10/3
5/1, improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 21 days ago. 2 lb nudge neither here nor there and he's high on the shortlist.

9/2
5/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f) 13 days ago. Clearly at the top of his game and 3 lb rise for latest success is unlikely to preclude a bold bid as he goes in search of the five-timer.

4/1
C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/2, fifth of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (5f). Off 146 days and he will probably come on for the run.

Latest win at Redcar in October. 8/1, last of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) on final start of 2024. Others make more appeal.

17/2
C&D winner. Two wins from 4 runs last year. 10/1, bit below form fourth of 14 in handicap at York (5f, good to firm), going off too hard. Off 7 months but has gone well fresh in the past and she's not without each-way hope.

16/1
16/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) on latest start in December. 3 lb rise could be enough to find him out back on turf in a stronger race.

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 6¼ lengths eighth of 9 to Spartan Arrow in handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Clearly has work to do.

9/2
C&D winner. Five wins from 10 runs last year. Respectable fifteenth of 24 in handicap (7/2) at Ayr (6f, good to firm), hampered. Off 6 months. Possibilities if fully tuned-up for this assignment.

Forecasts

Spartan Arrow (10/3), Looking For Lynda (4/1), Paddy's Day (9/2), Eternal Sunshine (9/2), Mon Na Slieve (6/1), Profitable Edge (17/2), Thankuappreciate (16/1), Curious Rover (18/1)

Verdict

SPARTAN ARROW was a good third in a pretty valuable York handicap on his sole start last year and, having finished down the field in the Newcastle contest won by Paddy's Day on return/debut for new yard in February, he showed the benefit of that spin when striking at Wolverhampton three weeks ago. The low-mileage 5-y-o is taken to follow up here and, in the process, bring the winning spree of Paddy's Day to a halt. Profitable Edge is also likely to be involved in the finish.
