17/2

Started his career in a positive fashion but has struggled since, including last of 11 at Chelmsford (6f) when last seen in October. Would need to see market support to consider.

Cargin Bhui^b1⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: T D Barron| OR: 80| BF| C

10/3

Course winner. Good second of 9 in handicap (5/2) at Southwell (6f) on reappearance 8 days ago. Blinkers on first time. Not taken lightly.

Form: 25723-2

Forecasts

Cargin Bhui (10/3), Silky Wilkie (5/1), Knebworth (6/1), Habooba (6/1), Monsieur Beaulieu (8/1), Sir Les Patterson (17/2), Probe (11/1), Twilight Romance (12/1), Brooklyn Nine Nine (16/1), Grant Wood (20/1)

CARGIN BHUI is well drawn and gets the nod to build on a promising return to action at Southwell last week with blinkers enlisted now. Silky Wilkie bounced back to form when second at Lingfield recently and is feared most ahead of the reappearing Knebworth, who started 2024 with a second place in this race.
