Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: J Fanning| T: J Candlish| OR: 70| D

13/2

It's now fifteen runs since last win in 2018, but shaped as if in need of run when fifth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (10.4f) 22 days ago. Weighted to have a say if building on his reappearance.

200/1

It's thirty nine runs since last win in 2018, and only seventh of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere from 16 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Maori Knight (9/4), Hot Team (9/2), Arctic Vega (5/1), Mutaabeq (13/2), Gabrial The One (7/1), Polyphony (8/1), Mr Coco Bean (10/1), Heart Of Soul (16/1), Tombolo (18/1), Merweb (40/1), Salam Zayed (100/1), New Look (200/1)

Richard Fahey looks to hold a strong hand here and his in-form HOT TEAM is fancied to emerge on top in a tightly-knit handicap. Mutaabeq is on a long losing run but figures on a handy weight and is rated next best with another of Fahey's trio, Gabrial The One, appealing as the best of the rest.
