Sprung 20/1 surprise over 6f here in January before producing a career-best to land similar event 21 days ago, albeit suited by strong gallop. Step back to 7f is no concern but he is drawn higher than ideal.
|
Won at Musselburgh in October but ended last season with a pair of poor efforts. Others are preferred.
|
Better than result when fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f) 7 days ago, running on after having to wait for gap. Reliable type nowadays and he's highly respected.
|
C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 8/1, good third of 8 in handicap at this C&D 9 days ago, albeit able to dictate. Enters calculations again from 1 lb lower mark.
|
Has won 3 times this winter, including here in January. 2/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Remains on career-high mark but still merits respect.
|
C&D winner in September on final start for Andrew Balding. Below par so far for current yard, though, so has bit to prove at present.
|
C&D winner. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 28/1). Off 128 days. Still fairly low mileage but others have achieved more.
|
Good second at Redcar last summer but failed to make an impact on either outings since. Needs a couple to falter on return from 168-day absence,
|
Fairly useful maiden for Mrs J. Harrington in 2021 but is surely best watched on first start for 17 months unless market speaks favourably towards her.
|
Completed hat-trick between May and June last year but ended season off the boil and others are easier to have confidence in on return.
|
Won at Southwell in December and has held form well in defeat since, most recently when fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (8f) 9 days ago, left poorly placed. Frame claims.
|
Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in October. 10/1, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 75 days ago, needing greater emphasis on stamina. Interesting in higher grade here.

Forecasts
Gobi Sunset (10/3), Ron O (9/2), Mighty Power (11/2), Fiftyshadesofred (11/2), Starshiba (8/1), Perfect Swiss (17/2), Windsor Pass (11/1), Cloch Nua (14/1), As If By Chance (25/1), Mercurius Power (28/1), Ey Up Its The Boss (80/1), Muntadab (80/1)
STARSHIBA has been knocking on the door in search of his fourth success of the AW season and David O'Meara's gelding appeals as a very solid option with drop back to 7f no issue for the six-year-old. Gobi Sunset was seen to good effect from the front here last time and is respected again, whilst Ron O and Mighty Power are also in the midst of productive campaigns.
