Oman^b³⁶

14/1

15/2 and visored for first time, pulled up in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) 36 days ago. Down in trip. Useful on the Flat and mark is a fair one if he's fully effective on the AW.

Form: 195/287-

Dirham Emirati¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: L Morris| T: G & J Moore| OR: 76| D

50/1

Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, soft, 80/1) 16 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat but has work to do from this mark back on the level.

Form: 51304/

Blow Your Horn²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: Ian Williams| OR: 74| D

7/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 20/1, first run since leaving Rebecca Menzies when 3½ lengths fifth of 8 to Capital Theory in handicap at this course (10f, AW) 28 days ago, hampered. 2 lb out of the weights bit that was an encouraging start for new yard and return to this trip will suit.

Forecasts

Capital Theory (2/1), Base Note (3/1), Silverscape (7/2), Blow Your Horn (7/1), Pirate King (12/1), Oman (14/1), Protected Guest (16/1), Prince Of Harts (33/1), Dirham Emirati (50/1)

Quite a few to consider, but BASE NOTE ended 2022 firmly on the up since fitted with a visor and, now dropped slightly in class, is fancied to successfully concede weight all round. Capital Theory is all on a roll so demands respect, with Oman to consider back on the level.
