Sweeping²¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 95

4/1

Quite useful at 2 but he was highly tried on occasions and that has given the handicapper plenty to go on. Will need improvement from this opening mark.

Form: 245130-

Yonafis¹⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Donohoe| T: W J Haggas| OR: 88

11/10

Looked yet another very useful prospect for his top stable when winning 1m maiden/novice events on AW at the end of 2021. Surely more to come and strongly fancied to remain unbeaten.

Form: 11-

Aswan^h1²⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 87

3/1

Fairly useful form at 2, the highlight being a 7f Glorious Goodwood nursery win in July. Steps up in trip for reappearance with a hood added.

Form: 42219-

Nasim^h1³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hayley Turner| T: A M Balding| OR: 83

11/1

Won 1m Southwell handicap on return in March. Last of 15 in handicap at Newmarket's Craven meeting 5 weeks later but he may get back on track in these calmer waters. Hooded first time.

Form: 6219-10

Tropez Power¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: B A Curtis| T: R Hannon| OR: 81| CD

17/2

Course winner over 9.5f in November. Respectable sixth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (1m, good, 22/1) 17 days ago, although he didn't help his cause by refusing to settle.

Form: 0061-76

Forecasts

Yonafis (11/10), Aswan (3/1), Sweeping (4/1), Tropez Power (17/2), Nasim (11/1)

An opening handicap mark in the high 80s could underestimate YONAFIS who is taken to stretch his unbeaten record to 3 on his return to action. Aswan, a winner at Glorious Goodwood last summer, could be the one to give William Haggas' charge most to do.
