First run since leaving Paul Nicholls when good fourth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 100/1) 34 days ago, not ideally placed. Significantly back up in trip. Respected.

Ninth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 22 days ago, needing stronger gallop. On a decent mark if able to recapture his form.

22/1
Very good return from 20-month absence when close second at Doncaster in June. Yet to fully build on that, holding every chance when fourth of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (14f, good to firm). Off 111 days. Makes tapeta debut.

Won at Chelmsford in November before following up 10 days later in 10-runner handicap (3/1) at Newcastle (16.2f) 28 days ago, always holding on. That was a career-best and he should be in the mix again.

Creditable 3¼ lengths fifth of 10 to Aqwaam in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 17/2) 28 days ago, nearest finish after meeting trouble. Merits consideration.

Latest win at Lingfield in October. Creditable third of 10 in handicap there (15.8f, AW, 4/1) 10 days ago, missing break. Should continue in form.

Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has edged back to last winning mark and he holds place claims.

9/2
Latest win at Haydock in September. 9/2, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 51 days ago, running on. Still relatively low mileage and he's capable of going well again.

Forecasts

Aqwaam (11/10), Cool Party (9/2), Pleasant Man (15/2), Mostly Sunny (8/1), Sarsons Risk (9/1), Barenboim (11/1), Sharp Distinction (14/1), Apparate (22/1), Oceanline (33/1)

Verdict

AQWAAM is in the form of his life and can complete the hat-trick having only been nudged up 2 lb from his latest Newcastle success. Cool Party remains relatively unexposed as a 2-miler and can pose the biggest threat, whilst Sarsons Risk would have got closer to the selection last time granted a clearer run and completes the shortlist.

  1. Aqwaam11/10
  2. Cool Party9/2
  3. Sarsons Risk9/1
