Career best when making all in 1m Lingfield handicap in January. Just respectable efforts in defeat both starts since, though faced a stiff task at Newcastle latest.

Good Birthday^v¹⁶

5/1

Landed Zetland Gold Cup last May and took another good pot at Doncaster (10.2f) in July. Ended campaign with a solid third in a class 2 York handicap (10.2f) and should prove all the better for Ascot return.

Form: 91003-6

March Law³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: David Egan| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 92

Prydwen²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: George Scott| OR: 88| D

11/4

Made it 3-3 in handicaps with something to spare at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and 8 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the 4-timer with further improvement likely.

Form: 8441-11

Pisanello¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: N Callan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 83

10/3

Won 10-runner handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm, 22/1) on return, leading late having suffered some interference. Good third at Thirsk since and should go well again off same mark.

Form: 0650-13

(5)

Bad Company^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 82| D

3/1

Bagged a win at Sandown last summer and ended 2021 with a good second at Newmarket. Respectable return at Lingfield but failed to build on that at Epsom since.

Form: 4152-64

Forecasts

Prydwen (11/4), Bad Company (3/1), Pisanello (10/3), Good Birthday (5/1), Imperial Sands (13/2), March Law (16/1)

PRYDWEN took his form to another level when completing the hat-trick with something to spare at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and should make a bold bid for the 4-timer. Pisanello has made a positive start to the season and still has scope off this mark given his French form.
