Blinkered first time, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 5/2) 11 days ago, doing too much too soon. Successful on the previous occasion he was partnered by Billy Loughnane. Solid claims.

Night Emperor⁴⁸³

Modest form at best for Hugo Palmer in 2024. Starts out for a new yard after 16 months off. A watching brief is advised unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

11/1

Placed in turf handicaps over this trip last summer but hasn't reproduced that in AW handicaps since, the latest at Southwell after a break. This keen-goer needs to learn to settle better.

Form: 33-2580

Forecasts

Age Of Time (5/2), Spun To Gold (3/1), Brother Dave (9/2), Captain Vallo (10/1), Superior Council (10/1), Pallas Lord (12/1), Tees George (12/1), Outrun The Storm (14/1), Reenie's Dream (25/1), Amelia's Joy (25/1), Night Emperor (25/1)

AGE OF TIME struck off this mark under Billy Loughnane in the autumn and can resume winnings ways on the back of a couple of good placed efforts this month. Brother Dave arrives at the top of his game and is second choice ahead of Spun To Gold.
