15/2

Dual winner in this sphere in 2021 and creditable fifth of 12 in a competitive Haydock handicap (2m, good) on sole start last year. This trip shorter than ideal but still worth a look in the betting back from an absence.

9/1

Better than ever when scoring in the mud at Chester in September. Not in anything like the same form at Windsor since but perhaps a return to testing ground will help.

Forecasts

Dark Jedi (15/8), Genesius (11/4), Animato (4/1), Goobinator (15/2), Reel Rosie (9/1), Gastronomy (16/1)

DARK JEDI rather bumped into one here last time, the fact he was well clear of the remainder suggesting he's in good enough form to take advantage of his reduced mark. Genesius is suited by going softer than good and can provide the chief threat ahead of Animato.
