Balgair^h¹⁷⁵

18/1

Course winner. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (1m2f, 20/1) in November. Below his last winning mark, but may just be vulnerable to his younger rivals on his return.

Shaped well after 7 months off when second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 26 days ago, conceding first run. Needs to build on that effort back up in grade.

(5)

Goldsmith¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 70

17/2

Won at Lingfield in December/January on first 2 starts for current trainer. Shaped as if still in good form when third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 9/2) 16 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Form: 301-133

Forecasts

Tiempo Star (7/2), Lucky San Jore (5/1), He's A Gentleman (11/2), Hotspur Harry (13/2), Phantasy Mac (8/1), Brunel Charm (8/1), Goldsmith (17/2), Dynamic Talent (16/1), Last Hoorah (18/1), Balgair (18/1)

LUCKY SAN JORE has yet to finish out of the frame in 4 starts for his current yard, running well after 5 months off when second at Wolverhampton last month, so he is taken to build on his reappearance effort and resume winning ways. Goldsmith has also been in good form since switching trainers and can go well again, with Brunel Charm completing the shortlist.
