7/1

Promise at 2 yrs for Roger Varian before 16-month absence. Gelded ahead of reappearance when failed to justify market support at Lingfield in January. Slowly away at Southwell next time and off a further 4 months.

8/1

Won sprint handicaps at Bath and Brighton in 2021 but ended the year on a low note. Fared little better after 8 months off on return at Wolverhampton 15 days ago. Has enough to prove at present.

12/1

Proved to be a revelation upon joining this yard from Ireland in 2021, racking up a 4-timer (all wins at 7f) during the summer. However, her form has gone the wrong way this year.

2/1

Enjoyed a productive campaign in 2020 but little form since. However, was well-backed ahead of running at Brighton (6f) 3 days ago when wasn't seen to best effect. Could be worth another chance.

Form: 80-5884

Went off the boil at the end of last season for Roger Teal having won at Wolverhampton (6.1f) in August. Back down in the weights and has placed on 3 of his last 4 starts for new yard. Leading contender.

13/2

Down to a career-low mark and returned to winning ways at Lingfield (7f) in March. Runner-up at Windsor (6.1f) next time but down the field both starts since. Needs to bounce back.

25/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Generally struggled for form last year but produced one of better efforts when second at Windsor (6.1f) in August. Only poor form so far this season though.

Forecasts

Bowling Russian (2/1), Youllovemewheniwin (10/3), Andre Amar (11/2), Q Twenty Boy (13/2), Monsieur Patat (13/2), Haseef (7/1), Holbache (8/1), Porterinthejungle (12/1), Firenze Rosa (12/1), Amnaa (25/1)

YOULLOVEMEWHENIWIN has found his form again since switching yards and can record a first success for his new trainer. The 4-y-o has been running well this year, placing on 3 of his last 4 starts, and is now 2 lb below his last winning mark. Bowling Russian is well handicapped on old form and is feared most, ahead of Andre Amar who should be able to build on his encouraging reappearance effort.
