13/2
Latest win at Newcastle in April. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 20 days ago, running on. Clearly more of a force on synthetics but he has won on turf and has to enter calculations.

5/1
11/1, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 12 days ago. No worthwhile turf form to his name and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

5/1
9/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f). Off 170 days ahead of this debut for new yard and cheekpieces back on. Solid chance judged on pick of last season's form.

7/1
Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 28/1) 22 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time cheekpieces helping to spark a return to form.

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 20 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others preferred for win purposes.

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 20 days ago. Not without each-way hope.

17/2
Below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm, 33/1) 12 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Given a chance by the handicapper but looks vulnerable all the same.

Forecasts

Masterpainter (10/3), Admiral Nelson (7/2), Island Of Skye (5/1), Ivasecret (5/1), Cloch Nua (11/2), Odd Socks Havana (13/2), Create (7/1), Chinese Spirit (17/2), Doomsday (16/1)

Verdict

ISLAND OF SKYE failed to fire at Southwell when last seen in January but he proved pretty consistent last year and is taken to make a winning start for new connections here. Next on the list is Odd Socks Havana, who has been in good heart of late. Though below par at Redcar on Saturday, Admiral Nelson could also have a part to play if turned out again quickly.
