Masaban⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: K Stott| T: E Bethell| OR: 68| D

13/8

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

(7)

Irish Incentive²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 65

25/1

Fair maiden. Cheekpieces on when a below-par sixth of 9 in maiden at Southwell (7f) 23 days ago. Goes handicapping on first run on turf since shaping well on debut last autumn.

Form: 5-8256

Mayflower Billy²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 65

33/1

80/1, last of 8 in maiden at Beverley (1¼m) 23 days ago. Makes handicap debut with plenty to find at these weights.

Form: 0-48

(9)

Smartanck^t³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 65| D

12/1

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

(5)

Ice Cube¹⁶

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

7/2

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

25/1

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

(13)

Balmoral Boy²²

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

20/1

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

5/1

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

(2)

High Chieftain^p1⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 61

10/1

Fair maiden. Failed to progress on his handicap debut when fourth of 5 at Wolverhampton 78 days ago. More is needed on turf debut. Cheekpieces added.

Form: 82-44

(6)

Haltonwood^t1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jonny Peate| T: I Furtado| OR: 59

33/1

Had worst of draw when ninth of 14 in maiden at Thirsk (7f) 28 days ago. Tongue strap goes on for handicap debut and may still do better.

Form: 549

(8)

Palace Artois^b²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Egan| T: W J Haggas| OR: 59

15/2

Blinkered for 1st time when seventh of 12 in novice at Nottingham (1m) 28 days ago. In good hands but more is required on her handicap debut.

Form: 7-57

(15)

New Objective¹⁵⁵

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

20/1

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-

(12)

(16)

Forecasts

Masaban (11/8), Ice Cube (9/2), New Objective (8/1), Palace Artois (10/1), High Chieftain (12/1), Crimson Sunset (14/1), Irish Incentive (14/1), Raise The Stakes (20/1), Balmoral Boy (20/1), Tarmonbarry Kid (20/1), Mayflower Billy (25/1), Haltonwood (25/1), Red Rifle (33/1), Gloriola (33/1), Smartanck (50/1), Princess Coco (100/1)

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.
