11/1

Turned in his best effort of the season in a first-time visor/tongue strap on first run since leaving Danny Brooke when fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 13 days ago. Possibilities if building on that.

5/6

Finally opened account in this sphere in 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 19 days ago. 3 lb rise seems fair and could well follow up.

Form: 258-421

Ghadbbaan^p,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Morgan Cole| T: M Walford| OR: 60| D

5/1

Dual winner in 2022 who shaped as if needing the run when seventh of 11 in handicap (40/1) at this course (12.4f) 16 days ago. Will be suited by a return to 2m and needs considering.

18/1

Shaped as if needing the run after 18 months off when tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 12/1) 48 days ago. This will reveal more.

Forecasts

Eagle's Realm (5/6), Trailblazer (5/1), Ghadbbaan (5/1), Show No Fear (7/1), Kitten's Dream (10/1), Grifter (11/1), Induro De Fontaine (18/1), The Resdev Way (20/1), Bateau Bay (25/1), Strong Team (100/1)

EAGLE'S REALM quickened up well from the rear to open his account in this sphere at Wolverhampton 19 days ago and a 3 lb rise doesn't look excessive, so he gets the nod to follow up. Ghadbbaan and Grifter head the dangers.
