Selected odds by:

(4)

Bugle Major⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: R Hughes| OR: 99| D

5/1

Useful and consistent sort in France who has been picked up for 90,000 gns since a good second at Chantilly 81 days ago. Could have been let in lightly from a mark of 99.

Form: 2823-12

(3)

Lucander²⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 98| BF| D

13/8

Scored at York last August and largely good efforts in defeat subsequently. Went well fresh in 2020, so worth considering back from 6 months off.

Form: 391283-

(6)

Lunar Jet¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: J Mackie| OR: 93| CD

9/2

In fine fettle in late 2020, completing a hat-trick at Redcar (10f) in November. Back to form with reappearance behind him when fourth at Chester last time but mark sums him up.

Form: 7111-04

(1)

Man Of The Night¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 91

15/2

Recorded very useful effort when second in strong C&D handicap on final 3-y-o run. Has been unable to make a significant impact in some good contests this year but mark is sliding.

Form: 42-8065

(7)

Al Madhar^b1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 89| D

8/1

Landed first 2 starts 11 month apart but progress stalled thereafter. Not disgraced on first 2 outings this term and blinkers might spark him up a touch.

Form: 1655-54

(2)

Jean Baptiste^p1⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: G Boughey| OR: 83| BF

6/1

Signed off for 2020 with 7f Chelmsford City win and in good nick this term, respectable second at Ripon 6 days ago. Should give another good account in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 422522

Forecasts

Lucander (13/8), Lunar Jet (9/2), Bugle Major (5/1), Jean Baptiste (6/1), Man Of The Night (15/2), Al Madhar (8/1), Kryptos (12/1)

BUGLE MAJOR consistently ran to a useful level in France and has joined a shrewd British outfit so, if the market speaks in his favour, he could be up to defying a seemingly lenient mark of 99. In-form Jean Baptiste is an obvious player and Lucander is the type to make a better 4yo, so he's one to consider on reappearance.
