|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (4)  (0.8/1 +12%)Moon D'Orange |
0.8/1(+12%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Moon D'Orange 0.8/1, Third sole start between the flags and shaped well when fourth in a big-field Leopardstown maiden hurdle (2½m, soft) on Rules debut in December. Likely to benefit from this step up in trip and he's a strong contender. Fourth in strong Leopardstown maiden on hurdle debut in December; the one to beat. |
|||
2nd (1)  (2.5/1 +0%)Artiste D'ainay |
2.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Artiste D'ainay 2.5/1, Fair hurdler who has finished in the money on each of his 5 start in this sphere at up to 19f. Doesn't look especially progressive but should have a big part to play if coping with this step up in trip. Placed on all five hurdling starts; tries a new trip today; likely contender. |
|||
3rd (2)  (4.5/1 +18%)Boomslang |
4.5/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Boomslang 4.5/1, Bettered maiden/novice form when hitting the crossbar on recent handicap debut second at Kelso (21f, good to soft). More needed in order to go one better here but should make his presence felt. Not really favoured by today's weights but ran well when second in a recent handicap. |
|||
4th (5)  (22/1 +0%)Poetry Man |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Poetry Man 22/1, Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdlers Poetic Rhythm and Forthefunofit. Runner-up on the second of his 2 starts between the flags but beaten 12 lengths by the winner and opposable on Rules debut. Second in a slow-ground Irish point last month; probably best watched on rules debut. |
|||
5th (3)  (16/1 +0%)Cuzco Du Mathan |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cuzco Du Mathan 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France but hasn't shown much in a handful of maiden hurdles for present yard. Now tried in blinkers. Placed over hurdles and fences in France but hasn't shown much in Britain this year. |
|||
6th (7)  (125/1 -89%)Bannockburn |
125/1(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bannockburn 125/1, Little impact in a bumper/2 starts over hurdles in France and out with the washing on debut for present connections at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft). Showed some hurdling ability in France but was tailed off on recent British debut. |
|||
7th (6)  (150/1 +0%)Bay West |
150/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bay West 150/1, Never in the hunt on Rules debut in an Ayr bumper last month and didn't fare any better starting out over hurdles for new yard at Perth. In rear throughout when 100-1 for recent stable/hurdle debut at Perth (2m). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Artiste D'ainay arrives here following some creditable efforts in similar events, but POETRY MAN is arguably the one to beat. The gelded son of Mahler makes his Rules debut following a second in a point-to-point last month and must command respect in a contest lacking depth. Boomslang steps up in trip following a decent second at Kelso most recently and completes the shortlist.
This is likely to boil down to a straight fight between Irish raiders MOON D'ORANGE and Artiste d'Ainay. The latter hasn't done much wrong since switched to hurdles and ought to pick up a race at some point, but he doesn't appear to be progressing and Moon d'Orange is preferred having shaped with promise on his Rules debut at Leopardstown. Boomslang could be in line for minor place money.
A very creditable fourth at the Leopardstown Christmas festival on his hurdling debut, MOON D'ORANGE sets a pretty good standard here.

