4/1

Newcastle scorer last summer who has largely continued in good nick, resuming winning ways in the stewards' room at Newmarket 15 days ago (second past post). Up in trip and will continue to run well.

Form: 33-3631

Labeebb^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 89| D

10/3

Won novice/handicap over this trip on turf last summer. Has the profile of one that could go on again this year but just respectable efforts so far this term.

Form: D113-35

(5)

Doubling Dice^t²³²

4/1

Bolted up in a soft-ground Hamilton novice in September and followed up on C&D handicap bow. Well held in the Old Rowley Cup at Newmarket on final outing but retains potential. Has had a wind op.

Form: 0/4110-

Quickthorn³¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Morrison| OR: 84

3/1

Looked a strong stayer in the making when opening account in 11f Kempton maiden on reappearance in 2020. Progressed again when third over 1½m there next time and still has plenty of potential.

Form: 96/13-

Mark Of Gold¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Hannon| OR: 82| C

13/2

Progressive colt who signed off last term with successes in 1m2f handicaps at Bath and here (soft) in the autumn. Shaped as if needing the run on reappearance at York and may yet do better.

Form: 34211-0

Midrarr^t1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 80| D

9/1

Off the mark in 12.3f Chester novice in August. However, ended last season tamely and fared no better on return at Doncaster a fortnight ago. Tongue tie goes on and has something to prove at present.

Form: 63120-7

Forecasts

Quickthorn (3/1), Labeebb (10/3), Master The Stars (4/1), Doubling Dice (4/1), Mark Of Gold (13/2), Midrarr (9/1)

QUICKTHORN looked a stayer very much on the up in a pair of AW events last summer and, with the form looking strong, he's taken to make another winning reappearance. Master The Stars will continue to give a good account, with Mark of Gold another to consider with his reappearance under his belt.
