Tadreeb³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 85| C

5/1

Course winner. After 14 months off, showed that he retains his ability when fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 50/1) 35 days ago. Merits consideration back down in grade.

Enthused¹⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 84

33/1

Fairly useful on the Flat back in 2022. Enjoyed a productive season over hurdles for current yard, winning 5 times, but pulled up in Sharp Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham in October. Interesting returned to this sphere.

Arthur's Realm¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 84| D

5/2

Seventeen runs since last win in 2022, but he ran well after 5 months off when third of 18 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, heavy, 17/2) 13 days ago. Can make his presence felt from his current mark.

Form:

(8)

Shockwaves²³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: H Morrison| OR: 83| CD

6/1

Scored in good style at this C&D last May but didn't go on from that effort, reported to have bled when last of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 25/1) in August. Needs to get back on track after 7 months off.

Form:

(2)

City Of York^h¹⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 82| D

5/1

Completed hat-trick last season when winning at Newbury in September. Below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, heavy, 7/1) on final outing, but no surprise to see him resume his progress on his return.

Form:

(7)

Hiromichi^p¹⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Charles Bishop| T: J Channon| OR: 77| CD

17/2

Three wins from 11 runs last year, including at this C&D. Did too much too soon when ninth of 17 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, heavy, 13/2) when last seen in November. Capable of playing a part if ready to go after 5 months off.

Form:

(5)

Charencey⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: David Egan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 69

10/3

Successful at Newcastle in November. In first-time tongue strap, not discredited when fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 40/1) 47 days ago. Needs to step forward on this year's form, but he is back down to his winning mark.

Form:

We'renotreallyhere¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: George Rooke| T: D Steele| OR: 62

200/1

After 6 months off, again ran poorly on first start since leaving John Quinn when last of 9 in handicap (40/1) at this course (7f, AW) 2 weeks ago. Has enough to prove at present.

Forecasts

Arthur's Realm (5/2), Charencey (10/3), City Of York (5/1), Tadreeb (5/1), Shockwaves (6/1), Hiromichi (17/2), Enthused (33/1), We'renotreallyhere (200/1)

CITY OF YORK ended last season with a below-par effort at Newmarket, but he had been progressive prior to that and he is taken to get back on the up on his reappearance. The 4-y-o can get the better of Arthur's Realm, who made an encouraging return when third at Doncaster, while Tadreeb could also go well back down in grade.
