Form & Verdict

Candonomore

9st 11lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Jennie Candlish

A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April and, having run well over 1m2f in the past, he didn't have a problem with 1m1f when a close third, just behind Ayr Poet, at Ayr since on yard debut; remains on a career-high mark though so a shade more may be needed.

Justified favouritism at Bath (1m, firm) on final start for Stuart Williams; sold for 35,000gns since, and begins life for new connections from a 5lb higher mark; has undertaken most of his racing over 7f-1m but does stay (runner-up over 1m2f last June); claims, even if career-best is required.

Sole success came in a Kempton AW novice in December 2024; has been beaten in eight handicaps since, latest when a place behind Nakaaha when third of six at Bath (1m, firm) last month; no margin for error off this mark but should find a race soon.

J: Jack Callan

Scored on his AW/nursery debut in 2024 but wasn't competitive in just three starts last year; did gain plenty of market traction on the last of them, though, and last month's reappearance at Bath wasn't totally devoid of promise; tries 1m2f for just the second time and he's not fully exposed.

Eighth attempt when making all in a Beverley maiden (8.5f); left Charlie Johnston and made a winning start for new stable with another all-the-way success at Haydock (1m) in September; 9-4 favourite, something presumably not right (hung left and weakened quickly) when last of ten at Southwell in November; given a bit of time since; no surprise were he to resume his progress.
