gelding. Ended last term on the up and not disgraced on his return when fading eighth in 1m handicap at Kempton 58 days ago. Likely to step forward now.

Form: 10632-8

Forecasts

Khuzaam (6/4), Mums Tipple (5/1), Fox Duty Free (7/1), Bless Him (8/1), Intuitive (8/1), Silver Quartz (14/1), Canagat (20/1), Via Serendipity (20/1), Documenting (28/1), Mission Boy (40/1)

Little to choose between the principals but Roger Varian's KHUZAAM made a very pleasing return after being gelded when scoring at Chelmsford City and, with few miles still on the clock, he is fancied to follow up. Mums Tipple rates a big threat after a resurgent listed victory at Wolverhampton, although both Intuitive and Fox Duty Free arrive in top form from handicaps and shouldn't be dismissed.
