Promising 2yo for Jack Davison in Ireland last season; yet to shine for current stable and, although the handicapper is relenting, this looks competitive enough.

T: Stuart Williams

Won from a similar mark at Lingfield (5f; 8-1) in November; form levels have dipped since finishing third back there in January, failing to beat a single rival the last twice; is 2-4 over C&D, so it's possible that added cheekpieces can rekindle a spark.

Back on better ground when he returned to form with a win at Musselburgh (5f, good) last month, taking his strike-rate to 5-22; did well to come out of top from a wide draw and this 4yo could go well up 5lb.

Three C&D runs have yielded two wins and a fifth (in Class 3 company); has only run to form once this year, finishing third to Harry Brown at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) last month; below par last time but if he is to revive it is likely to be under these conditions.

Front-runner with a C&D win on his record; 6lb lower than when seeing off seven rivals at Newbury last summer (5f, good to firm) but not easily recommended on 2026 evidence and he will find easier races to dominate than this.

Both handicap wins on turf at Chester (5f and 6f); no great shakes on this track for new yard since November but he's dropped 9lb in that time and there was the glimmer of a revival here last time when back from a break; not ruled out.
