Tawtheef⁹⁷

14/1

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, heavy) in October, underfoot conditions a plausible excuse. Drops in class on return and worth noting he's won following a break previously. Had wind op.

Forecasts

Destinado (1/1), Pure Bubbles (7/2), Dillydingdillydong (11/2), Qeyaady (8/1), Forever Proud (10/1), Reformed Character (11/1), Rainbow Sign (12/1), Tawtheef (14/1), Well Prepared (33/1), Certain Style (80/1), Gosmore (125/1), Klip Klopp (125/1)

DESTINADO has been resurgent upon joining James Owen, making it 2 wins from 3 starts with a dominant display at Southwell 6 days ago. He looks the one to beat again despite conceding weight all round. Tawtheef back from a break is another of interest, with Dillydingdillydong and Reformed Character others fancied to be thereabouts.
