Form & Verdict
Headed to Nottingham last week as a 16-race maiden but had been running well and he stormed home by nearly 10l in a first-time visor (1m2f, good); turned out quickly under a penalty and hard to beat if in the same form.

Had a productive time of things in 2025 when the visor went on, winning on four occasions, including over this C&D last June; well beaten on the AW at Newcastle in November and he was too free on his comeback run at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; may take a step forward from that but will need to.

T: Craig Lidster

Had a highly productive time on turf last season including four wins (1m1f/1m2f) and four seconds; struggled in his hat-trick bid in November but that was on AW and he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form; interesting contender who needs a close look on return.

One of the favourites when beaten 3l after a slow start at Redcar (1m2f); that made it 0-22 but there's a race in him and he now tries more new headgear.

Series of good runs since fitted with a visor, winning at Ayr in July (1m, good to soft) then finishing third on his next three starts; blinkers were tried here on Tuesday and he ran another good race, albeit no match for the thriving winner; should give another good account.

Back-to-back wins last summer came over 1m2f here (soft) and when narrowly making all at Catterick (1m4f, good); both wins came under Tom Kiely-Marshall but they also featured cheekpieces, which are missing for this comeback; mark is fine if he is ready.

From out of the handicap she's 12lb higher than when winning at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) 12 days ago in her second handicap hurdle; however, she did it comfortably and may well have more to offer in this code, especially now up in trip (won at up to 2m on the Flat); versatile ground-wise.

A fair 2m winner on the Flat in 2025; not at that level in four runs in this sphere, including on her handicap debut when a never-dangerous sixth of 13 at Catterick (2m) in January; she could still do better though after a break granted this stiffer test of stamina.
