5/6

Promising ex-Irish gelding who was much improved when landing big gamble in 7-runner handicap at Ripon (1m) 8 days ago. Scored easily there so big shout despite 8 lb hike.

Form: 58-61

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

8/1

Gelded/off 6 months before coming in sixth of 7 in handicap over C&D 22 days ago, fading late on. Could still do better with that run under his belt.

Form: 535-6

Ice Cube¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer| OR: 64| BF

4/1

Shaped encouragingly after 7 months off when third of 9 in handicap at Redcar (1m) 16 days ago, doing too much too soon. Capable of better so he's very much one to consider.

Form: 057-3

(11)

Red Rifle¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: O McSweeney| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 64

50/1

Looked rusty after 7 months off when fifth of 6 in handicap at Redcar (1¼m) 16 days ago. Back down in trip. Should go forward now.

Form: 0556-5

Balmoral Boy²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 63

50/1

Looks to be being brought along gradually, patiently ridden when last of 5 in 7f novice here 22 days ago. Could have more to offer now handicapping.

Form: 365

(14)

Crimson Sunset¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 63

7/1

Showcasing filly who has shaped with some promise on her 3 runs, fifth of 9 in maiden at Goodwood (1m) 14 days ago. Not out of things on her handicap debut.

Form: 4-45

15/2

Form: 7-57

(15)

New Objective¹⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: William Pyle| T: K Frost| OR: 57

40/1

Posted a solid third of 9 in nursery at Southwell (7f) in December on his final run for Jack Morland. No forlorn hope for new yard after a break with the return to 1m a plus.

Form: 6902-

Forecasts

Masaban (5/6), Ice Cube (4/1), Crimson Sunset (7/1), Palace Artois (15/2), Tarmonbarry Kid (8/1), High Chieftain (12/1), Irish Incentive (25/1), Haltonwood (33/1), Raise The Stakes (33/1), Gloriola (33/1), Mayflower Billy (40/1), New Objective (40/1), Balmoral Boy (50/1), Red Rifle (50/1), Smartanck (66/1), Princess Coco (125/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and MASABAN is fancied to make light of an 8 lb rise for his easy Ripon victory and go 2-3 since joining Ed Bethell. Ice Cube made a promising start to life in handicaps when third at Redcar and is next on the list ahead of handicap debutants Crimson Sunset and Haltonwood.
