6/1
14/1, fared better than of late when 2¾ lengths fourth of 11 to Oriental Prince in handicap at this C&D just over 2 weeks ago, no extra last ½f. Mark eases another 2 lb and he could well get involved partnered by a very talented apprentice.

Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. 10/1, failed to come on for recent run when tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) just over 3 weeks ago. Blinkers back on.

6/1
Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. 17/2, wasn't disgraced when fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 13 days ago. Enters calculations back at a career-low mark but needs things to drop just right given his style.

7/2, showed improved form to get off the mark in first-time hood in 11-runner handicap at this C&D just over 2 weeks ago. May have better still to come so expected to be bang there.

C&D winner in July but out of sorts since next start at Catterick. Hard to enthuse over despite a tumbling mark.

13/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Southwell (5f) 18 days ago, leading final 1f. Fancied to be in the mix nudged up 3 lb.

10/3
3-time C&D winner. Twenty-two runs since last win in 2023. 9/2, failed to build on the promise of previous run when 4¾ lengths eighth of 11 to Oriental Prince in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago. Blinkers back on.

Ran poorly again after just 2 days off when fifth of 7 in handicap (14/1) at Ayr (6f, good) when last seen 5 months ago. Makes all-weather debut.

Forecasts

Oriental Prince (11/4), Pockley (10/3), Rogue De Vega (6/1), Jamie Bond (6/1), Masterclass (8/1), Shatin Venture (17/2), Piperstown (9/1), Three Beauz (16/1)

Verdict

ORIENTAL PRINCE looked well suited by the drop to 5f when getting off the mark in a first-time hood over C&D recently and, with better still to come, Jim Goldie's 4-y-o can follow up. Piperstown also opened his account last month and he should be in the mix on the back of a small rise, with Jamie Bond and Rogue de Vega taken to fight out minor honours.

  1. Oriental Prince11/4
  2. Piperstown9/1
  3. Jamie Bond6/1
