Red Mirage¹⁹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R L Moore| T: A M Balding| OR: 89| CD

10/3

C&D winner who ran no sort of race in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton on final outing in October, but has since switched yards (sold from Mark Johnston 38,000 gns) and is potentially well treated on last year's early-season form.

Form: 176407-

8/1

In excellent form when last seen, posting career best when runner-up in 1m handicap at Kempton in September. Off since but sure to be in the mix if returning in similar form.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Luke Catton⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 87| CD

8/1

C&D winner who ran below form over 1m at Kempton 16 days ago. Has dropped to a handy mark on the pick of his form and not ruled out back over a more suitable trip.

Form: 8-26686

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: P R Chamings| OR: 87| BF| D

28/1

Dual winner last year who turned in a rare poor effort at Newbury on final outing in October. Type to bounce back on this return to action.

Aramis Grey²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Rae Guest| OR: 82| C| D

11/2

Proved at least as good as ever when off the mark for the season in 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 20 days ago. Can give another good account following small rise.

Form: 26-3341

Hello Zabeel²¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Shane Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 79| D

9/4

Set a good standard and didn't need to improve to get off the mark in 10-runner maiden at Carlisle (6.9f, good to firm) in September. Returns from 7 months off with yard going well.

Form: 20221-

Bobby On The Beat³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 70| CD

11/2

C&D winner in February who ran another good race when second in 12-runner handicap at Kempton (6f, 14/1) 30 days ago, running on. Not taken lightly.

Form: 112942

Forecasts

Hello Zabeel (9/4), Red Mirage (10/3), Aramis Grey (11/2), Bobby On The Beat (11/2), Hieronymus (8/1), Revolutionise (8/1), Ostilio (25/1), Spanish Star (28/1)

RED MIRAGE is potentially well treated on last year's early-season form now setting out for a new stable, so he could be the way to go. Aramis Grey should remain competitive following a small rise for Wolverhampton, while Spanish Star is liable to bounce back on this return to action.
