Good effort at Southwell in February and hasn't been seen to best effect on both subsequent outings. C&D winner who merits respect returning to turf.

On a reduced mark and enhanced a solid track record when third over C&D on reappearance. Obvious claims if he can build on that.

9/1
Already a three-time winner this year. 11/2, posted another very good effort when second of 8 in handicap at Newcastle on penultimate run and had no chance from a poor position at Lingfield on latest outing. Can get involved if the race is run to suit.

Consistent operator but doesn't have much in hand and is likely to strip fitter for this seasonal debut.

Scored over C&D from 1 lb lower mark last season and generally held form well subsequently. Notable jockey booking for return, so could get involved.

Winner at Gowran last year for Ger Lyons. Failed to fire in two outings for Kevin Ryan but still unexposed and worth a market check starting out for another new yard after 7 months off.

Well handicapped and back to form when third at Redcar on return, finishing strongly having suffered interference. Well drawn and makes plenty of appeal.

C&D winner who ended last season in good order. Stable's representatives often come on for their first run of the campaign, though.

Latest win at Chester in July. Quite consistent subsequently and no surprise if he makes a better 4-y-o, so one to consider returning from 6 months off.

On a long losing run but shouldn't be judged too harshly on latest effort at Chelmsford and he's on a handy mark if able to bounce back.

Four wins from 15 runs in a very productive 2022. Poor start for the new campaign at Redcar but could be closer to form now.

Unreliable individual who failed to beat a rival at Doncaster last month. Needs visor to perk him up.

Forecasts

Maywake (11/4), On A Session (7/2), Mister Bluebird (5/1), Gioia Cieca (6/1), Walking On Clouds (9/1), Yaaser (12/1), Liamarty Dreams (16/1), Manigordo (25/1), Gobi Sunset (25/1), Counsel (28/1), Culcor (33/1), Tilsitt (33/1)

Verdict

MAYWAKE looked right back to his best when third at Redcar on return and would have gone closer with a clear run, so he's fancied to open his account for the season. The well-treated Gioia Cieca looks the main danger and Walking On Clouds deserves respect.
