Net World Sports Handicap

Successful 4 times during a busy 2022, culminating in success in London Stayers' Final at Kempton (2m) in December. Creditable efforts so far this year, finding only one too good at Newmarket recently, and another bold showing seems likely.

On a good mark based on his form for Ralph Beckett a couple of seasons back but struggled in 3 starts over hurdles for Alan King during the winter. Lifeless efforts for new yard back on the Flat in recent months and it's best to look elsewhere.

Multiple course winner who wasn't at his best (albeit poorly drawn) when only seventh on debut for current yard here 15 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Three wins already this year and did enough to think he's still in form when third at Doncaster last time. Others look better treated, though.

Knocking on the door late last season, finishing placed on each of his last 3 outings for Jedd O'Keeffe. Solid return for new yard when second at Thirsk 3 weeks ago and should remain competitive with cheekpieces retained.

Fairly useful 2m4f winner over hurdles for Charlie Mann in 2020. Off 14 months before shaping encouragingly for his new yard when second in 2m Wolverhampton handicap but returned from another lengthy absence with a sub-par showing at Goodwood 3 weeks ago. May strip fitter for that.

Prolific on the level last year, bagging fifth win from 7 starts at Pontefract (17f) in September. Poor effort on return over hurdles, though, and failed to beat a rival at Chelmsford 44 days ago

Consistent sort who scored at Doncaster (1m2f) in October. Back on track when runner-up at Nottingham a fortnight ago and he's on a fair mark.
