J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Henrietta C Knight

Won at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) for Mick Appleby last September and bounced back from below-par efforts to end 2025 when making a successful start for the Henrietta Knight stable over 1m4f at Thirsk (good) four weeks ago; did that readily but this looks significantly tougher than that five-runner affair.

Form & Verdict
Sixth career run when the odds-on winner for a 1m2f maiden for previous yard; bar one blip, he's been thereabouts in his handicaps for James Owen and this slightly longer trip is worth a go.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

Record is only 1-12 and most of his form is over middle distances; however, looks a possible danger at this level provided he's suited by returning to 1m for first time since debut.

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: James Owen

Runner-up last July-October on three of his first four starts for this yard and he again finished second on this month's reappearance at Thirsk (1m4f, good), albeit no match for the winner; he could build on that latest effort and is not discounted.

Form & Verdict
Consistent 4yo who has really raised his game since the blinkers went on, twice making all over 1m4f at Wolverhampton; it was never in doubt there last weekend and he's 3lb well in under a penalty; unraced on turf.

J: Neil Callan

T: Charlie Johnston

Steady improver on AW who won his third race in that sphere when making all at Wolverhampton in April; bit below that under a penalty when third on his turf debut at Thirsk (also 1m4f, good) but that came just six days later; five-week break should have recharged his batteries and pedigree points to grass being no problem.

Consistent 4yo who twice made all over 1m4f on Wolverhampton AW once the visor was enlisted; respectable third of five on turf debut at Thirsk (1m4f, good; hung left) three weeks ago but this race should be a lot harder.

On a fair mark on her best Flat form for Harry Charlton; some promise over hurdles for new stable and 1m4f may have stretched her when back on the Flat at Thirsk two weeks ago.

Strong finish from the rear secured this prize last year (good ground) off 1lb lower than today, but also from stall 4 compared to today's stall 16; also won over 1m4f on soft at Catterick in October; needs to leave his two efforts this season (1m4f, good) a long way behind him but this may be a much more favourable scenario if the draw does not scupper him.
