Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 102| D

13/2

Latest win at Chantilly (1m) in December. Visored for 1st time, 4½ lengths fourth of 5 to Bangkok in Winter Derby Trial (10f, listed) at Lingfield in February. Switch to handicaps rates a plus.

33/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2017. Tenth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) in February 2020, weakening 1f out. Market should prove the best guide on the back of another absence/wind operation.

Count Of Amazonia^t⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti| OR: 99| CD

11/10

Back-to-back C&D winner last year. 25/1, 2½ lengths ninth of 11 to D'bai in Zabeel Mile at Meydan (1m) 47 days ago. Profile for this yard is a positive one and sound claims back in calmer waters.

Form: 011-279

The Gill Brothers^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: S C Williams| OR: 90| C| D

9/2

Course winner. 20/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 24 days ago, not ideally placed. Likely he has a bigger effort in him and not discounted.

Gloves Lynch^p⁴^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 8-3| J: Hayley Turner| T: M Wigham| OR: 79| CD

11/4

Improved on recent efforts to win 6-runner handicap (9/2) at this C&D 4 days ago, well positioned. Going through a good spell and he's respected under a penalty.

Forecasts

Count Of Amazonia (11/10), Gloves Lynch (11/4), The Gill Brothers (9/2), Vintager (13/2), Librisa Breeze (33/1)

COUNT OF AMAZONIA arrives on the back of a pair of creditable displays in Meydan, not beaten far in the Group 2 Zabeel Mile on his latest outing in February. Boasting a positive record on all weather (2-2 here) he's fancied to come out on top once more. Gloves Lynch and The Gill Brothers may be the pair to give him most to think about.
