Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 91| D

11/1

Useful gelding, on a long losing run. Ran well in the Lincoln on return last season from 11 lb higher and could be in the mix if high draw doesn't inconvenience him.

20/1

Real success for Tim Easterby last spring, landing a hat-trick. Rare try over 1m on return and goes from a high draw. Might be better for the run.

Some good efforts in a winless 2021, including a third in the Lincoln. Well held in latest renewal 9 days ago and needs a revival.

Three-time winner in 2021 under this rider (over C&D final occasion). Ran well behind Delgrey Boy over C&D off this mark final start but might need this on comeback.

Harswell Duke²⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 84

25/1

Impressive winner of 9f Musselburgh maiden last spring. Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Liam Bailey. Bit to find on return and should come on for the run.

Larado^b⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 84

28/1

Made all at Epsom in September for new yard. Off 4 months and 22/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 57 days ago. Should strip fitter for that but will find it hard to dominate this field.

Form: 46143-9

Delgrey Boy¹⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 84| CD

Il Bandito¹⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: James Horton| OR: 83| BF

6/1

Held his own after last May's Haydock win. Sold from Charles Hills 52,000 gns in October. Good efforts from new trainer's runners so far and could go well on return.

Lightening Company³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Haslam| OR: 81

9/2

Fairly useful and progressive on the Flat up to 1m. Held on hurdles debut 4 weeks ago but should be more at home back on the level (first go in a big-field handicap) and he's well drawn. Interesting.

Form: 122-42

Age: 9| Weight: 8-6| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 75| D

100/1

Four wins (all in Scotland) from 15 runs last year. Should pay his way again this term but highest draw to contend with on return and might be best watched.

Forecasts

Hortzadar (4/1), Broken Spear (4/1), Lightening Company (9/2), Il Bandito (6/1), Bowland Park (15/2), Orbaan (11/1), Crownthorpe (12/1), Jump The Gun (12/1), Boardman (20/1), Copper And Five (20/1), Harswell Duke (25/1), Delgrey Boy (25/1), Larado (28/1), Surprise Picture (50/1), Poet's Dawn (66/1), Tommy G (100/1), Rains Of Castamere (100/1)

IL BANDITO held his form really well last season and could give his new handler his first win if hitting the ground running. Broken Spear ran well in the Lincoln and is worth another chance over this trip from a good draw. Lightening Company has few miles on the clock and looks another interesting contender.
