Corvair^p,t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: R Kingscote| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 85| D

80/1

Untrustworthy individual. Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. 33/1, last of 8 in handicap at Ascot (6f, good) 12 days ago.

Form: 332-688

(2)

Little Boy Blue⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: W G M Turner| OR: 82| D

18/1

Sound reappearance over 6f here in March but could only finish down the field at Windsor last time. Frame claims if able to bounce back.

Form: 5315-40

(5)

Ostilio¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 82| D

66/1

Snapped a long losing run dropped to a claimer at Lingfield in January (final run for Archie Watson), but below form back in handicaps for current yard since.

Form: 508080

(8)

Ivasecret²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: J Butler| OR: 81| C| D

5/2

Ended last term in good heart and picked up where he left off to produce a career best when scoring at Lingfield on return, quickening to lead final furlong. Entes calculations from only 2 lb higher mark.

Form: 91533-1

(6)

Repartee¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Ray Dawson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 80

11/1

Listed scorer in 2020 but he's struggled since, including all 4 starts since joining this yard cheaply from Kevin Ryan. Continues to fall in weights but doesn't look set to take advantage.

Form: 08-5767

(7)

Bowman^p1¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: William Carson| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 79| D

66/1

Fairly useful last year for Mark Johnston but hasn't recaptured that form in 2022 for new yard. First-time cheekpieces go on.

Form: 8-96758

(10)

Billy Mill¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: R Coakley| T: B R Millman| OR: 79| D

12/1

Runner-up 4 times after winning his first 2 starts of 2021 for Richard Hannon. Possibly still needed run when fourth of 5 over C&D a fortnight ago and not fully discounted if stripping fitter.

Form: 2262-04

(4)

Wonder Elzaam^p1⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: J F Egan| T: J S Moore| OR: 79| D

13/2

Won at Wolverhampton in November before a mixed spell in Bahrain. Only mid-field on return to action in Britain (gelded since) but remains well treated on old form.

Form: 0-52609

(1)

Biggles²⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 75| C| D

5/2

Lightly raced for age and progressed last season, winning at Sandown on his final start in 2021. Off 9 months but very much looks the type to do better again this season and may take the beating on return.

Form: 6/71261-

(3)

Got No Dollars^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 74| CD

9/2

Has notched 4 AW wins since joining this yard, including over C&D. Slightly below form when fifth over C&D a fortnight ago but possesses a largely solid profile for this sort of test and is considered.

Form: 4-11225

(9)

Evasive Power²³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: David Probert| T: R Brisland| OR: 70| CD

80/1

C&D winner ended 2021 in a lull and hasn't been to seen to best effect either start this term. Given a chance by the handicapper.

Form: 877-847

(11)

Handel¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 68

66/1

Ex-Aidan O'Brien inmate finished runner-up in Wolverhampton minor event in January but looks to have gone off the boil since and is hard to fancy on current form.

Form: 66-2785

Forecasts

Biggles (5/2), Ivasecret (5/2), Got No Dollars (9/2), Wonder Elzaam (13/2), Repartee (11/1), Billy Mill (12/1), Little Boy Blue (18/1), Bowman (66/1), Ostilio (66/1), Handel (66/1), Corvair (80/1), Evasive Power (80/1)

BIGGLES looked ahead of his mark last season and Ralph Beckett's lightly-raced 5-y-o can make a winning return here. Ivasecret should prove stern opposition in his follow-up bid, whilst Got No Dollars has been a generally consistent performer this year and can also make the frame.
