Tourist²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 84| BF| CD

11/1

C&D winner who picked up where he left off when winning 9-runner handicap at Bath in April. Found revised mark beyond him twice since, though and now back over 6f.

Form: 251-175

(6)

Gressington^v²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: E Bethell| OR: 84| D

8/1

Successful twice at up to 7.4f last season and stepped up on his reappearance run in a switch of headgear when creditable third of 7 over this C&D. Not in the same form back here 3 weeks ago and visor quickly replaces blinkers.

Form: 515-038

(2)

Many A Star^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne| OR: 83| CD

10/1

C&D winner who had a very productive time of things this winter, scoring 3 times in all. Shaped well away from the action at Newbury 16 days ago and he's now below last successful mark.

Form: 574476

(9)

Smart Vision^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 80| C

11/4

Course winner who enhanced sound record here when finding only one too good 3 weeks ago, rallying well. Nudged up 2 lb but he can remain competitive.

Form: 23-4382

(8)

Jungle Land^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Grace McEntee| T: G Boughey| OR: 80| D

14/1

Well prepared to make a winning return at Wolverhampton in March. Creditable second of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (5f) 9 days ago and return to 6f probably in his favour.

Form: 7-12452

(1)

Brazen Bolt²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 80| D

15/2

Very useful at this peak and having dropped a long way in the weights, he took a step in the right direction when third over C&D 3 weeks ago. Danger to all if building on that.

Form: 0009-93

(4)

Juan Les Pins¹⁰⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 80| CD

10/3

C&D winner but it's now nineteen runs since last win in 2023. Issues at the stalls holding him back but a well-run 6f on a straight track will suit and he is well weighted back on turf.

Form: 88-8080

(5)

Ingleby Archie¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 80| D

6/1

Recorded third win over the minimum trip when narrowly prevailing at Beverley last month and subsequently opened his 6f account in a 20-runner York handicap 18 days later. Shaped as though still in form from a poor draw back there a fortnight ago.

Form: 8-27110

(3)

Another Investment⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 74| D

12/1

Very hard to win with and clearly needs everything to fall right given run style. Yet to find his form this term so others more persuasive.

Form: 033-005

Forecasts

Smart Vision (11/4), Juan Les Pins (10/3), Ingleby Archie (6/1), Brazen Bolt (15/2), Gressington (8/1), Many A Star (10/1), Tourist (11/1), Another Investment (12/1), Jungle Land (14/1)

Having enjoyed a productive winter on the AW, MANY A STAR shaped well from a poor draw at Newbury a fortnight ago and now below his last winning mark, a bold bid seems assured. Ingleby Archie also raced away from the main action when he was last seen and did enough at York to think he's still in form, with Brazen Bolt another to consider.
