9st 12lb |
Suited by slow ground and was runner-up over 2m at Chepstow and Newbury in the summer but his form nosedived at Ffos Las last month; has something to prove again after that and he's an infrequent winner. |

1st Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Fair on the Flat but has not shown much over hurdles; pulled up on last month's handicap debut at Southwell (2m, good to soft); moves up in trip and swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

4th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Ordinary maiden on Flat for Hugo Palmer and tailed off in three hurdles on ground ranging from heavy to good to soft; in a respected yard but has it all to prove on handicap debut. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Placed lots of times over hurdles but won only once in 24 attempts; hasn't been close to his best this season and he's not bred for fences. |
16/1 |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Just 1-23 over hurdles, the win gained in 2023; out of form at around 2m this season but this longer trip might suit him better now and he has slipped to a very good mark; worth a glance in the betting. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |

Appreciated returning to the Flat when running quite well for a 50-1 chance at Wolverhampton; still has ground to make up on Forglen. |

19th May 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won off a similar mark on turf (2m) in August, but she's run some ordinary races on the AW since finishing close up at Kempton in January 2024 and recent hurdle efforts raise questions about her current form. |

Verdict
Tin Fandango will be a tough nut to crack if bouncing back from last month’s blip but DRAGONBALL PRINCE (nap) ran very well in defeat on both starts last month (one over C&D on soft) and is taken to go one better today. Bernard Llewellyn supplies half of the field and, of his four runners, Hollie Doyle’s mount Port Or Starboard appeals most.[Chris Wilson]
