My Honey B²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 64| D

9/2

Kept busy at 2 yrs and, after 5 months off, ran well when fourth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (1m, heavy, 15/2) 27 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 33614-4

Leap Year Lad²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 62

9/4

Without the headgear for return to turf, shaped as if still in form when third of 6 in handicap (10/3) at Redcar (1m, heavy) 20 days ago, not settling fully. Quirky character but he's capable of getting involved.

Form: 45-4223

Arkenstaar²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 61

11/4

Looked rusty after 6 months off (had been gelded) when third of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Redcar (1m, heavy) 27 days ago, though did run on well late on. Could do better with that behind him.

Form: 6864-3

Forecasts

Leap Year Lad (9/4), Arkenstaar (11/4), Obama Army (3/1), My Honey B (9/2), Epona Pas (9/2), Senseofentitlement (13/2), Kohana Breeze (25/1), Humble Spark (33/1), Crown Bridges (100/1)

OBAMA ARMY has been going the right way sent handicapping this year, finishing runner-up on his last 2 starts, and he can continue his progress to get off the mark this time around. Leap Year Lad shaped as if still in good form on his latest outing and could be the main danger, ahead of My Honey B.
