5/6

Very useful handicapper who returned from 7 months off/gelded with narrow victory in 1m6f at Musselburgh 21 days ago. Up 5 lb but rates a big player.

Form: 40852-1

Notation²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Oliver Stammers⁽⁵⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 92

9/2

Kicked off 2021 with victory in 1m4f Southwell handicap but well below par on his last two runs, only tenth behind stablemate Themaxwecan at Musselburgh three weeks ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 51-1280

Rajinsky¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: P J McDonald| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 90

2/1

Winless since 2019 but he posted some useful efforts in handicaps last term and shaped as if in need of run when fourth at Wolverhampton (14f) on return. Not ruled out with that run under his belt.

Form: 22290-4

Forecasts

Themaxwecan (5/6), Rajinsky (2/1), Notation (9/2)

THEMAXWECAN showed the benefit of a gelding operation when overcoming a 7-month absence to score at Musselburgh at the start of the month and is fancied to defy a 5 lb rise here. Rajinsky should strip fitter for his recent Wolverhampton reappearance and rates next best ahead of Notation who has a bit to prove.
