(1)

Tasman Bay³²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: David Probert| T: Sir M Todd| OR: 96

17/2

Smart at 3 yrs but lost his way following season and only thirteenth of 15 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm) on sole start in 2023 for William Haggas. Off 10 months. Re-joined Sir Mark Todd.

Form: 33058/0-

(2)

City Streak²⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A M Balding| OR: 91| D

4/1

Two wins from 6 runs last year. Too bad to be true when last of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, good to soft, 9/2). Off 6 months. Worth another chance.

Form: 312519-

Champagne Piaff⁹¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: G & J Moore| OR: 89| D

7/1

Progressed into a useful handicapper at 3 yrs, winning at Windsor and Epsom. Not seen for 30 months, however, and market should reveal expectations.

Form: 861314/

(5)

Winter Reprise^h⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A King| OR: 87| D

14/1

Flopped making his hurdling debut 6 weeks ago, possibly amiss to shape as he did some 18 months since signing off a useful Flat career for David Menuisier. Bit to prove back on the level.

Form: 8P2043/

(7)

Bet Me^h1²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 87

11/2

Has made a promising enough start for a new yard, better for return when creditable third of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Kempton (8f) 25 days ago. Up in trip. Hood on 1st time.

Form: 7/312-63

(4)

Swiss Money²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: H Dickin| OR: 82| D

33/1

Eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 33/1) on UK flat debut 23 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Anthony Charlton.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 78| D

11/8

Two wins from 6 runs last year. 13/8, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Kempton (8f), readily. Off 139 days. Back up in trip. Remains of strong interest.

Age: 7| Weight: 8-4| J: George Rooke| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 75| D

33/1

Forecasts

Miss Dolly Rocker (11/8), City Streak (4/1), Bet Me (11/2), Champagne Piaff (7/1), Tasman Bay (17/2), Winter Reprise (14/1), Swiss Money (33/1), Adrian (33/1)

MISS DOLLY ROCKER ended last year with a ready win at Kempton in November and that form looks solid. She's run well at this track before and can defy a 5 lb rise. City Streak's final start last season is best forgiven given his positive profile so he may emerge as the main threat, though the one-time smart Tasman Bay has been given a chance by the handicapper back with his former yard.
