14:00 My Brother Mike

MY BROTHER MIKE proved more tractable than he has been lately and bounced back to winning ways under an assured ride from Adam O’Shea at Southwell last month. That was his first success since a fruitful 2021 campaign, and he deserved extra credit for pegging one back who got first run, so can go well again under the same amateur. Sea of Charm and Luna Magic are a couple of the other likely players.

14:30 Cynosure

This doesn’t look the strongest race of its type and it looks a good opportunity for CYNOSURE. He showed fairly useful form when runner-up over this course and distance in November, bumping into a nice type from Ralph Beckett’s yard, and losing little in defeat. If he turns up in that sort of form he will likely take a bit of beating here. Winterfair, who won at Wolverhampton last time, looks the obvious danger under a penalty.

 

15:00 Jailbird

JAILBIRD finished nearer last than first on her first three starts, but she has shown more in two recent runs in handicaps, and now finds herself in the weakest race she has contested now. She also shaped as though she would relish this even longer trip at this course last time, so she looks the way to go for a yard amongst the winners, while she also has a capable apprentice now taking off 7 lb. Elforleather is another of the least exposed and along with Something To Do, heads up the dangers.

15:30 Mart

A three-time winner on the all-weather during the second half of last year, MART arrives having run well when second over course and distance 10 days ago, that despite not being seen to best effect, and he looks sure to go well again for a yard that continue to go along nicely. Western and Piz Nair both start their three-year-old campaigns having been gelded and could well emerge as the main dangers.

 

16:00 Target Man

George Boughey’s TARGET MAN appeals on pedigree so is fancied to go in at the first time of asking in what doesn’t look a strong race, most likely at the chief expense of Kuwaitya who rates a major threat on the back of her debut Newcastle second. Subsonictoshannon is another debutante who commands respect in a novice where the market will prove highly informative.

16:30 Victors Dream

VICTORS DREAM was placed twice over this course and distance last year and, having not been seen to best effect here on his latest outing, he was well backed and is taken to open his account this time around from a mark he is capable of winning races from. He can get the better of Wedgewood, who is respected as she drops back down in grade, with Suanni also capable of getting involved.

17:00 Ciara Pearl

CIARA PEARL made a promising start to her career last year, getting off the mark at this course before only narrowly denied under a penalty at Newcastle. An opening mark of 66 looks lenient on the face of it and she can make a winning return with the step up in trip likely to suit on her handicap debut. Belleplaine improved when runner-up on her stable and handicap debut last time and is feared most, ahead of Meleri.
