11/8

Won on Wolverhampton debut in November. Could only match that form when only 5 lengths third over 1m here the following month but there's likely more to come now stepping up in trip for this handicap debut (has been gelded). Leading claims.

Form: 13-

6/4

Fairly useful form. Blinkered first time, career best when winning 5-runner novice at this course (11f, 15/8) 33 days ago, plenty in hand. Opening handicap mark looks workable.

Form: 424-1

11/2

Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 4-runner handicap (5/4) at Chelmsford (1¼m) on reappearance 46 days ago. Had plenty in hand so a 7 lb rise doesn't look severe.

Form: 625-1

17/2

Ended 2022 with nursery wins over 1m here and 1¼m at Windsor. Gelded and likely capable of better again this year.

Forecasts

Tagabawa (11/8), Maasai Mara (6/4), Imaginary World (11/2), Enochdhu (17/2)

A small field but an interesting race. TAGABAWA has a pedigree which strongly suggests middle distances will suit him this year so he gets the nod for the Charlie Appleby stable but a decent case can be made for all 4 runners.
