10/3

Drew a blank in 2020 but returned with a good close third of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 20 days ago. Contender off the same mark.

Poet's Dawn¹⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 82| D

22/1

Winner at Ripon (9.7f) in August but ended 2020 on a low note. This trip possibly sharp enough for him nowadays and remains 4 lb above that winning mark.

Danielsflyer^p³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 80| D

11/2

Snapped a losing run stretching back to 2017 when seeing off 8 rivals at Newcastle (7f) 34 days ago. Only nudged up 3 lb but doesn't have the obvious profile of one likely to follow up.

Form: 654-291

Daafr^v¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 80| D

12/1

Has stood up really well to a busy spell on AW this winter, winning 4 times at Southwell. Another good run when third there last time and has a lower mark on the turf.

Presidential¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 80| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2020. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Newcastle (1m) on reappearance 10 days ago but could be sharper with the run behind him.

Form: 20500-0

Little Jo¹²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Gemma Tutty⁽³⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 77

28/1

Struggled in 3 outings on AW at Newcastle for this yard towards the end of 2020 but was placed here off 6 lb higher last autumn so feasibly treated if a break revives.

Boardman¹⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 77

11/4

Not long with this yard and worth a precautionary betting check from his reduced mark on this return from 6 months off.

Form: 8/60950-

Cruising^b1¹⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: K Stott| T: D H Brown| OR: 75| CD

5/1

C&D winner last June. Also good placed efforts on turf at the end of last summer. Below par on AW debut final start. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces on reappearance.

Challet^h¹⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 75

15/2

On the up when winning twice over 1m last summer. Progressed stalled on final start but returns as a relatively unexposed sort.

Form: 961135-

Motarajel²³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72

50/1

Fair performer around 1m in France for Francois Rohaut. One of 3 runners for his stable here. Watching brief advised unless the market hints otherwise.

Forecasts

Boardman (11/4), National League (10/3), Cruising (5/1), Danielsflyer (11/2), Shawaamekh (7/1), Challet (15/2), Presidential (11/1), Daafr (12/1), Poet's Dawn (22/1), Little Jo (28/1), Motarajel (50/1)

The durable DAAFR has been an improved performer on AW this winter and might be worth siding with to translate that back to turf as he's 2 lb lower than when gaining his latest Southwell win last month. Shawaamekh is a potentially dangerous opponent back after a wind op, while Richard Fahey's National League also merits respect after a sound reappearance run on AW 3 weeks ago.
