High-class handicap form in 2023 and rounded off that campaign with two good runs in Listed company; absent for 398 days before a low-key run at Newcastle 25 days ago; subsequent wind op (his fourth) suggests there was more to that than just needing the outing and cheekpieces are now added (worn once in 2020); chance if back to his best but a point to prove for now.

Very useful performer whose overall strike-rate is 7-21 (3-6 on AW); landed a major 1m2f handicap on turf (off 1lb lower) in 2023 and went close in Listed grade when last seen 13 months ago; market instructive on belated reappearance.

Just one win from 29 starts but he was useful in his younger days and he made a bold bid when a close third off a tumbling mark at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last Saturday; now makes his Tapeta debut but he's a big player if he can repeat that latest form.

All seven wins have been on good or slower ground on turf; last success was in 2023 but he's well treated on old form and made some late gains when sixth of 15 at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race and he could go well again on this step back up in trip.

40/1

Verdict

A trappy race as none of the runners ran particularly well last time. SATONO JAPAN did at least produce a positive performance the run before and, with Rhys Clutterbuck taking off 3lb, this is the lowest mark he’s ever raced off. Jean Baptiste is handicapped up to his best form but this track does suit his style. Revich also commands attention, for all that he will be into unknown territory some way from home.[Alistair Jones]
