15/8
7/4, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Windsor (11.4f, heavy) on final run of 2024. Up 4 lb and will be a threat if fully tuned-up.

9/2
Five-time C&D winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (12/1) 8 days ago. Likely to give it a good shot under a penalty.

5/4
Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in novice at Southwell (8.1f, 14/1) 82 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this handicap debut and he has the strong look of a probable improver.

17/2
Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 7/4, ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 21 days ago. Tongue strap back on and he would have a serious chance if able to bounce back.

33/1
16/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (9.5f), unsuited by drop in trip. Off 6 months and steps back up in trip. Probably best watched this time.

Forecasts

Tapis Rouge (5/4), Artavian (15/8), Pysanka (9/2), Educate (17/2), Blue Hero (33/1)

Verdict

TAPIS ROUGE showed plenty when runner-up on the second of his three qualifying runs over a mile at Southwell and, commensurate with his profile and the ultra-shrewd yard that he represents, improvement is very much on the cards now faced with a stiffer test in handicap company. Artavian signed off last season on a winning note at Windsor and he gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Pysanka, who notched his fifth win over C&D last week.

  3. Pysanka9/2
