Arctic Emperor²⁰⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 83| D

6/4

Three-time winner in 2021. Ended the campaign out of sorts but handicapper has given him a chance and should be ready to go on return, so merits respect.

Form: 112440-

Crack Regiment^b²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: H Spiller| OR: 83| D

5/1

Dual winner last term who took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 6 at Chelmsford last time. Blinkers could have a positive effect and he's on a fair mark.

Form: 7015-05

(2)

Flyin' High¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Joshua Bryan| T: A M Balding| OR: 82| D

5/2

Generally consistent and arrives on the back of a good third at Windsor 18 days ago, so makes plenty of appeal in a thin race for the track.

Form: 570-443

(4)

Canoodled²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: David Egan| T: E Walker| OR: 75| C| D

7/2

Pair of turf wins in the mud at the up to 7.6f last season, the latter at this track. Below form on return, but might come on for it, so could get involved if she breaks on terms.

Form: 38410-5

Forecasts

Arctic Emperor (6/4), Flyin' High (5/2), Canoodled (7/2), Crack Regiment (5/1)

A tricky 1m handicap in which ARCTIC EMPEROR gets the marginal vote in the hope that, having been given a chance by the handicapper, he returns in better form than he was in when last seen. Flyin' High is a solid alternative and Crack Regiment is also worthy of consideration.
