Ashky³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: James Doyle| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 87| CD

11/2

Successful 3 times last season, including C&D. Raced on unfavoured side when well held on C&D reappearance a month ago and no surprise were he to leave that run well behind.

Form: 11313-0

Million Thanks^t⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: K P De Foy| OR: 85| D

10/3

Couple of good runner-up efforts over 1m at Lingfield this spring but needs to shrug off a lesser run at Lingfield over Easter. Turf winner for previous yard.

Form: 5-59220

(8)

Tarbaan^t¹¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 81| CD

15/2

C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford in December. 9/1, respectable fourth of 12 at Lingfield when last seen in January. One to consider back on turf.

Form: 93514-4

(2)

Fantasy Believer¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 81| D

12/1

25/1, respectable eighth of 15 in handicap at Ascot (1m, good) 16 days ago. Below his last winning mark and could make more of an impact in this lower grade.

Form: 959-988

(7)

Repertoire¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 80| D

11/2

Respectable seventh of 15 in handicap at Ascot (1m) on reappearance 16 days ago. Merits plenty of respect with Jamie Spencer taking over from an inexperienced 7 lb claimer now.

Form: 49837-7

(4)

Shigar²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 80

11/2

5/1, below form fifth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (1m, heavy) on reappearance 20 days ago but interesting that his top stable have stuck with him at 4 and he retains potential.

Form: 34/412-5

(10)

Canoodled¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: E Walker| OR: 80| CD

7/1

C&D winner on final 2022 start. Looked rusty when last of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 9/1) on reappearance 17 days ago. Should strip fitter now.

Form: 34541-6

(1)

Hiromichi¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: J Channon| OR: 75| D

6/1

Good strike-rate since last August, gaining a fifth win in his last 9 starts when seeing off 6 rivals at Bath (1m, soft) 18 days ago. Yet another who has to enter the reckoning.

Form: 13-7121

(6)

Dubai Immo¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: F Norton| T: S C Williams| OR: 66

100/1

Remains a maiden after 17 starts and down the field on both starts since joining this yard.

Form: 32-2809

Forecasts

Million Thanks (10/3), Repertoire (11/2), Shigar (11/2), Ashky (11/2), Hiromichi (6/1), Canoodled (7/1), Tarbaan (15/2), Fantasy Believer (12/1), Island Bandit (14/1), Dubai Immo (100/1)

It's possible deep ground didn't suit SHIGAR on his reappearance and he's given another chance to show he's a lightly-raced handicapper heading in the right direction. Repertoire is back on the mark he defied at Ascot last spring and is feared most ahead of Tarbaan and Ashky.
