6 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Operating off a much-reduced mark now and his last two runs have been more promising, only beaten a nose over C&D nine days ago; able to race off a 1lb lower mark here and of obvious interest from a handicapping perspective; new accessory combination tried.

9st 3lb

J: Christian Howarth

T: Simon Dow

Lost his last 19 starts and maintains a far lesser strike-rate on turf, but two previous runs over this C&D have netted a win off 11lb higher and (latest) a near-3l fifth which can be marked up as the rider dropped his hands late on; turn might be nearing.

He's done well since returned to sprint trips this winter, winning two 6f handicaps at Chelmsford; has also run well over 5f and he's likely to get the strong pace he needs at this trip; each-way claims.

Form & Verdict
Unexposed 4yo; speedy front-runner; made all to win a 5f maiden at Wolverhampton last winter; solid effort when fourth over that C&D on last month's handicap debut/return from a year off, tiring late on; likely to face competition for the lead this time.

Tends to lead; started the year well on AW but it all went wrong at Newcastle in March and he could only beat one home in seven-runner 5f course handicap a fortnight ago; easy ground probably no help that day and it's not impossible this C&D winner can stage a revival.

Front-runner whose last four wins have been on the AW, the most recent over 6f at Newcastle in February, but he did win here (6f) in 2024; failed to beat a rival home having unseated his rider on the way to the start at Newcastle in March and now drops back to 5f on first start since; looks likely to face competition for the lead.

J: Joey Haynes

His good 5-15 AW record includes a comfortable C&D win from the front last month; creditable third of nine at Chelmsford (5f) since and the form of that race has been boosted; a must for the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Useful over 6f and 7f for John Butler in his prime; out of sorts for Shark Hanlon last year; returns to AW on a dangerous mark and looks the type Ian Williams will coax back to form at some point; whether it will be over this sharp 5f remains to be seen though.
