Injazati¹⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: C Fellowes| OR: 98| D

6/5

Highly progressive type who completed his hat-trick when readily making all at Newbury (1¼m) last September. Possibly just stretched by 1½m at Newmarket final start. Has the potential to do better again at 4.

Rhythmic Intent¹⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 96| D

18/1

Useful sort who bagged Mallard Handicap at Doncaster last autumn. Not in the same form on final 2 starts but back to just 1 lb above that last successful mark.

Form: 275150-

Iberia^p,t²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson| T: G Hanmer| OR: 94

66/1

Useful performer for Aidan O'Brien who landed a juvenile hurdle for John Halley at Gowran (2m) last winter. Well held in AW handicap on recent return for new yard after a year off. Can only watch after that.

Form: 32300/8

March Law⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 94

40/1

Useful performer. Ran poorly at Lingfield in January but he returns from a short break with his yard firing in the winners on a regular basis.

Form: 42532-0

Fishable^p,t¹⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 93| D

14/1

All 3 career victories gained at Ripon. Out of sorts at York when last seen in the autumn but he is back on a workable mark if a break has done him some good.

Form: 481509-

Peter The Great²⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 92| BF| D

11/4

Won maiden/novice on 2 of his first 3 starts. Could only manage fifth of 10 when sent off favourite at Newmarket's July meeting but that turned out to be on the of the hottest 3-y-o handicaps of the season. Remains a really smart prospect.

Form: 1215-

Baryshnikov¹⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 86| D

20/1

Consistent last year, including 2 wins at the start of the summer. Possibly more a place than win contender up against a few progressive types on this reappearance run.

Love Is Golden⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 86

16/1

Sound reappearance when 2 lengths second of 12 over this trip at Doncaster 9 days ago. Races off the same mark so ought to be competitive again.

Form: 24208-2

(11)

Racing Country^t1³⁹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: George Wood| T: D Steele| OR: 85

125/1

Fairly useful 1m winner in 2018 for Saeed bin Suroor. No show over hurdles on return last winter. Did show some ability remains whe fifth of 7 in AW handicap last March but absent again since. Tongue tie added. Can only watch.

Form: 07011/5-

First Impression⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 84| D

12/1

Runner-up on the Flat at Redcar last winter and has run some good races over hurdles since. Capable off this mark but this looks a warm race.

Form: 20502-8

(7)

Pride Of America^t³³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: S De Sousa| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 83| D

7/1

Failed to progress for Harry Dunlop but showed an immediate benefit from a trainer change when striking over this trip at Newcastle last month. No surprise were he to have more to offer for his new stable.

Form: 62948/1

Forecasts

Injazati (6/5), Peter The Great (11/4), Pride Of America (7/1), First Impression (12/1), Fishable (14/1), Love Is Golden (16/1), Rhythmic Intent (18/1), Baryshnikov (20/1), March Law (40/1), Iberia (66/1), Racing Country (125/1)

The Gosdens' won this with next-time-out Group 3 winner Waldkonig 12 months ago and PETER THE GREAT has the profile of one who could progress into a smart performer this year. Injazati is another who will likely reach that level in 2022 and he's feared most ahead of Pride of America, who made a winning start for Amy Murphy on AW last month and could have more to come for his new trainer.
