Win O'Clock³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: James Doyle| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 103| D

20/1

Smart handicapper who had a productive 2020, winning 5 times. Scope for better this term and respectable reappearance in listed event at Newmarket should have blown the cobwebs off.

Form: 12211-5

Ilaraab²¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 102| C

7/2

Vastly progressive in 2020, again showing a cracking attitude when making it 5 wins on the spin at this course 7 months ago. Likely to get this longer trip, so he's an obvious player on return.

Form: 711111-

My Frankel³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 101| D

6/1

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who got back on the up when scoring cosily at Kempton on reappearance. Group performer in the making, so worth chancing to take this before moving up further in grade.

Form: 7/110-1

(14)

Raymond Tusk³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 99| D

40/1

Useful middle-distance stayer who looked back in form when third in a listed event at Newmarket on just second outing for current stable. Vulnerable to less-exposed sorts.

Form: 627-623

(4)

Throne Hall²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: K A Ryan| OR: 98| BF

7/1

Improving sort who posted career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Doncaster on reappearance. Creditable second at Thirsk since and another solid showing is expected.

Form: 3/12-12

(12)

Rhythmic Intent¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S C Williams| OR: 96| C| D

12/1

Scored at York and Newbury last term and signed off with good second of 23 in November Handicap at Doncaster (1m4f). Likely to strip fitter for his return at Chelmsford, so can't be dismissed.

Form: 14472-6

(10)

Sam Cooke¹⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 94| C| D

6/1

Lightly raced and still seemed to be going the right way in the first half of last season. Disappointing at Wolverhampton when last seen but 5-month break might have freshened him up.

Form: 11/5203-

(8)

Taqareer³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 93| BF

6/1

Promising type who, although runner-up on both outings this term (including to My Frankel at Kempton latest), may well have a bigger effort in him. Well-run race should play to his strengths.

Form: 215-22

(5)

Strait Of Hormuz²¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 93

12/1

Scored twice for this yard last term and final outing was easily excusable. Could find further progress this term but this is a big ask returning from 7 months off.

Form: 1/15219-

(3)

Dubai Souq^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 90| BF

50/1

Seemingly hard to train since 2019 and, although not disgraced in form terms at Musselburgh last time, his finishing effort was rather weak. Others are more appealing.

Form: 151/4-03

(15)

Labeebb^t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: W Buick| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 89| BF| D

22/1

Won novice/handicap over this trip on turf last summer and also good third at Ascot in September. Respectable third on Wolverhampton reappearance 18 days ago. May come on for the run, so considered.

Form: 3D113-3

(16)

Luigi Vampa^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Watson| T: D Menuisier| OR: 89

25/1

Useful handicapper who broke more efficiently when scoring at Windsor in first-time tongue tie on reappearance. Can remain competitive provided he continues to avoid the slow starts.

Form: 5U475-1

(13)

Glasses Up¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: P Mathers| T: R M Smith| OR: 88

80/1

Scored three times at Ayr last year, but also shaped well at this track and recent narrow second (of 3) suggests he's returned as good as ever this term.

Form: 4520-72

(11)

Maifalki⁶⁵⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 87| D

200/1

Useful at best but not seen for 21 months following an underwhelming spell for Jason Ward. Plenty to prove.

Form: 690037/

Mr Carpenter¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 83| CD

14/1

Scored on both visits to this course last year and should strip fitter for his creditable return at Newcastle. Sill not fully exposed, so there could be more to come.

Form: 0/1013-7

Forecasts

Ilaraab (7/2), Sam Cooke (6/1), My Frankel (6/1), Taqareer (6/1), Throne Hall (7/1), Shandoz (7/1), Strait Of Hormuz (12/1), Rhythmic Intent (12/1), Mr Carpenter (14/1), Win O'Clock (20/1), Labeebb (22/1), Luigi Vampa (25/1), Raymond Tusk (40/1), Dubai Souq (50/1), Glasses Up (80/1), Maifalki (200/1)

MY FRANKEL may well prove better than a handicapper so, despite a 7 lb rise for his cosy defeat of Taqareer at Kempton last time, he's fancied to go in again at the likely expense of Ilaraab, who was ultra-progressive last year. Throne Hall is another one to consider.
