Mount Athos⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: James Doyle| T: J Tate| OR: 105| BF| CD

6/5

3-time C&D winner, including in this event 12 months ago. Disappointing when an odds-on fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 92 days ago but no surprise to see him bounce back.

Form: 584125-

(2)

Rohaan²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: N Callan| T: P D Evans| OR: 104| CD

9/1

C&D winner who posted a good fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 14/1) 26 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 60710-5

(3)

Mostabshir^b¹⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 103| BF| C

5/2

Course winner who was gelded before recording a very good fifth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 144 days ago. Blinkers back on and looks to have more to offer. Player.

Mums Tipple¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 102| D

25/1

Smart gelding at his best but he came in last of 6 in listed race at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 11/1) 18 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 4000-86

(4)

Arabian Storm³²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 95| D

7/2

Lightly-raced winner in 2023 but not seen after a very good ¾-length third of 8 to Shouldvebeenaring in listed race at Newmarket (7f, good) in May. Much respected all the same on his return/handicap debut.

Form: 2/193-

(5)

Soar Above⁶⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 8-4| J: L Morris| T: J Butler| OR: 82| CD

40/1

3-time C&D winner and a good second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 60 days ago. It's now 16 runs since his last win in 2022 though.

Form: 47026-2

Forecasts

Mount Athos (6/5), Mostabshir (5/2), Arabian Storm (7/2), Rohaan (9/1), Mums Tipple (25/1), Soar Above (40/1)

None of these can be ruled out but the lightly-raced 4-y-o MOSTABSHIR appeals as a likely improver in 2024 so is taken to make a winning return on just his second handicap start. Last year's victor Mount Athos could emerge as the chief threat, although both Rohaan and Arabian Storm also need factoring into this useful handicap.
