(4)

Arecibo¹⁸⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 91| D

9/2

Countless creditable efforts in major sprint handicaps since latest success back in July 2019. Resumes for new yard on an attractive mark and needs considering with Oisin Murphy aboard.

Form: 442477-

(11)

Lipsink¹¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 91

28/1

Dual AW winner in France last year, but struggled both starts for new connections during the winter and yard saddles stronger candidates in Arecibo and Araifjan.

Form: 941486-

(8)

Illusionist¹⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 89| D

13/2

Bagged 5f Bath novice at 2 yrs and though winless since, he has posted several creditable efforts since, including when third of 20 at York in October. Each-way chance if read to roll.

Form: 828030-

Han Solo Berger^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: C F Wall| OR: 87| D

9/2

Productive 2020 campaign, successful 3 times, and has posted a couple of good efforts on the AW since returning to action last month. Edged back down to last winning mark and he's one to consider.

Form: 0015-53

Jack The Truth¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽⁷⁾| T: George Scott| OR: 87| D

33/1

Returned to form when narrowly prevailing at Chelmsford (5f) in February, a track which clearly suits him well (4-10 there). Latest effort can be excused, but looks vulnerable all the same.

Form: 3-39135

(10)

Rewaayat²³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 85| BF

5/2

Much-improved when landing a 6f Salisbury handicap by 7½ lengths last July. Tardy start proved costly back at 5f there on final start of 2020, and should go very close if breaking smartly this time.

Form: 53/1142-

(7)

Equitation^t⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 82

8/1

Rather in-and-out since latest success at Ascot in September 2019. More than capable off this sort of mark if he puts his best foot forward, but it's a big 'if'.

Form: 056-627

(5)

Invincible Larne³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Quinn| OR: 80| D

18/1

Has held his form very well indeed on the AW since returning from a break in October. However, has done all his winning at a lower level (and off lower marks) than this.

Form: 62-2134

(6)

Araifjan¹⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 73| BF

9/1

Both wins gained at Wolverhampton, the latest over 6f in November. Respectable fifth over that C&D last time, but a clear career-best is needed if he's to open his turf account here.

Form: 231365-

(3)

Secretinthepark^b¹⁴⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 8-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 72| C| D

28/1

Hard to catch right nowadays and while he went close off higher marks over this C&D and at Sandown last summer, others make more appeal.

Form: 060590-

(9)

Agent Shiftwell^p,t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Lorenzo Atzori⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 71| D

33/1

Winner at Sandown last July and responded well to first-time cheekpieces when a close third at Chelmsford on penultimate start. Best to ignore subsequent display there, but more needed all the same.

Form: 66-2837

Forecasts

Rewaayat (5/2), Arecibo (9/2), Han Solo Berger (9/2), Illusionist (13/2), Equitation (8/1), Araifjan (9/1), Invincible Larne (18/1), Secretinthepark (28/1), Lipsink (28/1), Agent Shiftwell (33/1), Jack The Truth (33/1)

Despite the fact that he's a 6-y-o, REWAAYAT still has low mileage and may well kick on again this year, having improved during a light 2020 campaign. It was the slow start and rain-softened ground which counted against him at Salisbury when last seen, not the drop to 5f, and he should prove a tough nut to crack if fully tuned-up. Han Solo Berger is second choice ahead of Arecibo.
