6/1
20/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (11.2f, good to firm). Off 6 months, but has gone well fresh in the past and one to consider eased in class here off a reduced mark.

3/1
12/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and needs to find some improvement if he's to open his account.

5/2
Three wins from 6 runs last year, the latest at Southwell in December. 7/2, good third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 16 days ago, not ideally placed. Merits respect.

13/2
Temperamental sort. Two wins from 45 Flat runs, the latest of which was gained back in 2019. 14/1, good second of 8 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 28 days ago, not looking keen. Looks vulnerable.

Course winner. 3/1, didn't need to improve to win 10-runner minor event at Southwell (12.1f) 23 days ago, responding well. Should be on the premises.

12/1
Seventh of 11 in minor event (14/1) at this course (10f, AW) 31 days ago, not much room. Well worth another crack at this trip and she's not ruled out.

Forecasts

Scarborough Castle (5/2), Big Wing (3/1), Miss Sligo (10/3), Broad Appeal (6/1), Stormingin (13/2), London (12/1)

Verdict

BROAD APPEAL drew a blank last season, but his record when fresh augurs well and this is a lower-grade handicap than those he typically contests. Jonathan Portman's charge is taken to resume winning ways, perhaps at the chief expense of London, who finished with running left over 1¼m here last month and this step back up in trip looks a good move. Scarborough Castle and Miss Sligo both enter calculations, too.

  1. Broad Appeal6/1
  2. London12/1
  3. Scarborough Castle5/2
