Gelded 2,000gns yearling whose dam was successful at around this trip; yard has the occasional winning newcomer and the market tends to be a useful guide. |

3rd 5 (10) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Belied 33-1 odds when 2l third on debut at Leicester (7f, good to soft) last September; underwhelming at Southwell (7f, AW) the following month but he's a major player if rediscovering his initial promise. |
7/1 |
|
6 (7) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Sent off 33-1 for last month's Leicester debut (7f, good to soft), but was only beaten 2l into third of ten having attempted to make all; a couple of winners have come out of that race and shortlisted if as effective on this different surface. |

7th 7 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Solid turf/handicap debut effort on his recent comeback, having fluffed the start and been inclined to pull hard after seven months off; this longer trip should be within range on pedigree if he's more amenable. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 (2) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Left debut behind when promising third of 13 at Newcastle (6f) last August; went off favourite for a Wolverhampton novice (6f again) the following month but stopped quickly and finished sixth; absent for seven months ahead of this handicap and turf debut. |

Betting Forcast
9/2 Sand Sea, 7/2 Tip Foster, 12/1 You Will See, 11/4 Big Shot Veto, 9/2 Indefensible, 16/1 Leelawadee, 12/1 Moving Rubber, 12/1 Burrows Silver, 25/1 Secretinthesky, 25/1 Ziggy Bay
Verdict
The shortlist is headed by the two Barron-trained runners who both look open to improvement, namely TIP FOSTER and Sand Sea in that provisional order of preference, market signals pending (the latter has been absent for over a year). Big Shot Veto hasn’t strictly progressed from his debut effort but he’s a leading player on the figures, while Indefensible is also in the mix.[Steve Boow]
