Arctic Fox^p¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 65| D

9/1

Dual winner at Haydock in 2022 who turned in her best effort of last season when fourth from easing mark on final start at Thirsk (12f) in July. Never figured after 8 months off at Doncaster 11 days ago but that ought to have blown the cobwebs away. Cheekpieces back on and better expected.

Magnetic North^v⁵⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: C J Orr⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 60| D

9/1

Won a pair of claimers in Ireland last summer and perked up by return to hurdling when opening account for this yard at Market Rasen (16.6f) in December. However, not been in anything like the same form either start since in that sphere. Visor back on returned to the level.

Mon Etoile¹⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 59| D

4/1

Deservedly shed maiden tag turned out quickly when taking 7-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.5f) in September. Final outing at Southwell probably best excused and she's worth a second look back from 6 months off.

Form: 833210-

Flying Scotsman^b³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Haslam| OR: 59| D

3/1

Took advantage of much-reduced mark at Newcastle (12.5f) in January and creditable efforts have followed, third in 5-runner handicap back at that track/trip. Worth considering back on turf.

Form: 644-143

(2)

Twoforthegutter^b¹⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Beasley| T: C N Kellett| OR: 57| D

4/1

Dual winner of staying handicaps at Hamilton last June. Mixed bag thereafter but ended last term with a respectable third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) in October. Returns operating just 1 lb above last winning mark and he's in the mix.

Form: 132073-

Stellarmasterpiece⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 57| CD

10/3

Winner over 9f in Poland who built on her yard debut effort when successful over C&D last May. Hard to glean much encouragement from handful of hurdle runs in recent months so a return to the Flat needs to spark her back into action.

Form: 143/313-

Mr Globalist^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: A Mullen| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 50

40/1

Long-standing maiden on Flat/over hurdles who hasn't been pulling up any trees over timber for present yard. Return to this sphere needs to have a positive effect.

Form: 846055/

Chantilly Moon⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: P D Niven| OR: 48

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 16/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 41 days ago. Switch to turf needs to bring about improvement.

Form: 9-7840

Forecasts

Flying Scotsman (3/1), Stellarmasterpiece (10/3), Mon Etoile (4/1), Twoforthegutter (4/1), Magnetic North (9/1), Arctic Fox (9/1), Chantilly Moon (16/1), Mr Globalist (40/1)

FLYING SCOTSMAN has been in good form from his much-reduced mark on the all-weather in recent months and he could be worth chancing to continue the good work back on turf. Arctic Fox, Mon Etoile and Twoforthegutter also have legitimate claims.
