9/2

Smart gelding. Improved again when career best when winning 10-runner listed race at Wolverhampton (7.2f) by ¾ length from Happy Power. Much respected after 8 months off.

Form: 3/186-21

1/1

Won Newmarket maiden on sole start at 2 yrs. Still green when short-head second of 6 to Westover in Classic Trial at Sandown (10f, good, 11/1), just failing. Off 7 months. Should have more to offer.

Form: 1-2

Dhabab^t³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 107

2/1

Smart gelding returned from over a year off the track to win 11-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 7/2) 32 days ago. Should make up for lost time this winter and can go well again.

Form: 16345-1

The Wizard Of Eye^p1¹⁶

20/1

Useful colt. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Runner-up in Group 3 at Goodwood in the summer but hasn't replicated that performance since and others are preferred.

Forecasts

Cash (1/1), Dhabab (2/1), Tinker Toy (9/2), The Wizard Of Eye (20/1), Ranes (25/1)

Lots to like about the top 3 in the betting here, with preference for DHABAB. The Gosdens' gelding made the frame on a couple of occasions at 2 yrs and returned from a lay-off with an impresssive victory at Lingfield last time. Cash, last seen chasing Westover home, is an exciting prospect for middle distances, whilst Tinker Toy was a rapid improver last winter.
