J: Edward Greatrex

T: Robert Cowell

Useful for previous yards; 0-4 this term for new stable but penultimate effort shows that he retains plenty of ability and today's assignment looks a touch easier than his latest one.

6f German Listed win for Archie Watson last June and looked as good as ever when 1l third of 13 to Strike Red in recent Leicester handicap (good to firm), when back up to 6f on his third run for this yard; may not be far away.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Robert Cowell

Listed winner (5f/6f) for his previous yards and he's run respectably in two 5f handicaps for his new trainer this spring; needs to find some extra spark but he's edging down the weights and this step back up in trip looks a good move.

Record of 4-22 on AW; no win since 2023 but has consistent handicap form this winter, going close on a few occasions, and faced a stiff task at Listed level last time; fighting chance off current mark.

J: Jack Callan

T: Robert Cowell

Prominent racer; won at Lingfield (5f, AW) in January on second start since returning to this stable and he went close over that same C&D next time; ran creditably back on turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 17 days ago but he has a better strike-rate on the AW (1-24 on turf).

Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and it's four years since his sole success in this sphere; not the percentage call in this first grass attempt since last August.

Form & Verdict
Edged out Bedford Flyer at Southwell just before Christmas with a strong late run, making it 2-3 on AW, and he wasn't disgraced (bit short of room) over 6f at Chelmsford next time; impossible to rule out.

Can take a nap at the start; best form of 2025 in good 5f Hamilton races during June, going close (good to soft) before leading near the line (good) but he hasn't been running badly in competitive sprints of late; the expected strong pace can suit now he's back at 5f and returned to this grade.

Close second at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in June and went one better there (5f, good) 11 days later; effective over 6f in the past; however, down the field on his last two outings and needs to get back on track.
