(1)

Tinto¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 88| CD

9/2

Course winner who got back on the scoresheet in first-time cheekpieces at Redcar (6f) in August and best effort for some time when second in Ayr Silver Cup. Caught the eye on second start back here (5f) 2 weeks ago so shortlisted.

Form: 7172-07

(6)

Twelfth Knight²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 88| D

9/1

Three-time winner last season who shaped much better than the distance beaten suggests at Ripon on return, every chance when short of room 1f out, not recover. Respected.

Form: 03010-8

(2)

Secret Guest⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Smart| OR: 87| D

7/2

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (5/2) at Newcastle in February. Pulled too hard there later that month and type to bounce back.

Form: 426-215

(7)

Lucky Man^p²³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: R Spencer| OR: 85| D

9/2

Good fourth in the Ayr Gold Cup as a 3-y-o but just the one decent effort last season, so has a fair bit to prove on return.

Form: 030080-

(3)

Roach Power^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 81| C| D

9/2

Ended 2023 on the up with victories here (7f) and over 6f at Haydock. Down the field fitted with a tongue tie both starts this season but might have needed it.

Form: 3011-08

(4)

Brooklyn Nine Nine^p¹⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson| T: R A Fahey| OR: 81| BF| D

10/3

Lightly-raced sort who didn't get much luck in handicaps last season but capable of going close if ready to go.

Form: 2/12846-

(5)

Conservationist¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Shane Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 80

33/1

Shaped as if amiss on first outing since leaving Clive Cox (sold 40,000 gns) after 7 months off when last of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Yarmouth (7f, good) 18 days ago.

Form: 82636-0

Forecasts

Brooklyn Nine Nine (10/3), Secret Guest (7/2), Tinto (9/2), Lucky Man (9/2), Roach Power (9/2), Twelfth Knight (9/1), Conservationist (33/1)

BROOKLYN NINE NINE caught the eye a few times in handicaps last season after making a winning return so this low-mileage 4-y-o looks a big player. Tinto is working his way back and rates a big threat along with Twelfth Knight, who had little luck at Ripon on return.
