Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 18/1, respectable third of 13 in handicap at Redcar (6f, soft) on final start last year. Much depends on whether he's primed for this.

2/1
First run since leaving Alice Haynes when below-form fifth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (6f, good) last July. On a good mark and could bounce back with a bang after 8 months off (has had wind surgery). Confidence in his chance would be increased should the betting vibes be strong.

7/1
Won back-to-back at Newcastle (6f) in recent months. 2/1, not seen to best effect when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 11 days ago, doing too much too soon. Considered back on turf.

Two wins from 49 Flat runs. Well held at Nottingham when last seen in October. Cheekpieces back on. Chance he'll need this first outing for 6 months.

Four AW wins from 19 runs last year. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f) 7 days ago but had been a creditable third at Chelmsford prior to that. Well held in 3 turf starts last year.

Forecasts

Beelzebub (2/1), Charlie Mason (11/4), Temple Bruer (6/1), Raft Up (7/1), Gemini Star (15/2), Enderman (8/1), Lion Ring (22/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken on the returning BEELZEBUB, who has won first time up before and is well handicapped if a wind op has had a positive effect. Charlie Mason and Raft Up arrive in form from AW and rate obvious dangers.

  1. Beelzebub2/1
  2. Charlie Mason11/4
  3. Raft Up7/1
