Squelch²²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Dane O'Neill| T: Rae Guest| OR: 85| BF| CD

10/1

Three-time winner last year, including over C&D, but off since last of 4 at Musselburgh (14f) in September. Still low mileage, and she's not discounted on her return.

Form: 2/11134-

A Star Above²³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 85| D

5/2

Opened last season with 1m4f wins at Thirsk and Leicester but he signed off with underwhelming effort at Ascot in September. Has few miles on the clock, and not ruled out if fully tuned up on return.

Form: 3/11249-

Law Of One¹⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 82| D

4/5

Lightly-raced son of Galileo who opened his account in taking style at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in October, forging clear last 1f. Starts off in handicaps on a good mark. Big player.

Form: 2/321-

Byron Hill¹⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Spencer| T: C Fellowes| OR: 71

13/2

Fair maiden who signed off for last term with good fourth in 2m Newcastle handicap in October. May do better still. Solid claims.

Forecasts

Law Of One (4/5), A Star Above (5/2), Sweet Celebration (6/1), Byron Hill (13/2), Squelch (10/1)

Sir Michael Stoute's lightly-raced Galileo colt LAW OF ONE is bred to be a fair bit better than his current mark and fancied to take full advantage now he takes his first step into handicaps. In-form Sweet Celebration could be the one to give him most to do, although the returning A Star Above and Byron Hill can't be dismissed easily either.
