Progressive at up to 2m for Marco Botti last year and made a sound start for new connections when staying-on fifth over 11f at Hamilton 2 weeks ago. Step back up in trip in his favour.
|
Held her form well during a busy 2021 campaign, but resumes on what looks a tough mark (18 lb higher than for her latest success at Yarmouth last May) and others make more appeal.
|
Well held in 2 Flat starts since joining this yard and can only watch for now.
|
Profilific earlier in his career but has merely been going through the motions lately, first-time blinkers not making any difference last time.
|
Course winner last autumn and has performed well in defeat since, going down by ¾ length to Haizoom over 13f at Hamilton a fortnight ago. Return to 2m in his favour. On the shortlist.
|
Progressive at 1¾m+, making it 3 wins in his last 4 starts (all AW) when edging ahead late on over 2m at Southwell last month. Claims if in similar form back on the turf.
|
Has improved again this year, winning 2m handicaps at Goodwood and Ascot in recent weeks. Idled and value for more than the winning margin at latter venue so the handicapper may not have cauight up with him despite a 4 lb rise. Leading claims.
|
Has won both starts for new yard, cosily seeing off 6 rivals over 2m at Ripon 16 days ago. Up another 6 lb but possible he could have even more to give for this stable.
|
All the better for her reappearance when taking a 13f Hamilton handicap in the first leg of the Sky Bet Sunday series 2 weeks ago. 3 lb rise is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing from this filly with a largely progressive profile.
|
Lightly-raced 4-y-o with a solid profile, returning with a good second of 8 at Chelmsford (13f) 45 days ago. Unexposed now tackling 2m for the first time. One of the more likely types.
|
Losing run goes back to 2019 and he didn't offer any indication he's likely to put that right soon on Chester reappearance 16 days ago.
|
Unexposed 4-y-o who was by no means all out to make a winning reappearance in 1¾m Thirsk handicap 3 weeks ago. Should be more to come up at 2m. Big player despite a 6 lb rise.
|
Two wins over 17f at Pontefract last year. Fit from a run over hurdles but ran well below form when remote fourth back on Flat at Doncaster (2m) 22 days ago. Others are more persuasive.
|
Having just the fifth start of his career when returning from 7 months off to win a 2m Doncaster handicap last month. Only nudged up 2 lb and lightly-raced profile provides hope for better again.
|
Four wins from 15 runs last year but well below par both runs this term (distant fourth first occasion). Hard to fancy.
|
Winning reappearance at Doncaster in March but hasn't been in quite the same form on both outings since. Others certainly arrive with more pressing claims.
|
Progressive when completing a hat-trick last spring but form levelled off subsequently. Respectable reappearance run at Leicester but might find a few too strong again kept to Class 4 level.

Forecasts
Super Superjack (3/1), Emaraty Hero (13/2), Haizoom (7/1), Evaluation (15/2), Wor Willie (10/1), Ghadbbaan (11/1), Summertime Romance (11/1), Geremia (12/1), King Viktor (16/1), Phoenix Aquilus (18/1), Tendentious (20/1), Single (33/1), King's Advice (33/1), Flint Hill (40/1), Indianapolis (50/1), Bollin Neil (66/1), Diocletian (100/1)
Another cracking handicap in which several can be given a chance. SUPER SUPERJACK did no more than required once hitting the front at Ascot last time and could still be a step ahead of the handicapper so he's narrowly preferred to Wor Willie, who won well at Thirsk and should have more to come now moving up to 2m. Emaraty Hero and Summertime Romance also make the shortlist.
- Wor Willie10/1
- Emaraty Hero13/2
