All weather novice winner (7f) at 2 yrs who shaped well when fifth on return/handicap debut at Newmarket (1m) last April. Never built on that at Ascot a month later but gelded/changed hands for 25,000 gns thereafter and it remains early days with him. One to note.
|
6-y-o who has gained all 4 victories on AW, latterly back-to-back 7f events for Darryll Holland during 2021. Below best for Mike de Kock all 3 starts last year and starts out for another new yard now.
|
Essentially struggled to make an impact on turf for David O'Meara last term and no real short-term encouragement from last month's yard debut effort at Wolverhampton, finishing last of 9. This should reveal more.
|
Made all for win number 3 of last campaign in 4-runner Nottingham handicap (6f) in June. Not disgraced from inflated mark next 2 starts but present mark demands that little bit more on return to action.
|
Very low-key return both starts on turf following a year off but there have been glimmers of promise on AW subsequently, including when eleventh of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 36 days ago, not knocked about. Still, yard may hold stronger claims with Eligible.
|
7-y-o who arrives in excellent order, gaining second C&D victory this winter under a very well-judged ride 3 weeks ago, passing the whole field to ultimately win cosily. Has to be on the shortlist again despite 5 lb higher mark.
|
Capitalised on falling mark in an apprentice handicap at Kempton (7f) in October and matched that when runner-up over C&D a month later, headed close home. Only 1 lb higher here, so in with a solid shout again.
|
Course winner who has continued good work from the turf in the autumn with a pair of creditable efforts on AW of late, keeping on for third in 7-runner Newcastle handicap (6f) 17 days ago. Each-way possibilities from this mark.

Forecasts
Dancinginthewoods (9/4), Eligible (5/2), Tylos (5/2), Barney's Bay (6/1), Prince Of Bel Lir (18/1), Sun Power (25/1), Eagle Creek (28/1), Rishes Baar (80/1)
ELIGIBLE has taken really well to this track in recent months and came in for a very well-judged ride when doubling his C&D tally under Joanna Mason 3 weeks ago. He looks sure to go well again in this sort of form and gets the nod to defy a 5 lb higher mark. Low-mileage 4-y-o Tylos is an intriguing contender on debut for Archie Watson though, and feared along with another in-form sort Dancinginthewoods.
