Off the mark for this yard at Thirsk (1m) in September and solid efforts in defeat from inflated mark thereafter, third of 20 in handicap at York (7.9f) in October. Not ruled out on return/AW debut.

3/1

One win from 3 runs last year. Not disgraced when third of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 58 days ago, that despite looking a little rusty on the back of 4 months off. However, mark looks about right.

Form: 20/125-3

7/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton (7f) in November. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 22/1) 38 days ago. Return to this venue rates a plus.

20/1

C&D winner. 50/1, first run since leaving Archie Watson when sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 13 days ago. Visor on 1st time but he may need further respite from the assessor.

Form: 21/213-6

Gloves Lynch^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: R Kingscote| T: M Wigham| OR: 79

9/2

Fifteen runs since last win in 2018. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Kempton (8f) 16 days ago, having run of race. Should remain competitive.

Form: 349-823

Forecasts

Khatm (2/1), Intrepidly (3/1), Gloves Lynch (9/2), Shelir (11/2), Papa Stour (7/1), Rhubarb Bikini (20/1)

KHATM continues to go from strength to strength on all-weather this year, adding another success to his tally at Wolverhampton on Tuesday. A versatile sort, he's fancied to produce another bold bid under a penalty. Gloves Lynch and Papa Stour head up the dangers.
