50/1

Shaped as if very much in need of the run after 6 months off when last of 11 to Il Bandito in handicap at Redcar (7f) 25 days ago. Four-time winner in 2021, so he's worth a second look.

50/1

Offered little after 5 months off when fifth of 6 in handicap at Pontefract (8f) 16 days ago. Fair ex-Irish 7f winner, but he needs to step forward for his new yard.

Forecasts

Il Bandito (4/1), Mossbawn (4/1), Challet (6/1), Outrun The Storm (6/1), Safran (7/1), Danzan (17/2), Russco (16/1), Admirality (18/1), Tammani (20/1), Danielsflyer (20/1), Broken Spear (20/1), Internationaldream (22/1), Ugo Gregory (28/1), Sir Maxi (33/1), Strongbowe (33/1), Mykonos St John (40/1), Fleetwood Pier (40/1), La Rav (40/1), Muntadab (50/1), Ramiro (50/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. MOSSBAWN made excellent strides in 2021 and is fancied to build on his encouraging reappearance third at Ripon and resume winning ways. Il Bandito came home ahead of the selection that day and is feared most, while C&D winner Challet and the Tim Easterby duo Danzan and Strongbowe are others who all warrant lots of respect.
