Gained a first win of 2024 at Chelmsford City in December. Hasn't quite been able to match that form since, fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 12/1) 20 days ago, but he's now only 1 lb higher than for most recent success.

Doubled his tally when scoring at Kempton (12f) in October 2023. After 14 months off, shaped as if better for the run when fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, 50/1) 47 days ago, so this race should reveal more back up in trip.

5/1
Course winner who benefited from more positive tactics when making all at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in January. Raced on unfavoured inside when eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, 28/1) 35 days ago, so he could bounce back.

Back to winning ways at Wolverhampton in January (12.2f) and scored again there later the same month. Gave his running once more when fifth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at the same C&D 17 days ago and he could be in the mix.

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023 but ended last year in good heart, third of 10 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good to soft, 9/2) in October. Usual cheekpieces back on and she enters calculations on return.

After a spell over hurdles for current yard, got back on track when winning at Lingfield (10f) in January. Confirmed return to form when second of 9 in handicap (3/1) at the same C&D 47 days ago and he can remain competitive.

7/2
Dual course winner and also scored twice at Ffos Las last summer. Quickly left behind a lesser run when fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 8/1) in October, so he could be involved if ready to go on return.

Finally off the mark at this C&D last summer. However, below form on final start of the year, ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 33/1) in December, and others makes more appeal after 4 months off.

Remains a maiden after 7 starts, fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (10.2f, heavy, 150/1) when last seen in October. Looks to be up against it on her reappearance.

Forecasts

Jimmy Mark (7/2), Waterloo Sunset (4/1), Mrembo (9/2), Meet Me In Meraki (5/1), Baikal (15/2), Palazzo Persico (17/2), Starfighter (10/1), Ladypacksapunch (18/1), Aquifolia (66/1)

Verdict

Making only his third start on the Flat for current yard, BAIKAL scored at Lingfield in January before running well when third at the same course having been caught wide, so he can continue his good run of form to double his tally in this sphere. Mrembo made the frame on his final 4 outings last year and is next on the list, ahead of Starfighter.
