Bang in form on the AW before going off too fast when made favourite for his turf debut in a 6f handicap at Ripon; remains of interest and looks sharp enough for 5f; gelded since.

Arishkas Dream

9st 6lb

J: Oisin Orr

T: Daniel & Claire Kubler

Made the breakthrough at Wolverhampton (6f, maiden; 4-1) in February; has bettered that since (on RPRs) with narrow defeats at Lingfield and Newcastle; 2lb higher again, but possible he can stake a claim if proving as effective on turf (debut).

Arishkas Dream

9st 9lb

J: Jason Watson

T: Daniel & Claire Kubler

Off the mark in a Wolverhampton maiden (6f, Tapeta) last month, but probably put up an even better effort when beaten a head on handicap debut at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) last Saturday; already due another 2lb rise for that and much respected.

Promising runs for David Menuisier whom he left for 9,000gns; gelded ahead of stable debut at Wolverhampton where he was beaten 7l in a small field; may have needed that after a lengthy break and there are races in him.

Made the frame in three of his four starts on turf (5f/6f) for David Menuisier as a 2yo; changed hands for 9,000gns in October and makes his stable/handicap debut after seven months off having been gelded in the meantime; half-brother to a couple of AW winners and the market should be informative.

Showed plenty of speed, helping to set the pace, at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) and Yarmouth (5f, good) on first two starts; disappointing at Windsor (5f, good to firm) latest but he's the one to beat judged on the Yarmouth second.

Ran in these colours for Karl Burke and was progressing when winning her AW maiden; her handicap debut back at Southwell was underwhelming given she went off favourite; probably better than that.

Ran green on her York debut (6f, good) in October, but more like it when third of eight at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) the following month; has shown plenty of speed in both starts so the drop to 5f should suit; off four months but still respected.

Off the mark in a 5f Lingfield novice (good) last May; reached the frame in a couple of handicaps since but she's been hard to predict and was last of seven in her final run (6f, AW) last year; record is now 1-11 and comes with risks attached on her return; visor worn last time is removed.

Changed stables last summer and it was an inauspicious start for this yard when last of nine in course nursery (good to firm) in August; subsequently gelded but again trailed the field at Bath (also 5f, firm) on his reappearance last month; plenty to prove on his first go at 6f.

3/1 Arishkas Dream, 7/1 Arctic Wind, 4/1 La Belle Forest, 8/1 Carefree Dream, 5/1 Tie Fighter, 9/2 Guernsey Lady, 25/1 Alkuwarrior, 9/1 Beach Partee

Verdict

Rain-softened ground will be a first but the now-gelded ARISHKA’S DREAM is still worth chancing as he had progressed well on the AW before going off too fast when favourite for his debut on turf. La Belle Forest is better than she showed in her first handicap, while Guernsey Lady should also make her presence felt.[Alistair Jones]
