4/1
Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form seventh of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Haydock (8f, heavy). Off 6 months and back up in trip for this AW debut. May find one or two too good.

11/8
Thrice-raced winner. First run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when landing an 8-runner minor event (9/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 24 days ago, plenty in hand. Further progress likely now handicapping.

150/1
First run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when fourth of 7 in minor event at Dax (10.4f, good, 52/10) last summer. That was her sole start for Francois Rohaut and she is opposable back from 9 months off on debut for another new yard.

18/1
Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Ninth of 10 in handicap (15/2) at Doncaster (10.2f, soft) 15 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and would be a danger to all off this reduced mark if bouncing back to his best.

10/1
12/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D 24 days ago, always holding on. 2 lb rise easy to digest and he has to enter calculations.

14/1
C&D winner. Four wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Ayr in October. 20/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at this course (8f) 26 days ago, very slowly away. Back up in trip and he's probably worth taking on.

5/2
Creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 14 days ago, running on. Not long with this yard and, likely to come on for that reappearance spin (first run for 9 months), he is a strong candidate.

Forecasts

Aerospace (11/8), Westernesse (5/2), Arkendale (4/1), Loyal Touch (10/1), Bashful (14/1), Toshizou (18/1), Tarjamah (150/1)

Verdict

AEROSPACE clearly hasn't been the easiest to train but the 16,000 gns new connections paid for him looks like money well spent judged on his impressive comeback success in a Wolverhampton novice. Given that he was returning from almost two years off, the 5-y-o is entitled to come on for that and he may well find the necessary improvement to follow up on this handicap debut. Westernesse shaped well on his reappearance over C&D a fortnight ago and he is the clear main danger ahead of Toshizou.
