Twenty three runs since last win in 2020, and only sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 6/1) 31 days ago. Useful when on song, so he still enters calculations.

33/1, first run since leaving John Mackie when last of 7 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, good) 10 days ago. Three-time 10f winner in 2020, but he has it to prove now.

Yet to score in 2021, but he arrives in decent form, third of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good) 19 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces now. Not dismissed.

Course winner in August who took his form up a notch when excellent second in 1m handicap at Sandown (good to soft) 25 days ago, left poorly placed. Should prove effective over this trip. Player.

Forecasts

Western Alliance (3/1), Irish Legend (4/1), Arqoob (11/2), Pied Piper (7/1), Mashhoor (7/1), Liberation Point (15/2), Kolisi (15/2), Croeso Cymraeg (10/1), Seasett (11/1), Sky Defender (12/1), Alexander James (25/1), Lunar Jet (33/1)

Verdict

ARQOOB arrives on an upward curve with winning course form too so he gets the nod in a useful handicap. In-form Irish Legend heads the list of dangers, although Croeso Cymraeg should be all the better for his recent Goodwood run after an absence and is feared too.

  1. ARQOOB (IRE)
  2. IRISH LEGEND (IRE)
  3. CROESO CYMRAEG