1st (3)  (2.5/1 -67%)Magical Maggie |
2.5/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Magical Maggie 2.5/1, Dual bumper scorer who left opening hurdles exploits behind last winter when off the mark in a mares' novice at Ludlow (15.7f) last month. Stepped up further when runner-up under a penalty at Perth (16.2f) subsequently and of interest again now handicapping. 2-5 over hurdles; good second in Perth novice last month; makes handicap debut here. |
|||
2nd (2)  (9/1 +10%)Pearl Of The West |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Pearl Of The West 9/1, Fairly useful performer at best but she made no impact on Flat/over hurdles last year and absent since finishing well held on the level at Dundalk in January. Betting may prove a useful guide. Very useful at her best but is a difficult mare to weigh up at present. |
|||
3rd (1)  (1.5/1 +14%)Merry Poppins |
1.5/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Merry Poppins 1.5/1, Consistent sort who comes here at the top of her game, third in big field at Haydock (3m) 2 weeks ago, yet to be asked for effort when all but coming down 3 out. Went with plenty of zest then and big player down in trip back in calmer waters. Placed in two valuable events this spring (2m4f/3m); good chance if drop in trip suits. |
|||
4th (5)  (2.5/1 +25%)Blue Hawaii |
2.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Blue Hawaii 2.5/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who tasted success over fences at Sedgefield (19.3f) in March. Highlighted her versatility in adding victory on Flat to her tally at Nottingham (14f, heavy) earlier this month and no surprise to see her give another good account back over timber. Has won over fences and on the Flat this spring; must be considered on return to hurdling. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (66/1 -100%)Wicklow Flyer |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Wicklow Flyer 66/1, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland, landing a Bellewstown claimer on final start for Gordon Elliott in August. However, well held in 2 starts over hurdles/fences for Shark Hanlon thereafter and starts out for new yard with a good bit to prove. Out of form when last seen and today's stable debut comes after an eight-month absence. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Having recorded a fair third after losing a shoe over an extended 3m at Haydock last time out, MERRY POPPINS could benefit from a drop in class and she can make her presence felt off 2lb higher here. She was only denied by half a length at Cheltenham over an extended 2m4f on her penultimate run and can be expected to be thereabouts, while the recent Flat winner Blue Hawaii and Magical Maggie are her most serious dangers.
MERRY POPPINS drops back markedly in trip but the way she travelled when third at Haydock (3m) latest suggests that will pose no fears and she gets the narrow vote to deservedly get back to winning ways. Magical Maggie is going the right way in this sphere and rates the chief threat, ahead of Blue Hawaii.
This is a significant drop in grade for MERRY POPPINS, who has performed commendably in two competitive handicaps this spring.

1st (4)  (2.75/1 -38%)Lights Are Green |
2.75/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lights Are Green 2.75/1, Point winner who had shaped encouragingly prior to departing on chasing debut at Hexham and, with his confidence clearly unaffected, got off the mark under Rules back there a fortnight ago, stamina clearly very much his strength. More to come. Game winner at Hexham two weeks ago; up 5lb but still open to improvement. |
|||
2nd (2)  (6/1 +0%)Ali Star Bert |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ali Star Bert 6/1, Landed a gamble on just his second start over fences at Uttoxeter and impressive when following up at Chepstow (26.2f, good to soft) in February. Took a step backwards in form terms at Stratford 5 weeks ago, though. Improved this year but below best latest; needs to leave that behind. |
|||
3rd (11)  (7/1 +50%)Passing Secrets |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Passing Secrets 7/1, Runner-up 4 times over fences in 2021/22 and despite a quiet spell has been leaving the impression he has a small race in him, again hinting at a revival back over fences (5 lb out of the handicap) at Fontwell. Not beaten too far at Fontwell latest but limited appeal for this maiden. |
|||
4th (8)  (16/1 +43%)Allardyce |
16/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Allardyce 16/1, Losing run stretches back to early-2020 and little show of late (in touch when badly hampered and fell twelfth latest). 0-14 in Britain; pulled up three times before unlucky fall latest. |
|||
5th (10)  (5/1 +58%)O'grady's Boy |
5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) O'grady's Boy 5/1, Modest maiden hurdler/chaser at best, travelled well at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago but faded from 3 out. Hard to fancy. Maiden; slightly better latest two starts and trainer in good form. |
|||
6th (1)  (22/1 -120%)Archie Brown |
22/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Archie Brown 22/1, Won at Market Rasen in February 2021 and having been seen just twice since, shaped better than the bare result on his return from a long absence at Sedgefield, looking on a mark he can be competitive off before lack of fitness/stamina seemed to become an issue. Well beaten on return from long absence and best form has come on soft ground. |
|||
7th (6)  (4/1 +20%)Big Gangsta |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Big Gangsta 4/1, Irish point winner and fair form when runner-up at Sedgefield only start in bumpers. Little show over hurdles, but now goes handicap chasing up in trip for leading course trainer. Interesting. Point winner; nothing over hurdles; chasing/handicap debut and represents top team here. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (10/1 +38%)So Ladylike |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) So Ladylike 10/1, Multiple point winner. Poor maiden hurdler/chaser, well held in handicap chases at Downpatrick last 2 starts. Work to do. Second at Wexford in March but not so good since; has to prove stamina at this trip. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (14/1 +65%)Old Page |
14/1(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Old Page 14/1, Successful between the flags last spring but little form under Rules. Good C&D effort last August but hasn't repeated it. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
An emphatic winner over 3m at Hexham earlier this month, a 6lb raised mark looks unlikely to stop BALLYNAGRAN from securing a double here and Joanne Foster's eight-year-old can add to his winning tally. Lights Are Green drops in class following a game win, also over 3m at Hexham last time out, and looks to be the selection's most serious danger. Ali Star Bert drops in trip following a distant third at Stratford last month and completes the shortlist.
LIGHTS ARE GREEN can do even better after his Hexham success and he's fancied to follow up. Big Gangsta is interesting now going chasing for Cartmel's top yard and improvement could be forthcoming. Ballynagran made all at Hexham 3 weeks ago and isn't out of it if backing that up.
Despite being a 12yo maiden, O'GRADY'S BOY might yet have a race in him and is given the nod.

