Unable to make a significant impact in handicaps for Denis Coakley in 2021 and has changed yards ahead of this reappearance. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations.

17/2
C&D winner. Below form thirteenth of 20 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good) on reappearance. Should be fitter with the run behind him and this is a drop in grade.

AW novice winner last summer. Bit disappointing in Doncaster handicap on final start but he returns with an unexposed profile. Definitely one of more interesting runners.

Course winner. Latest win at Chelmsford in January. 4/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 40 days ago. Step back up in trip should help at least.

Miaden winner in Ireland but has struggled to make an impact for new yard so far. Others much more obvious.

First run since leaving John Joseph Murphy when respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Leicester (1m, soft) 39 days ago, needing stiffer test. Up in trip. Can make presence felt.

Completed a C&D hat-trick to start 2022. 3/1, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Kempton (11f) latest. Been off for 97 days. Claims if returning from his break in similar form.

Four-time C&D winner. Creditable fifth of 9 in C&D handicap 20 days ago. Back to 3 lb below the mark he won off here last autumn so can't be discounted.

Improved to win first 2 handicaps over 9.5f at Wolverhampton last autumn. Encouraging return when close third over C&D 3 weeks ago. Big player.

Forecasts

Kaaranah (13/8), Meadram (4/1), Nuble (13/2), The Whipmaster (8/1), Eikonix (8/1), Beautiful Crown (17/2), Elmejor (12/1), Noble Peace (40/1), Caribou (40/1), Optimistic Belief (66/1), Dashing Spirit (500/1)

Verdict

MEADRAM has gone the right way in handicaps and gets the nod to build on a promising reappearance run over C&D 3 weeks ago. Kaaranah caught the eye a bit on his first outing for John Butler and should benefit from the step up in trip this evening so he's second choice. Eikonix has an unexposed profile for a leading stable and is another to consider.
