Won at Fairyhouse in September and should build on his Bellewstown comeback. Interesting if he can dictate matters.

Scored at Ripon last summer and returned with a bang having been gelded to land 6f Pontefract handicap in the mud 3 weeks ago. Raised 3 lb and could have more to offer.

5/4

Set a good standard and duly delivered as he made his final 2-y-o start a winning one in 6f Brighton novice, travelling well and coming clear. His form has a solid look to it and he looks a 3-y-o sprint handicapper to follow having been gelded.

Open Market^h⁷

9/4

Successful debut in Ireland last year and has made a solid start in handicaps in recent weeks, caught late at Yarmouth (6f) 7 days ago, looking the most likely winner heading inside the final 1f only to be collared by one that looked more straightforward under pressure. Player off the same mark.

Forecasts

Mutaany (5/4), Open Market (9/4), Wen Moon (7/2), Fox Master (5/1), Ibiza Love (10/1), Maggie's Tern (12/1), Thunderbear (18/1)

MUTAANY hails from a good Shadwell line and looks a 3-y-o sprinter to keep on side having won well at Brighton when last seen. He can make a successful return/handicap debut for a yard who have had plenty go well first time back in recent weeks. Open Market went close at Yarmouth and is respected off the same mark. Pontefract-winner Wen Moon is also considered.
