Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 57| D

18/1

Ended 2023 with some creditable placed efforts but has struggled in 3 outings this year. Best to look elsewhere unless the betting hints that a revival is anticipated.

(8)

Beauen Arrows²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: A J Farragher| T: M J Attwater| OR: 51

Remains a maiden after 18 starts but he has been a good second over 7f here on his last 2 outings. Enters calculations back at 6f.

Form: 69-0822

Forecasts

Revolucion (9/4), Abolish (10/3), First Company (9/2), Libra Tiger (8/1), Starsong (9/1), Beauen Arrows (9/1), Profit And Loss (12/1), South Dakota Sioux (18/1), Many A Year (33/1), Lady Nagin (33/1), Batchelor Boy (66/1), Sounds Of Spring (66/1)

REVOLUCION has been knocking on the door over 7f here and can come good back down in trip in new headgear. Beauen Arrows has been runner-up over slightly further here on his last 2 starts and rates an obvious threat, while First Company has 2 wins, 2 seconds and a fourth to show for his last 5 outings over C&D so is also a must for the shortlist.
