5/1
Won 2 of first 3 starts on AW this time last year and ran just about best race yet when second of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.3f) in June. Disappointed at Epsom a month later but returns to action for new yard having been gelded. Not one to write off by any means back on AW.

9/4
Has done well on AW upon joining this yard, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this course (6f, 7/2) 10 days ago, leading 2f out and always holding on. Expected to feature again under a penalty.

5/1
Dual winner at 2 yrs who couldn't add to his tally last term but signed off with respectable third of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) in August, faring best of those held up. Booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye on return and worth a second look.

9/1
Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable 2½ lengths sixth of 11 to Sibyl Charm in handicap (9/1) at this course (6f) 10 days ago, weakening gradually final 1f. Others more persuasive.

Didn't need to improve when bagging 12-runner novice at Wolverhampton (7f) in October. Ran well when fifth back in much stronger company back there a month later and he remains relatively low mileage back from 4 months off.

Enjoyed a good spell this winter, running up to best when adding to his tally at Lingfield (1m) in February. However, not at best when tenth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 11 days ago.

C&D winner. Three wins from 16 runs last year. 10/1, respectable third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 28/1) 37 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Laura Mongan and others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Sibyl Charm (9/4), Prairie Falcon (5/1), Woodstock (5/1), Goldsmith (13/2), Sir Maxi (7/1), Illusionist (9/1), Initio (10/1), Bowman (12/1)

Verdict

PRAIRIE FALCON ended last term with a good third over this trip at Thirsk in August and, appealing as being on a workable mark and Hollie Doyle very much an eye-catching booking, it would come as no surprise to see Michael Dods's 4-y-o put up a good showing. Sibyl Charm, a recent winner over 6f here, is also expected to feature, with the returning Woodstock on debut for Ruth Carr and Sir Maxi others worth a second look.
