20/1

Winner here over 7f from 1 lb lower in July but no impact in a handicap/listed contest to end 2021 and well held on reappearance 16 days ago.

Form: 64160-6

11/4

Looked far more professional when making third start a winning one in 3-runner novice at Brighton a month ago. In good hands and can progress but opening mark looks stiff on the face of it.

Form: 9-41

Roxzoff¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 83| D

11/4

Has already enjoyed an excellent 2022, improving further when overcoming the rise in class in 13-runner handicap at Sandown last month, his fourth win of the year. Did very little wrong when runner-up from this mark at Doncaster so remains of serious interest.

Recurrent Dream²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 83| BF

14/1

Maiden/claiming winner as a 2-y-o for Ger Lyons. Spurned a good opening in latter company on final start for that stable last month and isn't obviously well in for new yard.

Form: 1051-52

(2)

Nuvolari²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 82

18/5

Debut win at Epsom in September and took a step forward when fourth of 11 in 1m handicap at Goodwood, not being ideally placed. Race also didn't pan out for him last time so he's probably in good form.

Form: 13-648

(4)

Uzincso³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: J Butler| OR: 72| D

17/2

On a lengthy losing run and while he has a much lower mark on turf to work with, that does look fully justified.

Form: 465439

(6)

Tartan Chief^b1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁷⁾| T: P & O Cole| OR: 80| D

9/2

Ended his 2-y-o campaign with a couple of nursery wins at Salisbury and Windsor, showing a good attitude on both occasions. Pleasing comeback at Sandown and likely to build on that. Blinkers go on.

Form: 32511-8

Forecasts

Enforced (11/4), Roxzoff (11/4), Nuvolari (18/5), Tartan Chief (9/2), Uzincso (17/2), Recurrent Dream (14/1), Lalania (20/1)

ROXZOFF continues the go the right way, finding only another progressive rival too good when attempting the hat-trick at Doncaster 11 days ago and he looks the one to beat from the same mark. Nuvolari is in better heart than his form figures would suggest, while Tartan Chief should last longer this time with his reappearance under his belt.
