Selected odds by:
Second in a turf bumper in the autumn and has taken very well to AW Flat this year, winning 1m Newcastle novice before proving well suited by the step up to 1¾m when making a successful handicap debut at Southwell last month. 6 lb rise looks manageable for a 4-y-o who should have more to offer.
|
Out of sorts at the end of last summer but he's capable of useful form at his best and has dropped to a favourable mark if reviving after an 8-month break. One to note in the betting.
|
Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 40/1, good second of 15 in handicap at Ayr Western meeting (13f, good) when last seen in September. One of 2 runners for last year's winning stable.
|
Successful over C&D last August and just as good when placed at Redcar and Pontefract on final 2 outings last year. Has gone well fresh before. Not discounted.
|
Three wins last year, including on reappearance. Trainer tends to target this series so no surprise to see her go well back from 6 months off.
|
Didn't make the anticipated progress after maiden/novice wins at the start of last summer but he's fairly unexposed over 1½m and there's still time for him to get back on the up. Also capable when fresh.
|
Won 11f Southwell novice in February and creditable 1¼ lengths third in handicap at Newcastle (12.5f) the following month. Faded to finish down the field in a warm race at Lingfield on Good Friday but he remains unexposed after only 7 starts, particularly on turf. Cheekpieces on first time.
|
Now 2 lb lower than when scoring over this trip at Brighton last summer. Arrives fit from AW and this largely consistent sort is capable of bouncing back from a below-par effort at Lingfield on Good Friday.
|
Fair juvenile hurdler for this yard. No match for a smart prospect in novice company at Wolverhampton on his return to the Flat 3 weeks ago but much more realistic chance back in a handicap. One to consider.
|
Gained second success of last season over 2m at Nottingham in August. Exploits mixed next 3 starts but better for his reappearance run when third at Bath (11.5f) 23 days ago. Entitled to be reaching peak fitness now but this is a tougher assignment.
|
Winner over this trip at Newbury last summer for Ian Williams. Faded into sixth on Kempton hurdle and stable debut over Christmas and not seen since. Has had wind surgery since (also tongue tied first time).
|
Opened her account at Hamilton (11f) in September. Not disgraced from out of the handicap in York Class 2 on final start. Unexposed around this trip and could have more to offer in 2023.
|
Course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (1m, good to soft) on reappearance 22 days ago. Step back up in trip should suit but others are still preferred.
|
Struggled over hurdles this winter but made a promising return to the Flat after wind surgery when second of 8 at Chelmsford (1¼m) 17 days ago, keeping on from further back than ideal. Interesting now back up in trip.

Forecasts
Dark Mystery (7/1), Notimeforanother (15/2), Muzaffar (15/2), Knightswood (8/1), Arrange (9/1), Active Duty (9/1), Fairmac (11/1), Ravenscraig Castle (11/1), A La Francaise (11/1), Alpine Stroll (11/1), Heights Of Abraham (11/1), Angels Landing (14/1), Real Terms (18/1), Glasses Up (28/1)
Another very competitive handicap. NOTIMEFORANOTHER's Market Rasen bumper third last autumn suggests he should be at home now tackling turf for the first time on the Flat and he's selected to make light of a 6 lb rise for his convincing Southwell success and provide Keith Dalgleish with back-to-back wins in this race. Active Duty, who was placed off a higher mark on the Flat in Ireland, and Angels Landing head the many dangers.
- Notimeforanother15/2
- Active Duty9/1
- Angels Landing14/1
