Thefastnthecurious^b²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Spencer| OR: 69

9/4

Winner at Southwell in January. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 50/1) 25 days ago. Proven on turf and could bounce back under Murphy.

Form: 68-3130

Bunker Bay^h1²⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: N Callan| T: W J Knight| OR: 69

2/1

Maiden. 6/1, good second of 13 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) when last seen, running on. Off 6 months. Hood on 1st time. Can surely pick up a race or two this year.

Form: 9/92232-

Sarkha²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 66

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 22 days ago, racing freely. May strip fitter for that return and could offer more on turf debut.

Form: 887-6

Yorkindness¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 66| D

9/2

Keen-going sort who dug deep to open account in a Hamilton maiden (11f) back in August. Good second of 8 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to soft) on return 13 days ago. She's one to consider.

Form: 22516-2

Franco Grasso²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: K Frost| OR: 64| CD

9/1

C&D winner. First run since leaving Peter Chapple-Hyam when seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 15/2) 28 days ago. Lurks on a tempting mark.

Form: 7344-77

Abraaj^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Ray Dawson| T: S Pearce| OR: 64

33/1

Case can be made on his French form but little in the way of promise for this yard. 80/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (16f, heavy) 27 days ago. Down in trip.

Form: 36/009-9

Placated²²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: Dr J D Scargill| OR: 60| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D (good to firm) when last seen. Off 7 months. Good chance from a handicapping perspective but might need it.

Form: 513514-

Forecasts

Bunker Bay (2/1), Thefastnthecurious (9/4), Yorkindness (9/2), Placated (7/1), Franco Grasso (9/1), Sarkha (11/1), Abraaj (33/1)

YORKINDNESS returned with a good effort at Beverley and can build on that with victory. Bunker Bay and Placated both make their seasonal comebacks and should be winning this term.
