J: Kieran O’Neill

Tapeta specialist but he's hung right before finishing a well-held fifth at Wolverhampton (5f) in his last two starts; continues to edge down the weights but he's 0-13 on turf and has not run in this sphere since last May; others preferred.

Four C&D wins (from marks in the 60s); excuses when a closing third over C&D on penultimate start; hung right when three places (over 4l) behind Shalaa Asker subsequently; has won for Kieran O'Neill but needs everything to drop his way.

Tends to come with a late rattle and ended up with too much to do when a close fifth of nine to Phoenix Beach over C&D 11 days ago; tightly matched with the winner again; clear contender if getting the breaks.

Form & Verdict
Often flattered to deceive for Henry Candy but he has fallen in the weights and shaped quite well when third of nine over 6f at Southwell on stable debut; led briefly over 1f out that day and could be well suited by this drop back in distance; interesting.

J: Jack Doughty

The extended 5f at Brighton (good to firm) last May brought his only win from 27 races; his most competitive shows since were on AW this March but he was second favourite on return to turf at Bath last Friday, only to be hampered; not entirely dismissed.

Multiple 5f/6f winner including over C&D; scored three times in 2024 but ended the year in a lull; bit to prove after five months off, although it's encouraging that he won here after a similar break last spring.
