Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: David Probert| T: T Ward| OR: 91| D

5/1

Improved to win pair of Sandown handicaps at up to 1m last summer. Off 7 months and 18/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Should strip fitter for that.

Form: 18170-4

Tahitian Prince^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 89| D

9/1

Enjoyed a very productive 2021, winning 4 times. Off 7 months, seventh of 9 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to firm, 9/2) 19 days ago. Should be much closer to form here and worth considering.

Form: 11215-7

Raajil²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 86

11/4

Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Off 11 weeks, fifth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 8/1) 28 days ago, not ideally placed. Down in class back on turf and could do better.

Form: 3/1-15

Colour Image^t²⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 85| D

11/2

Won small-field Bath novice back from 7 months away in September 2020. Last year was a bit of a write-off but interesting to see top connections persevering and fresh could be the time to catch him.

Danville^p1³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 76

7/2

Made all when landing the odds over further at Epsom in September. Off 6 months, below form ninth of 20 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good, 11/2) 30 days ago, not knocked about. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 4/6216-9

Love Dreams⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Blake| OR: 76| CD

4/1

7/2, won 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 42 days ago. 3 lb rise probably enough to anchor him back up in grade.

Form: 724-371

Forecasts

Raajil (11/4), Danville (7/2), Love Dreams (4/1), Farasi Lane (5/1), Colour Image (11/2), Tahitian Prince (9/1)

Godolphin have persevered with COLOUR IMAGE and his profile suggests that first time up could be the time to catch him. If he retains ability a big run might be on the cards for his in-form handler. Tahitian Prince looks a danger, with Raajil another to note.
