Strobe³⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Harry Davies| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 102

11/1

useful performer at best: won optional claimer at Fair Grounds on first outing in 2023. Best effort when second of 10 in Grade 3 Count Fleet Sprint Handicap at Oaklawn Park next start. Well below form last 2 starts: has left Brad H. Cox and having raced only on dirt, is tough to assess.

Form: 123266-

Rhoscolyn^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 101| D

40/1

Added to superb record at Goodwood in September. Good second of 8 in handicap (4/1) back there (8f, heavy) 22 days ago so clearly arrives in good order but this his first AW outing since 2021.

Form: 000192

Brewing³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: A J Farragher| T: W J Haggas| OR: 97| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Fifteenth of 18 in handicap (33/1) at Ascot (7f, good) 30 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. AW record is a very positive one.

Form: 41-6150

Mirsky^t1¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: D O'Meara| OR: 93

14/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Shaped better than result when eighth of 20 in handicap at Ascot (8f, soft, 16/1) 16 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Tongue strap back on. Merits consideration eased 2 lb.

Cuban Tiger⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 94

5/2

6/1, thirteenth of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good) 51 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. That effort can be excused and both previous wins gained on the AW.

Form: 505320

Mcmanaman¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: Ian Williams| OR: 90| D

100/1

Last of 7 in handicap (80/1) at Newbury (7f, heavy) 10 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and yet to find feet for current yard.

Form: 441707

Havanagreattime³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 87| CD

8/1

Better than ever when making a winning reappearance over C&D in March. 11/2, tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 33 days ago, proving too free and better expected back over 7f.

Form: 4210-10

(3)

Heathcliff⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 85| CD

9/4

Promising individual. C&D winner. 3 wins from 6 runs this year. 11/4, continued in fine form when second of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) 58 days ago, running on. Should have more to offer and return to 7f no issue.

Form: 413112

Forecasts

Heathcliff (9/4), Cuban Tiger (5/2), Brewing (4/1), Havanagreattime (8/1), Strobe (11/1), Mirsky (14/1), Mums Tipple (16/1), Rhoscolyn (40/1), Mcmanaman (100/1)

A good-quality handicap with lots to consider. MUMS TIPPLE failed to fire on turf this season but his AW record is a much more compelling one and the assessor has given him a chance back on his favoured surface. Brewing is another interesting proposition back on an artificial surface, while 3-y-o Heathcliff may not yet have finished improving.
