11/10

7/2, career best when easily winning 14-runner handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft) on return 29 days ago. Hit with an 11 lb rise but that form is solid and he looks the one to beat.

Form: 4/752-1

Croachill^b1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 80| D

6/1

Winner at Doncaster (3-runner race over this trip) last summer. Off 8 months, sixth of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Ascot (10f, soft) 17 days ago. Should be better for that return and respected down 2 lb in first-time blinkers.

4/1

Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap (11/2) at Wetherby (10f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Needs a bit more.

Form: 1644-55

3/1

Ended 2022 with back-to-back Lingfield wins and again performed well there when third of 8 (2/1, 12f) 6 weeks ago. Could figure back on turf.

Forecasts

Prophet's Dream (11/10), Tudor (3/1), Western Stars (4/1), Croachill (6/1), Whirlwind (14/1)

PROPHET'S DREAM has been hit with an 11 lb rise for his Bath success but he couldn't have done it much easier and looks good for the follow up. Croachill should have come on plenty for her Ascot return and is the danger in first-time headgear.
