District 14 Cup (sponsored By Hive) Handicap

C&D winner, including in November. 2/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at this course (7f) 14 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.

C&D winner. One win from 3 runs last year. Eleventh of 15 in handicap at this course (7f, 13/2). Off 10 months. Others preferred.

20/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap at Meydan (8f) 34 days ago. Bit to prove at present.

Three wins from 9 runs last year. Bit below form second of 13 in handicap at Newbury (7f, heavy, 9/2), running on. Off 113 days. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Not bred for surface but interesting recruit for powerful trainer.

C&D winner. Latest win at Al Ain in December. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Meydan (9f, good) 6 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (7f, 33/1) 14 days ago. Not sure to build on that.

Latest win at Al Ain in November. Below form sixth of 11 in handicap there (9.9f) 21 days ago. Back down in trip. Merits consideration.

Respectable second of 7 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 7/2). Off 12 months. First run for yard after leaving David Loughnane. Bred for surface and one to watch in market.

C&D winner, latest in December. 7/2, fourth of 7 in handicap over C&D 28 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Sharjah (9.9f) 55 days ago. Back down in trip. Not ruled out if backing that up.
