Morando²¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 102

12/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2019, but he signed off last term with good third in St Simon Stakes at Newbury (12f) 7 months ago. Yard going well, so he's not discounted on his seasonal return.

Cardano^p,t¹⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 94

20/1

Fairly useful winner on the level who wasn't disgraced over hurdles when last seen out in December. Tongue strap on, and he's no forlorn hope.

Inchicore³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: A King| OR: 92

9/2

Back from 5 months off with encouraging third of 7 in handicap at Newbury (16.5f) 34 days ago. Weighted to go well off the same mark.

Form: 15653-3

Oman²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 90| BF| D

3/1

Resumed with excellent second of 4 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f) 20 days ago. Not taken lightly off an unchanged mark.

Surrey Gold²²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: S M Levey| T: H Morrison| OR: 90| D

10/3

Progressive sort who signed off for 2021 with 14f win in handicap at York in October. He can't be discounted on his reappearance.

Form: 218861-

Secret Shadow²¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: A M Balding| OR: 83| D

9/2

Ended 2021 very much on the up, well on top at the finish when landing 13f handicap at Newbury in October. That form worked out very well, so she merits serious consideration on her reappearance.

Form: 221411-

Ravens Ark¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: David Egan| T: H Morrison| OR: 83

9/1

Back to winning ways after 8 months off in 13f handicap at Lingfield 14 days ago. This is tougher, so more is required from 3 lb higher mark.

Form: 33162-1

Dancing Harry^t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: S De Sousa| T: R A Teal| OR: 82| D

16/1

Off 6 months/had wind op before good second of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (14f) 25 days ago. Bit more needed from 1 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Oman (3/1), Surrey Gold (10/3), Inchicore (9/2), Secret Shadow (9/2), Ravens Ark (9/1), Morando (12/1), Alfred Boucher (12/1), Dancing Harry (16/1), Cardano (20/1)

SECRET SHADOW made really good strides through 2021 but still figures on a workable mark so is fancied to make a winning return for her in-form yard. Inchicore is weighted to have a big say on the back of her encouraging Newbury third and rates a big threat. Oman and the Hughie Morrison-trained duo Ravens Oak and Surrey Gold are others who need considering in a very open handicap.
