Made all at Ripon (6f, good) on last year's reappearance and ran well in defeat on next four starts (including over C&D) prior to two lesser runs to finish his campaign; returned to form with very close third of 16 in same Ripon race last month and this front-runner is an each-way contender.

Prominent racer; C&D winner on his seasonal return on this card 12 months ago; often ran well in good handicaps afterwards and although he ended 2025 with a couple of lesser efforts, he is likely to be seen to much better effect this time; should make a bold bid up the stands' rail.

Reliable and useful sprinter; won a Class 4 at Ripon (6f, good) on his reappearance and he's run well in defeat in some of the best 3yo handicaps since, latterly doing best of the far-side group when second at Newmarket's July meeting; a 2lb rise for that seems fair and he holds strong claims.

Form & Verdict
Much improved on stable debut and reappearance when justifying strong market support in 6f Catterick handicap (good ground; 15-8 favourite) last week; up in class, but 1lb well in under penalty; fair chance of following up.

Began 2025 in good form, winning a handicap at Catterick and then finishing a good second at Ripon (both 6f, good); modest form in two runs back with Seb Spencer but his return to action at Doncaster three weeks ago certainly didn't get to the bottom of him, travelling well under restraint and then meeting some trouble as the race was unfolding; capable of better, perhaps markedly so, and the betting should be revealing.

Form & Verdict
Five starts last year, the pick of his form when narrowly winning 7f Newmarket novice (good ground) on third go; caught away from the main action and perhaps didn't handle soft ground when last seen in October; down in trip but has speedy pedigree and should have more to give for good yard; newly gelded.

Ex William Haggas; no win since his juvenile days, but has twice ran well over this C&D, including when fourth (from 4lb higher) last August; no match for stablemate Novello Lad at Doncaster (6f, good to soft; 25-1) recently but that comeback run ought to have him spot on for this.

Regressed for William Haggas before sold last summer; the handicapper is easing off so he should be easy enough to place in due course but he's done a lot of his racing over 7f and now returns from an absence; Novello Lad looks his trainer's best shout.
