J: Miss Lucy Turner

T: Donald McCain

Course specialist who also took this contest in 2023 (for Lucy Turner); off seven months and not seen to best effect (caught wide) when beating one here (6f) on his return last month; it would come as no surprise to see him play a prominent role now.

1-9, with the success coming in a novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last June; has posted some good efforts since, including when narrowly beaten at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in August, but she's been below her best in two starts this year; hung left last time and cheekpieces are now tried.

J: Luke Morris

T: Tom Clover

Clearcut winner of a Windsor novice (6f, good to firm) last June; finished close up in three of her four handicaps last season but she reappeared with a 12l defeat at Newmarket (100-30) three weeks ago; that was in a Class 3 after six months off but she needs to bounce back after that disappointing run.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Tom Clover

Not seen to best effect last October on final 3yo start but she'd previous gone close twice in a row, on the first occasion on the other Newmarket course (6f, good to firm); reappears with Oisin Murphy booked and this lightly raced filly may have more to offer this season; possible contender.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the 17th attempt when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month and followed up when ridden by Chrstian Howarth over that same C&D 12 days ago, making all; he did it well last time and 9lb rise may not stop a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Made it 0-16 when well beaten here 16 days ago; however, this was his first attempt at 7f and he was running well over 6f previously (AW/good to firm); might not be far away off a career-low mark back down in trip.

Closely related to smart AW performer Cool Hand Luke; built upon promising debut when leading close home at Wolverhampton (6f) in October; makes handicap debut after 170-day absence but should have more improvement to come; tongue-tie added.

Form & Verdict
Progressed with each of his three starts in novice/maiden company (7f/1m) but he didn't see things out on his handicap debut at Chester (7.5f, soft; first start since being gelded) 13 days ago; pedigree doesn't suggest this drop to 6f is what he wants.

Has progressed with each of his three runs, fifth of ten in 1m Redcar novice last month; since gelded and this son of Mohaather could have more to offer now going handicapping; very much one to consider.

Bettered low-key 2yo debut when third on last month's reappearance at Newcastle (1m, AW; first run after wind op); probably needs to take another step forward but has the potential.
