One-time useful performer was placed in top-level handicaps in 2023. Seen only twice since but proved he retains ability when fourth of 8 at Nottingham in October. Returns from another 140 days off here.

Age: 8|  Weight: 9-13| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Tom Dascombe| OR:  79
Front-runner ended a long losing run at Kempton (2m) in January and backed that up with a good second in 9-runner race at Lingfield later that month. Can make presence felt again.

Age: 6|  Weight: 9-8| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Ian Williams| OR:  74
Useful at his best but has blown the start badly on both outings since returning to the Flat for current yard and is easy to oppose again.

Age: 7|  Weight: 9-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Bandey| OR:  74
Suited by the emphasis on speed when landing a handicap over 16.5f at Wolverhampton in January. Confirmed himself still in good form when third at Kempton later that month, though perhaps not certain to benefit from even longer trip here.

Won 3 of last 4 starts as a 3-y-o, including twice at this track. Failed to sustain her effort only late on when third of 11 at Newcastle (7/4F) 13 days ago and has to be shortlisted with that run under her belt.

Tarbat Nessb17
Age: 7|  Weight: 9-6| J: Gina Mangan| T: John Berry| OR:  72
Signed off 2025 Flat season with victory at Catterick and has returned better than ever this year, winning back-to-back handicaps at Newcastle. 7 lb higher mark will require career best but he can't be discounted given the form he arrives in.

Hard to catch right but produced one of better recent efforts when third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (66/1) last month. Followed that with a shocker at Newcastle since, though.

On a losing run of 28 races and was below best back in cheekpieces when seventh of 9 at Lingfield (9/1) 4 weeks ago. Others preferred.

Last seen on the Flat when 8th of 9 at Carlisle (20/1) in July. Has been running over fences since, pulling up on latest outing in October. Faces a stiff task on return to the level.

Age: 5|  Weight: 8-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: N B King| OR:  62| BF
Has won twice on AW since joining Neil King this winter, most recently at Lingfield in January. Good second at this course next time out and probably found race coming too soon when fifth here 24 hours later.

Forecasts

Tarbat Ness (9/4), Barenboim (7/2), Hatysa (4/1), Appier (13/2), Arc Zoosve (10/1), Bashful Boy (12/1), Royal Deeside (12/1), Call My Bluff (25/1), Vaguely Royal (25/1), Fleurman (50/1)

Verdict

HATYSA won twice at this track as a 3-y-o and should come on for her recent Newcastle third following a five-month break. She's fancied to resume winning ways, though has a handful of fellow in-form types in opposition, with Barenboim and Tarbat Ness also arriving in good heart.
