Perseus Way³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: W Coltherd| OR: 75| BF| D

33/1

Placed on two all-weather runs for Owen Burrows in 2023. Has been over jumps since and was well-backed on second start for this yard when fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (16f, heavy, 5/1) 37 days ago. Market may guide expectations on return to the Flat.

Chuzzlewit^b¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 72| D

13/2

Hasn't got his head in front for a while but wasn't disgraced back on turf, fifth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good) 15 days ago, when not ideally placed. Fairly handicapped if he can build on that.

Form: 907-635

Power Of Gold¹⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 70| D

18/5

Finished last season on a low note but finds himself back below his last winning mark. Not ruled out having gone well fresh previously.

Spioradalta¹⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: J Garritty| T: M Walford| OR: 69| D

14/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023 but failed to justify support when visored for first time, tenth of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) last November, too keen to do himself justice. Will need to settle better on his return.

Paris Lights⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 69| D

18/1

Fit from the all-weather and best not judged on his most recent effort when denied a clear run, sixth of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Newcastle (8f) 44 days ago. Should be competitive on his return to turf.

Form: 351-526

Phone Tag¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 69| D

7/1

Hasn't been seen to best effect on two most recent starts, left without cover and raced freely when fourteenth of 18 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good) 16 days ago. Place claims.

Form: 632-150

Jewel Maker⁸³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in November but not in that sort of form when 18/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 83 days ago. Needs to bounce back down in trip on his return to turf.

Form: 21262-7

Arkenstaar¹⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 68| D

7/2

Third in this race last year and attracted support on final run of last season (off 2lb higher) when sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 15/2). Respected if ready to roll on his return.

Form: 320976-

Visibility¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: S Dixon| OR: 59| C| D

9/2

Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 13 days ago. Not dismissed back on turf racing off career low mark.

Partisan Hero⁶

Weight: 9-12| Age: 5

T: D Loughnane J: R Kingscote

Forecasts

Partisan Hero (9/4), Arkenstaar (7/2), Power Of Gold (18/5), Visibility (9/2), Chuzzlewit (13/2), Jewel Maker (13/2), Phone Tag (7/1), Spioradalta (14/1), Paris Lights (18/1), Perseus Way (33/1)

A competitive handicap but ARKENSTAAR makes most appeal having been third in this race last year. He's back down to a workable mark and may take this on his return. Power of Gold can also go well fresh and he's feasibly treated on reappearance, while Partisan Hero is respected in his bid for a hat-trick, and he could be dangerous if able to dictate from the front.
