9/2
Course winner. Latest win here in September. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 4/1). Off 93 days ahead of this debut for new yard. Needs a second look.

50/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 17 days ago. Significantly down in trip and would be a threat if bouncing back to his best.

Latest win at Kempton in October. Seventh of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 23 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good.

9/1
Two wins from 5 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 22/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and definite chance if she puts her best foot forward.

15/2
C&D winner. 13/2, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f). Off 6 months but this consistent type should be in the mix, provided he is fit enough to do himself justice.

11/1
Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 33 days ago. Needs to bounce back but he'll be a danger to all off this reduced mark if able to do so.

Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 22/1) 33 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark but others make more appeal all the same.

Forecasts

Cavern Club (11/4), Tenerife Sunshine (4/1), Valsad (9/2), Qaasid (15/2), Queen Of Ipanema (9/1), Howth (11/1), Haveyoumissedme (12/1), Tiger Beetle (12/1), Furzig (22/1), Barenboim (22/1), Sonnerie Power (33/1)

Verdict

Likely to come on for his spin at Newcastle where he was returning from a four-month break, HOWTH could be the answer to this open-looking race. He is now 4 lb lower compared to when finishing a good third in a Class 2 Chelmsford handicap last summer and a reproduction of that would give him every chance. Tenerife Sunshine took a step back in the right direction at Kempton recently and he is feared most ahead of Valsad, Queen of Ipanema and Tiger Beetle.
