C&D winner but he arrives on the back of two below-par AW efforts this spring. Yard going very well now so it would come as no surprise if he gets back on track here.
|
Dual 1m winner last summer who returned better than ever when third of 18 in Lincoln Handicap at Doncaster (66/1) 17 days ago. Goes well for 5 lb claimer Sean Kirrane. Player off unchanged mark.
|
Fairly useful winning juvenile who (14/1) made promising return after 15 months off when third in 7f handicap at Lingfield in October. Back from another break now, but he's not taken lightly.
|
C&D winner last summer who returned with creditable sixth at Wolverhampton but only tenth of 18 in Lincoln Handicap (40/1) at Doncaster 17 days ago. More needed here.
|
First past the post twice in 1m handicaps during a busy 2020 campaign. Creditable second of 5 in 1m handicap at Newcastle (3/1) 6 days ago so he's respected off the same mark.
|
Looked useful prospect when landing 1m Ascot handicap on his turf debut last summer but seen out only once after when eighth from a poor draw at Sandown. Remains with potential and needs considering.
|
Much improved in first-time cheekpieces when bagging C&D success in September but only sixth of 9 in 1m handicap at Kempton on only run since. Headgear retained and she needs to bounce back on return.

Makram (5/2), Overwrite (16/5), Hortzadar (4/1), Rhythmic Intent (5/1), Madame Tantzy (6/1), Maxi Boy (8/1), Dogged (8/1), Scottish Summit (10/1), Oh This Is Us (14/1)
A useful handicap featuring some potential improvers, but it's hard to look beyond David O'Meara's HORTZADAR on the back of his excellent Lincoln third, especially with the talented 5 lb claimer Sean Kirrane again in the saddle. Michael Bell's lightly-raced Maxi Boy has better days ahead of him and is feared most, although both Rhythmic Intent and Makram also warrant plenty of respect.
