Dual winner as a 3-y-o who again ran respectably when third of 9 in handicap (5/1) at Windsor (6f, heavy) 30 days ago, no extra final 1f. Mark is easing steadily and his rider takes off a handy 7 lb here. Not discounted.
|
8-y-o who has often gone well fresh but lightly raced in recent seasons and possible he needed the run after 6 months off when sixth of 8 in handicap at this course (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. This should reveal more back up at 6f.
|
All the better for debut when winning 7-runner C&D maiden this time last year and ran creditably in listed/handicap company next 2 starts. Had excuses on 2 of her 3 starts thereafter last summer and no surprise to see her go well from a reduced mark on return.
|
Won over 7f at Newmarket last May but failed to match that in trio of turf starts thereafter last season. Possibly needed the run after 10 months off when ninth of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Newmarket (6f, good) 18 days ago. Tongue strap again left off here.
|
Made a winning start for this yard off a 3 lb higher mark at Newmarket (5f) last summer. Posted best effort of present campaign when fourth on Rowley Mile course back there (6f) 18 days ago and not dismissed out of hand.
|
Hasn't always looked the easiest of rides but unexposed on turf and looked well suited by a positive ride when winning 10-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, firm) 18 days ago, well on top finish. That may not prove his limit nudged up 4 lb.
|
Latest win at Southwell in January. Fourth of 5 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good, 11/4) 19 days ago, outpaced final 1f. Has fallen 2 lb below last winning mark ahead of this at least.
|
Very lightly raced for a 6-y-o and having been backed at long odds, he wasn't seen to best effect back from a lengthy absence when seventeenth of 26 in handicap (12/1) at Ascot (6f, good to firm) 25 days ago. This promises to reveal more and he's not had many tries on turf.
|
Bagged a second 6f handicap of 2023 over C&D last August. Below form thereafter and he couldn't build on his return fourth in April when ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 33 days ago. Return to sprinting could help back on turf.
|
C&D winner. Creditable sixth of 26 in handicap at Ascot (6f, good to firm, 20/1) 25 days ago, running on. Has fallen to a workable mark and boasting a good course record, he's one to consider.
|
Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 14/1) 23 days ago, every chance over 1f out and no extra only late on. Can make presence felt.
|
Successful 3 times during a busy second half of last season, latterly at Redcar (6f, heavy) in October. Below best on all-weather at Newcastle on final outing but he returns with his yard amongst the winners. Market may prove a useful guide.
|
Latest win at Newcastle in January. 80/1, again not perfect at the start but shaped as if back in form when ninth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has good chance on pick of form but slow starts are a concern.

Forecasts
Fantasy Master (7/2), Abbey Heights (9/2), Lady Dreamer (11/2), Tyke (15/2), Above (17/2), Sergeant Pep (9/1), Havana Pusey (10/1), Beelzebub (11/1), Rock Opera (12/1), As If By Chance (20/1), Glendown (33/1), Celsius (33/1), Lord Rapscallion (66/1)
FANTASY MASTER ran up to his best from a sliding mark when sixth in a big-field Ascot handicap 25 days ago and with 3 of his 4 career victories having come at this track, he shades the vote to come out on top. Tyke looked well suited by positive tactics when successful at Doncaster recently and holds claims with a repeat. The returning Havana Pusey and Lady Dreamer are others to consider.
- Tyke15/2
- Havana Pusey10/1
