Four-time winner last year but off since beating only one in 1m handicap (8/1) at Newcastle in November. Sort to bounce back.

16/1

Debut winner in May 2019, Unable to add to tally since, though respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Newmarket (7f) 6 months ago. No forlorn hope off a slipping mark.

Dirty Rascal¹⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: M Crehan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 80| D

4/1

Fairly useful 7f performer for Tom Ward last season. Has dropped to an attractive mark so rates an interesting contender for his in-form new yard. Well worth a market check.

Red Poppy²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: C Fellowes| OR: 79

8/1

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Mrs L Stubbs| OR: 78| D

12/1

Ended his time with Richard Hughes with career-best win at Chelmsford (1m) in October. Encouraging fifth on only second run for new yard at Newcastle (7f) earlier in the month so needs considering.

Form: 1531-85

Seas Of Elzaam¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S A Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78| D

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78| D

28/1

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 77| DWS

25/1

Russian Virtue²³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Spencer| T: D Menuisier| OR: 77

9/1

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who hinted at promise first two runs but failed to build on it when fourth of 10 in 7f maiden at Clairefontaine 7 months ago. Not written off now handicapping for good yard.

(20)

The Great Heir²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Barry McHugh| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 75| CD

Ugo Gregory^b,t¹⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| D

14/1

Dual 7f winner at Ayr last autumn who largely ran well after off a much higher mark. Sort to do well again this season so he needs considering.

Asmund¹⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 68

Photograph¹⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: T Eaves| T: D Carroll| OR: 68

150/1

Has failed to go on since promising 2-y-o debut, only thirteenth of 14 in 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford City on final run for Richard Hannon. Tough ask on return for new handler.

Eligible⁴⁹

10/1

Forecasts

Dirty Rascal (4/1), Red Poppy (8/1), Chookie Dunedin (17/2), Russian Virtue (9/1), Eligible (10/1), Skontonovski (10/1), Blackcastle Storm (10/1), Old News (12/1), Mossbawn (12/1), Tahitian Prince (14/1), Ugo Gregory (14/1), Fancy Footings (14/1), Dancinginthewoods (16/1), Dulas (16/1), The Great Heir (18/1), Love Destiny (20/1), Seas Of Elzaam (25/1), King Of Tonga (25/1), Cassy O (28/1), Song of The Isles (28/1), Asmund (50/1), Photograph (150/1)

Lots with chances in a very open handicap but DIRTY RASCAL has slipped to a very good mark and is worth siding with on his first run for the promising George Boughey, especially if the market speaks in his favour. Richard Hannon has his string in good nick so Tahitian Prince needs considering too, with handicap-debutant Russian Virtue another who warrants plenty of respect for his shrewd handler.
