Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: S Curran| OR: 75| D

9/1

Dual AW winner for Alan King earlier in career (both at 7f) but some way below best in 2 starts on turf for Kevin Philippart De Foy/Matt Crawley last year. Starts out for another new yard now and has been given a chance by the assessor.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 75

3/1

One win from 22 Flat runs. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 11/2) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Politics^h³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby| OR: 70| BF| CD

13/8

C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Sixth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 3 days ago, not ideally placed. Can make presence felt.

Form: 216-156

Broxi^b²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: D K Ivory| OR: 70| D

5/2

Three wins from 14 runs last year, latest at Brighton in October, and has remained in form since, good third of 8 in handicap over C&D (AW, 9/4) 27 days ago. Highly likely to go well again.

Form: 11532-3

Kondratiev Wave¹⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 70| C

12/1

Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 33/1 and blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, heavy). Off 148 days. Others more persuasive.

Form: 442389-

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Deon Le Roux⁽⁷⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 67

150/1

Ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 150/1) 18 days ago. Still looking for first success.

Handel¹⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 60

22/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 40/1), left poorly placed. Off 6 months. Not easy to make a strong case for.

Forecasts

Politics (13/8), Broxi (5/2), Secret Strength (3/1), Bobby Dassler (9/2), Letmelivemylife (9/1), Kondratiev Wave (12/1), Porfin (12/1), Handel (22/1), Dutch Admiral (150/1)

BROXI is holding his form well and gets the nod in a race where few make much appeal. Bobby Dassler and Letmelivemylife may provide the chief threat.
