Hurricane Ivor²¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 110| BF| D

10/1

Real improver for current yard in 2021, landing the Portland at Doncaster before following up in Group 3 company at Newbury. Sort to go on again this season, so he's a player.

Form: 203118-

Arecibo²⁰⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: J P Spencer| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 105| CD

16/1

Has been transformed from frustrating handicapper to Group-1 placed (2nd in King's Stand) in 2021 for new connections. C&D winner who is much respected on his seasonal return.

Atalis Bay²²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 103| D

20/1

Largely progressive sprinter in 2021 for Marco Botti who made all in listed Scurry Stakes at Sandown (5f) in June. Needs considering on his reappearance/yard bow.

Form: 121937-

(7)

Came From The Dark³⁰¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: E Walker| OR: 108| D

6/1

Made up into a smart sprinter last term but off the track after landing Sprint Stakes at Sandown (5f) by neck from Arecibo in July. Has the form to play a big part if fully tuned up after his absence.

Form: 07/3121-

(5)

Existent^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 101| C| D

25/1

Course winner but he came in only fair sixth of 8 to Double Or Bubble in Abernant Stakes here 17 days ago. May still do better back at 5f, so not discounted.

Form: 36-1156

(1)

Khaadem^b⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: C Hills| OR: 106| D

7/1

Smart gelding. Only eighth of 9 to Lazuli in Group 2 at Meydan in February though, so he needs to bounce back after his break.

Form: 4518-38

(9)

Mondammej^h¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 102| D

16/1

Yet to add to his four 2021 wins this term but he posted good seventh of 14 in conditions event at Newcastle (6f) 15 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 1-25237

(10)

Saint Lawrence²⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: R Varian| OR: 101

11/1

Useful colt. Off 8 months since coming in last of 3 in minor event at Salisbury (6f) however, so he has a bit to prove on his comeback.

Form: 63/2293-

(3)

Tis Marvellous^t²¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 113| D

10/1

Likeable sort who signed off for 2021 with stylish success in 5f listed race at Ascot in October. Merits consideration on his seasonal return.

Form: 431131-

(12)

Twilight Calls¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: H Candy| OR: 100| CD

3/1

Low-mileage sprinter who returned from 8 months off/gelded with career-best win in handicap over C&D 16 days ago. Has more to offer, and he shouldn't be underestimated in this higher grade.

Form: 12146-1

(11)

Whenthedealinsdone^p²³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: N Callan| T: R A Teal| OR: 99| D

18/1

Dual 5f handicap winner last summer after being gelded. Not disgraced when fifth of 16 to Hurricane Ivor in Portland at Doncaster (5.6f) and not discounted on return with this shorter trip a plus.

Form: 716105-

(2)

Zarzyni^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: T D Barron| OR: 104| D

10/1

Smart gelding who arrives on the back of success in 5f handicap at Musselburgh 14 days ago when fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Consistent sort and no forlorn hope with headgear retained.

Form: 12-2221

Forecasts

Twilight Calls (3/1), Came From The Dark (6/1), Khaadem (7/1), Zarzyni (10/1), Tis Marvellous (10/1), Hurricane Ivor (10/1), Saint Lawrence (11/1), Arecibo (16/1), Mondammej (16/1), Whenthedealinsdone (18/1), Atalis Bay (20/1), Existent (25/1)

A case can be made for a few of these, but HURRICANE IVOR made big strides in 2021 and is fancied to go in on his return before stepping up further in class. Came From The Dark rates a big threat on form for all his 10-month absence slightly tempers enthusiasm. Tis Marvellous, Arecibo and Twilight Calls all figure on the shortlist too in a very open Palace House.
