THE TIMEFORM VIEW Tim Easterby has his string pretty well forward this season and ARGENTINE TANGO certainly exceeded market expectations when runner-up at Beverley a fortnight ago. That experience will stand her in good stead so she’s the percentage call over Champion Island and Sporting Light, who look the pick of the newcomers.

TIMEFORM VIEW Back-to-back winner of 5f handicaps last summer and enhanced his good record when fresh when second of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago, no match for a lightly raced sort. Claims returned to 5f from handy draw TFRHHHII BHA72
TFRHHHII BHA80
TIMEFORM VIEW It’s now twenty runs since last win in 2022 but he displayed more spark than on return when creditable third of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (6f) 20 days ago. Lurking on a handy mark with cheekpieces on 1st time and respected despite a tricky draw

TIMEFORM VIEW Fourwins from 23 runs last year 28/1, last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 81 days ago, weakening over 1f out having disputed the lead. Wouldn’t want to face too much competition on the front end here and others rate stronger. TFRHHHII BHA78

B Barouche Stud Ireland Ltd
TIMEFORMVIEW Fairly useful handicapper who is winless since his 2-y-o days but ended last term with creditable efforts on turf/AW for former stable. Starts out for new yard (sold 48,000 gns) who do well with such recruits and he’s one to note back from 6 months off TFRHHHHI BHA78

TIMEFORM VIEW Inconsistent sort failed to come on for a recent run when eighth of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 11 days ago, albeit not helped by making his challenge wide. Visor goes back on but he’s not one to be making too many excuses for. TFRHHIII BHA76
TIMEFORM VIEW Got off the mark in an uncompetitive maiden at Newcastle (5f) on final start in November. Unable to land a blow after 5 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (6f) 18 days ago but entitled to be sharper for the outing. Still, others preferred. TFRHHHII BHA72

B Rosemont Stud Pty Ltd William Hill S
TIMEFORM VIEW C&D winner who went close here on penultimate start and shaped as if still in good form when third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 9 days ago, not ideally placed. Big run could be on the cards with a visor refitted. TFRHHHHI BHA71

TIMEFORM VIEW Lightly-raced for his age and shaped as if retaining his ability after almost a year off when fifth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good) 21 days ago, fading final 1f. That was an encouraging enough display if able to build on it. TFRHHHII BHA67

THE TIMEFORM VIEW Plenty arrive with claims, with the narrow vote in favour of CLOUD KING. A dual 5f winner last season, he ought to be sharper for his run on all-weather at Southwell 6 weeks ago and, with cheekpieces enlisted, he could be ready to strike from his easing mark. Reigning Profit in a change of headgear and Hedge Fund on debut for Mick Appleby are others to consider Ingleby Archie is another worth a look.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW PRINCE ACHILLE made a promising return to action when second at Beverley a fortnight ago and given he’s won second-time-out the last 2 seasons, hopes are high that he can go one place better. Show Biz Kid was better than ever when winning at Yarmouth so he’s the obvious alternative, with Molinari likely to give it another good go

TIMEFORM VIEW Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 33/1, below form 9 1/4 lengths fifth of 10 to Molinari in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f). Off 173 days but has won fresh before and he lurks on a dangerous mark.

TIMEFORM VIEW Showed improved form on the back of a breathing op when off the mark in 12-runner maiden at Southwell (8.1f) 33 days ago, leading 3f out and quickening clear. There was plenty to like about that performance, but whether he’ll reproduce that form given his apparent fragility is open to doubt.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW ON THE RIVER is a likeable type who was beaten only by one who was allowed plenty of rope on his reappearance at Ripon and is a solid choice to go one better Partisan Hero is in a stronger handicap than for either of his 2 recent wins but is respected in his hat-trick bid all the same, with Leadenhall also of interest given he’s capable of going well fresh.
