Tacarib Bay^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 98| D

7/1

Winner of a listed race at Newcastle (6f) in November. Largely below par since the turn of the year but recent close call at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) was much more like it and he has posted several good efforts off higher marks than this here in the past. One to consider.

Rohaan^v³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: T P Queally| T: P D Evans| OR: 96| CD

9/4

Smart sprinter who added to his good record here when taking a 6f handicap last autumn. Hasn't hit the same heights this season but there were more positive signs in the first-time visor (retained) at Goodwood last time and he's slipped to a potentially very handy mark.

Bosh³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 94| D

12/1

Doubled tally for the year at Lingfield in March and just about better than ever when runner-up at Chester in June, keeping on really well. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton last time but others make more appeal for win purposes all the same.

Fresh^t⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 93| CD

10/3

A frequent visitor to Ascot over the years and while he's probably not quite as good as he once was, his mark reflects that and he was placed twice in handicaps over 6f/7f in July. Versatile ground-wise and it's not hard to envisage this 7-y-o playing a leading role.

The Green Man³⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: J Parr| OR: 91| D

40/1

Enjoyed a solid 2023 campaign, winning twice and placed on several occasions, including in a valuable 6f York handicap last summer. On a workable mark for this belated seasonal reappearance but this is a big ask on the back of an 11-month absence.

Two Tribes^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: R Spencer| OR: 90

3/1

Likeable sort who typically gave his running when fourth in a valuable, big-field York handicap (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago. Probably doesn't hold any secrets from the handicapper but should give it a good shot nonetheless. Proven on good to soft (unraced on slower).

Be Frank⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: David Probert| T: Ian Williams| OR: 79| D

7/1

Dual 6f winner who shaped well in some strong early-season handicaps on turf for Henry Candy. Changed hands for 56,000 gns in July but safely held on AW debut for new connections at Southwell recently. Opposable.

Forecasts

Rohaan (9/4), Two Tribes (3/1), Fresh (10/3), Tacarib Bay (7/1), Be Frank (7/1), Buccabay (8/1), Bosh (12/1), Rock Opera (12/1), The Green Man (40/1)

There were positives to glean from ROHAAN's latest effort at Goodwood and, now 6 lb lower in the weights compared to when notching a fifth C&D success last October, he may well be the answer. Fellow course regular Fresh is likely to offer stern resistance on the back of solid placed efforts here the last twice. James Fanshawe's charge is feared most ahead of Tacarib Bay and Two Tribes.