1st (2)  (6/1 +57%)Al Zaraqaan |
6/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Al Zaraqaan 6/1, Smart at best on the Flat and positive start over hurdles, making it 4 on the spin at Musselburgh in December. However, form has subsequently dipped and needs to turn things around now switched to fences. Looks on a tough enough mark and has something to prove on his switch to fences. |
|||
2nd (1)  (1.38/1 +27%)A Different Kind |
1.38/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) A Different Kind 1.38/1, Pretty useful hurdler and there were positives to glean from his chase debut at Warwick (16.2f, good to soft) where he was undone by a bad mistake at the fifth-last. Open to improvement in this sphere. Triple hurdle winner who shaped better than bare result on recent chase debut; respected. |
|||
3rd (3)  (3.5/1 -40%)Champ De Gane |
3.5/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Champ De Gane 3.5/1, Runner-up on 3 of his 4 completed starts over fences and would've won at Ayr in March had he safely negotiated the final fence. Major player. Runner-up in three of his four completed starts over fences and he's in the mix. |
|||
4th (5)  (3.5/1 -56%)Gold Link |
3.5/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gold Link 3.5/1, Showed plenty in 3 runs over hurdles in 2021 and proved that his ability remains intact when runner-up in a maiden at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) where he was returning from a 2-year layoff. Should be in the mix provided his jumping passes the test on this chase debut. Runner-up in last four hurdle runs and he should have a future at this new discipline. |
|||
5th (4)  (10/1 +29%)Vocal Duke |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Vocal Duke 10/1, Four-time winner over hurdles and narrowly denied a fifth success at Carlisle in February. Both subsequent efforts have been poor, though, and hopes pinned on the switch to fences sparking a revival. His last hurdle win came at this track but he has questions to answer on his chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Runner-up on three of his last five starts and a faller when well clear at Ayr in March, CHAMP DE GANE has shown more than enough to suggest that he can finally get off the mark. A debutant over fences, Gold Link arrives in a similar vein of form, while A Different Kind should improve for his most recent effort at Warwick.
Save for a bad mistake at the fifth-last, A DIFFERENT KIND jumped well on his debut over fences at Warwick and will prove hard to beat if able to avoid any mishaps here. Champ de Gane will surely pick up a race sooner rather than later and rates the main danger ahead of chasing debutant Gold Link.
This looks a bit trappy but Emma Lavelle's chase debutant GOLD LINK gets the vote ahead of A Different Kind and Champ De Gane.

