Ended 2023 with a win at Musselburgh (9f, good to soft) in October. Effective over this shorter trip but peak fitness has to be taken on trust after 161 days off.

20/1
First run since leaving Charles O'Brien when last of 12 in C&D handicap 2) 24 days ago. Has a first-time tongue strap added to his hood now. Early days for shrewd new connections but a watching brief advised after last time.

Won at Redcar in October and followed up over C&D in November. Only narrowly denied on hat-trick bid back here a week later and player if resuming in similar form.

12/1
Six-time course winner who snapped a losing run at Southwell (7f, 20/1) last month. Raised 4 lb for that and doesn't obviously have the profile of one likely to follow up.

7/1
Wasn't firing when last seen at the end of 2023 but he's dropped to 4 lb below the mark he won this race from last year so a betting check is needed back from a break.

First run since leaving Roger Varian when seventh of 11 in C&D handicap in November. Off since. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations with her.

Resumed winning ways over 1m here last month under a canny front-running ride form Sean Kirrane. Should remain competitive up 2 lb.

Forecasts

Water Of Leith (3/1), Ratafia (9/2), Martin's Brig (9/2), Mr Squires (6/1), Code Purple (7/1), Bulls Aye (17/2), Spartan Fighter (12/1), Lope De Rueda (20/1), Paco's Pride (28/1)

Verdict

WATER OF LEITH has returned with 2 good placed efforts in recent weeks and might prove the answer to the second division of this 7f handicap. Ratafia was in fine form when last seen at the end of 2023 and heads the dangers along with recent course scorer Martin's Brig. Last year's winner Code Purple is one to note in the betting having dropped to a favourable mark.

  1. Water Of Leith3/1
  2. Ratafia9/2
  3. Martin's Brig9/2
