Arc Zoosve^p⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: R Havlin| T: N B King| OR: 58

15/8

With cheekpieces applied, off the mark at Wolverhampton in December and shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 7/2) 4 days ago. Can make another bold bid.

Form: 9/6661-4

Tuba¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Gina Mangan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 58

7/2

Not long with current yard and back on track last 2 starts, just kept up to work when opening account in 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f, 3/1) 16 days ago. Respected now that he's up and running.

The Craftymaster^v1²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2024 but ran better than for a while when 9¼ lengths fourth of 12 to Arc Zoosve in handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 23 days ago. On a dangerous mark with visor now the choice of headgear.

Taranjerine^p1¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Bradley| T: J R Boyle| OR: 57

10/1

Took a step forward on second handicap start when winning at Chelmsford (13.3f) in November. Lesser effort when tenth of 12 at Southwell (14.1f, 7/2) 19 days ago, but no surprise to see him bounce back with cheekpieces added.

33/1

Course winner who showed a bit more than on her reappearance when fourth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at this course (13f) 35 days ago. Task is now to build on latest effort upped in trip.

4/1

Recorded a first success over C&D in November and backed that up when third of 8 in handicap here (11/4) 36 days ago, form boosted by the winner and second scoring since. Enters calculations.

Forglen^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Darragh Keenan| T: W Stone| OR: 48

12/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in July and, retried in cheekpieces, wasted no time leaving behind a below-par effort when fourth of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Southwell (14.1f) 19 days ago. Could be in the mix.

Fornido⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Davies| T: M J Attwater| OR: 51

40/1

Gained a narrow success at Southwell (14.1f) in October, before not ideally placed when 10 lengths ninth of 13 to Taranjerine in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f, 8/1) 6 weeks ago. Needs things to drop right given his usual hold-up style.

Hiconic^t¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 8-11| J: Georgia Dobie| T: A M Hales| OR: 47| D

40/1

Making first start on the Flat since 2022 (tongue strap on for 1st time in this code), creditable 4½ lengths fourth of 9 to Tuba in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f, 28/1) 16 days ago. Potentially on a handy mark given her hurdles form.

Forecasts

Arc Zoosve (15/8), Tuba (7/2), Sapphire Sirocco (4/1), The Craftymaster (11/2), Taranjerine (10/1), Forglen (12/1), Queensland Boy (16/1), Potters Marmite (18/1), Gearing's Point (33/1), Hiconic (40/1), Fornido (40/1), Coisty (100/1)

Making only third start for current yard, ARC ZOOSVE opened his account at Wolverhampton in December before giving it a good go from the front at Southwell 4 days ago, so he is taken to resume winning ways. He can see off the challenge of Tuba, who has also returned to form since changing stables, with Sapphire Sirocco another who arrives in good heart.