1st (11)  (8/1 +76%)Do No Wrong |
8/1(+76%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Do No Wrong 8/1, Hurdles winner at Sedgefield in August 2021. Lightly raced in the last couple of years, stopping quickly after a year off at Hexham 3 weeks ago. Hard to fancy. Pulled up on recent chasing debut, after a year off. |
|||
2nd (4)  (8/1 +6%)Mister Bells |
8/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mister Bells 8/1, Hard to catch right and well beaten in the mud at Sedgefield 6 weeks ago on the back of victory at Market Rasen. Should bounce back. Modest run latest but considered on previous British efforts, including a win. |
|||
3rd (8)  (4/1 +0%)Follow Your Arrow |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Follow Your Arrow 4/1, Goes well at Hexham (sole win in handicap chase there, ran well back over fences 21 days ago). Wouldn't dismiss off unchanged mark. Back to form with a second at Hexham three weeks ago; best form has come at that track. |
|||
4th (1)  (4/1 +27%)Zumbi |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Zumbi 4/1, 22f novice hurdle winner at this meeting last year. Didn't progress but no surprise to see him develop into a fair staying chaser for Cartmel's leading yard (point winner). One to note. Chasing debut; pulled up over hurdles last month but still a leading fancy. |
|||
5th (3)  (11/1 +45%)Getaway Luv |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Getaway Luv 11/1, Won twice over fences last term. Might need this on return over a trip that is likely to stretch him. Chances on best form from last season but stamina a worry at this trip. |
|||
6th (2)  (6.5/1 +24%)Touch Kick |
6.5/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Touch Kick 6.5/1, Veteran whose losing run is mounting up but placed the last twice. Others appeal more for the win. Just beaten two starts ago but no wins since 2019. |
|||
7th (10)  (25/1 -257%)Ardera Cross |
25/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Ardera Cross 25/1, Raced mostly at Ayr in recent times, winning another couple of handicap chases in February. Stiff task latest and has form here too. Still has plenty of fire but may be vulnerable at this trip around here. |
|||
8th (5)  (7.5/1 -50%)Bolsover Bill |
7.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bolsover Bill 7.5/1, Big improver with the tongue tie refitted last term, gaining a fourth success over fences at Plumpton (19.7f) in March. Not disgraced from a career-high mark after another wind op at Ffos Las latest. Not quite at best latest but in good form this year and chances if staying 2m5f. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (8.5/1 +29%)Raecius Felix |
8.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Raecius Felix 8.5/1, All-the-way winner of handicap chases at Sedgefield and Kelso (both at around 21f) in September. Ran no sort of race (possibly amiss) back from 7 months off at Hexham recently. Pulled up on return from a break but plenty of reasons to expect much better now. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (12/1 -167%)Cenotice |
12/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cenotice 12/1, Has dropped a long way in the weights and ran his best race for a while when second at Southwell (20.4f, good to soft, 16/1) in first-time cheekpieces 4 weeks ago. Considered. Back to form in cheekpieces with a second at Southwell; decent chances on that. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This can go the way of CENOTICE, who bounced back to form with a runner-up effort at Southwell last time out and the slight rise in distance can see him go one better. Donald McCain's charge is preferred to the likes of Touch Kick and Follow Your Arrow, who ran very well at Hexham last time out. Ardera Cross and Bolsover Bill can also have a say in proceedings.
CENOTICE ran his best race for a while at Southwell and is capable of winning this if the cheekpieces work as well again. Follow Your Arrow and Mister Bells are a couple of others to consider.
Plenty to consider but top weight ZUMBI can make a winning start to his chasing career.

1st (1)  (5/1 -25%)Go Another One |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Go Another One 5/1, Winner of a 4-runner Perth handicap chase off 7 lb higher in September 2021 but lightly-raced since and was safely held back from a 12-month absence at Punchestown. Safely held in cross-country chase on only start last season but conditions will suit here. |
|||
2nd (3)  (2.5/1 -11%)Fidux |
2.5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fidux 2.5/1, Made frame in Scottish National last season and back to form the last twice, finishing second to the resurgent Boldmere in 3m handicaps at Doncaster (good) and Fakenham (soft). Needs considering off an unchanged mark. Not the force of old but was second in two veterans' chases towards end of last season. |
|||
3rd (2)  (1.5/1 +14%)The Wolf |
1.5/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) The Wolf 1.5/1, Not the most reliable of types but appeared to benefit from a more positive ride when snapping a long losing run at Perth (23.8f, soft). Remains on a plausible mark up 7 lb and will have every chance if in a similar mood. Won off much-reduced mark last month; major player if avoiding jumping errors. |
|||
4th (4)  (11/1 +8%)Kauto Riko |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kauto Riko 11/1, Has drawn a blank since 3m Kelso listed success in February 2020 and there were no signs of an imminent revival at Sandown last time. Smart at his best but hasn't won since 2020 and had poor completion record last season. |
|||
5th (5)  (5/1 +64%)Dallas Des Pictons |
5/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dallas Des Pictons 5/1, Useful hurdler/chaser who ended a long losing run in 3m Cork handicap hurdle on final start for Gordon Elliott in August. Good second back chasing for his new yard at Carlisle in October but disappointing over both sets of obstacles since. Regressive 10yo; struggling from fairly early stage in Aintree handicap hurdle last month. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
THE WOLF had hit the crossbar prior to his recent Perth romp and a subsequent 7lb rise in the handicap might not be enough stop Olly Murphy's charge from doubling up. Fidux arrives here on the back of two seconds in a couple of veterans' events and is well worth considering once more, while Dallas Des Pictons has dropped to a workable mark and should not be underestimated.
FIDUX did well to get within a neck of the resurgent Boldmere on ground that wouldn't have been ideal at Fakenham last month, and he is taken to resume winning ways off the same mark here with more suitable conditions forecast. For all that he is not one to set your watch by, The Wolf will be a big threat if reproducing the form of his last-time-out Perth success, while Breaking The Ice would also be in with a shout were he to put his best foot forward.
Likely front-runner BREAKING THE ICE comes here fresh and is selected to collect his second C&D win.

