9/2
10/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) on reappearance 32 days ago. Should come on for the run and he won on turf off a higher mark last spring.

10/3
Ended 2024 with 3 creditable placed efforts and can be very competitive off this mark if he's ready to roll on reappearance. Second-time cheekpieces replace regular blinkers.

Hasn't shown enough in 4 AW outings for new yard this year to be overly positive about his prospects back on the grass.

10/1
Course winner who scored at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in January. Has recorded creditable efforts at Chelmsford in recent months and ought to be competitive back on the grass.

4/1
7/1, respectable third of 14 in handicap at Kempton (1m) when last seen in October. Cheekpieces back on. Much depends on whether he's primed for this first outing in 6 months.

4/1
Promise on return from an absence at Kempton last month and possibly found the run coming a bit quick on him when only sixth at Lingfield since. Runner-up in his previous turf handicap. Considered.

6/1
Twenty five runs since last win in 2022 but he has shaped better than the result in his recent AW starts. Type to pop up at some stage from his career-low mark.

Forecasts

Ballsbridge (10/3), Double Red (4/1), Fat Gladiator (4/1), Born A Rebel (9/2), Ring Of Gold (6/1), Green Power (10/1), Next Trick (11/1)

Verdict

FAT GLADIATOR had a possible excuse last time and might be worth another chance to build on a promising comeback run at Kempton. Ring of Gold has shaped quite well with a visor added in recent starts and is feared most ahead of the returning Ballsbridge.
