Kiwano⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Baker| OR: 92| CD

20/1

C&D winner. Two wins from 5 runs last year. Didn't need to be at best when winning 10-runner handicap at Sakhir (6f, good to firm) 47 days ago. BHA has taken a dim view of that, so needs to be back to best if he's to land this.

Forecasts

Caragio (9/4), Hickory (10/3), Zero Carbon (7/2), Follow Your Heart (17/2), Revolutionise (9/1), King Cabo (11/1), Kiwano (20/1), Toimy Son (22/1), Hodler (66/1)

HICKORY had some solid form in competitive handicaps last season and he's 2 from 3 at the track, so he's worth a chance to make a winning return at the possible expense of Zero Carbon, who represents a stable that can do no wrong at present. Revolutionise has a fitness edge over that pair and should be respected.
