8/1

Three wins from 16 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. 5/2, good second of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good) 18 days ago, keeping on well. One to consider.

Lammas¹⁶

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 11/10, third of 10 in maiden at Kempton (7f) 16 days ago. Straightforward type but opening mark demands improvement.

Form: 233

(7)

Club Wexford¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 75| C| D

33/1

Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle 12 days ago, doing too much too soon. Should come on for the run and has plenty of handicapping scope.

Form: 36070-8

(8)

Proud Archi¹⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 67| D

14/1

Form: 800508-

Al Tarmaah²²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas| OR: 65

6/4

Promising type. 9/2, won 9-runner minor event at Redcar (6f, good to firm), slowly away. Well-bred and this trip should bring more out of him, so obvious claims on seasonal debut.

Form: 881-

Forecasts

Al Tarmaah (6/4), Trinity Lake (4/1), Cassy O (13/2), Chookie Dunedin (8/1), Old News (9/1), Saisons D'Or (12/1), Proud Archi (14/1), Harbour Vision (28/1), Lammas (33/1), Club Wexford (33/1), Swiss Knight (66/1), Spartan Fighter (100/1)

AL TARMAAH appears to have been let in lightly, particularly considering he's likely to improve further now upped in trip, so he's fancied to supplement his Redcar success 7 months ago on his first outing of the new campaign. Chookie Dunedin arrives in top form and ranks as the main threat ahead of Trinity Lake.
