5/4
Won 13-runner event at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 6/5) in June. Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut. Open to more improvement for top yard if all is well and stall 10 could be in his favour.

Lightly-raced winner. Sold from Mrs J. Harrington 50,000 gns in September. Makes handicap debut. 6f should suit but he returns in a tough race with improvement needed.

Progressive filly when last seen in the summer, defying a penalty at Yarmouth (5.2f, 9/4) in good style. She should have more to offer now handicapping on AW debut if all is well.

10/3, career best when winning 8-runner nursery at Southwell (6.1f) 11 days ago, kept up to work. This is tougher but he can't be dismissed.

14/1
Three wins from 13 runs last year. Latest win at Chester in September. Creditable second of 12 in nursery at Lingfield (7f, AW, 6/1) 26 days ago. Consistency hard to knock and she looked unlucky over C&D in November.

Fair maiden. 28/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, 6 lengths last of 8 to Blue Prince in nursery at Southwell (6.1f) 11 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Brave Empire (5/4), Sommelier (3/1), Blue Prince (11/2), Neapolitan (7/1), Bazball (14/1), Harvanna (16/1), Loaded Gun (25/1), I'm Spartacus (33/1), G'day Mate (33/1), Callianassa (100/1)

Verdict

A useful 3-y-o sprint handicap that can go to SOMMELIER who has won his last 2 starts in 6f AW events in good style and can improve further now handicapping. His race-fitness could count for plenty against the returning Brave Empire and Harvanna, who both look decent sprinting prospects if all is well.
