Tango Sunset¹⁹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 62

18/1

Good third of 9 in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) on final start of 2024, missing break. Ought to pick up a race in due course, but others look stronger on this occasion.

Form: 905583-

Onesteptwosteps¹⁷¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: N J Gifford| OR: 60

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Pulled up in handicap chase (15/2) here (16f, soft) 171 days ago (broke blood vessel). Latest effort in this sphere at Kempton last August was his best yet and wouldn't be without an each-way chance if able to build on that.

Form: 6005-

Sydney Seabreeze^p³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Sanderson| T: S Woods| OR: 59| BF

6/1

Fifth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 2/1) 30 days ago and this 9-race maiden will probably come up short once more.

Form: 5454-25

Blenheim Lad³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: C Poulton| OR: 57

8/1

50/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 38 days ago. Back-to-back Southwell winner during the autumn but efforts on polytrack have so far been rather underwhelming.

Form: 05115-7

Balgowan^p⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: T E Whelan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 55| D

11/4

4/1, didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 57 days ago. 2 lb nudge fair enough and should make his presence felt.

Form: 6-22421

(9)

Queensland Boy¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 54| D

5/2

Won 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f, 10/1) 10 days ago. Escapes a penalty for that clear-cut victory (due to go up 8 lb) and will prove very hard to beat.

Form: 59006-1

Kevano Breeze⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: William Carson| T: M Madgwick| OR: 52

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. 300/1, eighth of 14 in maiden at Kempton (8f) 52 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip for this handicap debut.

Form: 878

(2)

Smith^v³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 52| CD

7/1

Seven-time C&D winner, the latest gained in December. 12/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 31 days ago and likely to be on the premises once again.

Form: 69561-2

Blonde Arrow¹⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: H Main| OR: 45

100/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap (80/1) at Southwell (16.5f). Off 6 months and she's readily passed over.

Form: 5967-

Forecasts

Queensland Boy (5/2), Balgowan (11/4), Sydney Seabreeze (6/1), Smith (7/1), Blenheim Lad (8/1), Kevano Breeze (12/1), Onesteptwosteps (12/1), Tango Sunset (18/1), Blonde Arrow (100/1)

It's hard to look beyond QUEENSLAND BOY, who did it very cosily when opening his all-weather account at Wolverhampton recently and, unpenalised for that, he is officially 8 lb ahead of the handicapper. Smith put in a good shift when runner-up off this mark back here last month and he is likely to give another good account. Likewise Balgowan, who deservedly gained a belated first career win at Southwell on his latest start and he scores highly in terms of consistency.
