Risen Again^h,v1¹⁹

10/3

Still a maiden but blinkered for 1st time when a very good second of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 19 days ago. Visor on now and a likely player off an unchanged mark.

Royal Observatory^p⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: S D Bowen| T: K Frost| OR: 56| D

11/1

Winner at Chelmsford City in December. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 70 days ago. Can give a good account.

Form: 912-324

Forecasts

Bobacious (11/4), Just An Hour (3/1), Risen Again (10/3), Time Tells All (13/2), Royal Observatory (11/1), Covert Legend (12/1), Muhib (12/1), Mitigator (50/1)

A tight-knit handicap in which RISEN AGAIN looks the way to go given he can race off the same mark as when a very good Lingfield second last time out. Just An Hour lacks a recent run but resumes on a lenient mark so could emerge as the chief danger ahead of Bobacious and Time Tells All.
