Modmin¹⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Dane O'Neill| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 81| D

11/5

Lightly-raced winner. Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, heavy, 3/1), needing stronger gallop. Off 161 days. Type to make a better 4yo, so very much one to consider.

Form: 4/2142-

Jean Baptiste¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: James Doyle| T: G Boughey| OR: 81

6/1

First run since leaving Sir Michael Stoute when creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 4/1) 14 days ago. Booking of Doyle a plus. One to keep on right side.

Mars Landing¹⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 78| BF

5/2

2/9, respectable second of 8 in minor event at Chelmsford City (8f). Off 162 days. Remains with potential if his temperament can be kept in check and he ran well on reappearance in 2020.

Rosa Gold¹⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Rae Guest| OR: 78| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 6 runs last year. 25/1, good fourth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to firm), well positioned. Off 6 months. Needs to do better still as a 4yo.

Cruyff Turn¹⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 77

14/1

11/4, last of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, heavy). Off 172 days. May progress again as a 4yo, though it's hard to know if he'll be fully tuned up for this return.

Form: 745127-

Top Class Angel¹⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Hector Crouch| T: P R Chamings| OR: 77| D

16/1

Two wins from 5 runs last year. First run since leaving Richard Hannon when 25/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f), suited by way race developed. Off 6 months.

Form: 4/33171-

(3)

Sword Beach¹⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 76| D

5/1

Eighth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy), doing too much too soon. Off 163 days. Returns on an appealing mark, so worth monitoring in the betting.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: A W Carroll| OR: 75| D

Forecasts

Modmin (11/5), Mars Landing (5/2), Sword Beach (5/1), Jean Baptiste (6/1), Croeso Cymraeg (6/1), Cruyff Turn (14/1), Rosa Gold (16/1), Top Class Angel (16/1), Poetic Force (22/1), Alibaba (25/1)

JEAN BAPTISTE never really kicked on as expected for Sir Michael Stoute but his first outing for George Boughey was a positive one, a strong-travelling fourth at Newcastle, so he takes preference over his former stablemate Mars Landing, with Modmin also on the shortlist.
