Five wins from 16 runs last year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (2/1) at this C&D 34 days ago, keeping on well. First run for yard after leaving Tracy Waggott. Respected.

2/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in October. 10/3, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 44 days ago. Shortlist material.

22/1

Last of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Ascot (6f, good to soft). Off 110 days. Makes tapeta debut. May well strip fitter for this, so others preferred.

Triggered¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: David Probert| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 77| D

6/1

8/1, good fourth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 15 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Evidently back in form, but will need them to go a solid pace if he's to feature.

Form: 38658-4

Macho Pride⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 76| D

16/1

20/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 47 days ago, left poorly placed. Hasn't had much luck lately and is favourably treated, so dangerous to dismiss.

If You Dare (2/1), Kind Review (5/2), Invincible Larne (11/2), Triggered (6/1), Jack's Point (12/1), Macho Pride (16/1), Dream Composer (22/1)

INVINCIBLE LARNE has been consistent since joining Scott Dixon and has acquitted himself well in a higher grade the last twice so, in a tightly-knit sprint, he is marginally preferred to If You Dare, who ended 2021 right at the top of his game. Kind Review, who has moved yards since scoring here last month, is another one to consider.