1st (4)  (8/1 -78%)Jersey Lady |
8/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jersey Lady 8/1, Cashed in off a reduced mark when striking under Victoria Malzard at Plumpton (25f, soft) last month. 2 lb nudge fair enough but more needed in this higher-grade handicap. Game winner on soft ground last month and this quicker surface should suit even better. |
|||
2nd (7)  (3.33/1 -11%)Emily Wade |
3.33/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Emily Wade 3.33/1, Hasn't done much wrong since switched to handicaps in this sphere, off the mark at Southwell (20.4f, soft) in March and placed both subsequent starts. Stamina to prove now moving up in trip but will be a threat if she does see it out. In good form over 2m4f this spring; up in trip/grade here. |

3rd (2)  (1.62/1 +28%)Mary Cassatt |
1.62/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mary Cassatt 1.62/1, Off the mark at the eighth time of asking over hurdles when accounting for 15 rivals in a Killarney maiden (22.2f, good) 12 days ago. However, she steps back into handicap company on what looks a stiff mark. Improving mare who moves up in trip again after recent 2m6f maiden win; good chance. |

4th (6)  (4/1 +11%)Bright Sunbird |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bright Sunbird 4/1, Back to back winner last summer, including a 2¾m novice at this course. Returned to form following a break when finding just one too good at Ludlow (23.8f, good to soft) earlier this month and she's a leading candidate. Course winner last summer; still on good mark after this month's reappearance second. |

5th (1)  (5.5/1 +0%)Could Be Trouble |
5.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Could Be Trouble 5.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who shaped as though back in form when fifth of 17 in first-time blinkers (retained) at Cheltenham (20.2f, good) last month. 2 lb lower now and she has to enter calculations. Fifth of 17 in competitive 2m4f series final last month; tries new trip off 2lb lower here. |

6th (5)  (18/1 +10%)On We Go |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) On We Go 18/1, Three-time winner last spring/summer and did the job well when getting her head back in front at Ayr in February. Possible excuses for poor efforts since (testing conditions at Uttoxeter then simply looked amiss at Kelso) but she's probably a shade too high in the weights in any case. Dual course winner last year but pulled up twice last month and needs to prove wellbeing. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Mary Cassatt made light work of her rivals when winning a maiden hurdle at Killarney 12 days ago but, though respected, preference is for EMILY WADE. The six-year-old has posted back-to-back seconds over 2m4f recently, but has looked outpaced each time, so it's quite possible that this extra distance could bring out the best in her. Jersey Lady is another to consider.
The vote goes to COULD BE TROUBLE, who returned to form when fifth in a Class 2 Cheltenham handicap and this step back up in trip looks a good move. Bright Sunbird produced her best effort for a while when hitting the crossbar at Ludlow recently and she is feared most, albeit only marginally as a pretty strong case can also be made for Emily Wade.
Improving 4yo MARY CASSATT (nap) returns to a handicap after a convincing 2m6f maiden win 12 days ago and makes strong appeal.
