Form & Verdict
Placed on debut at Bath (5f, good) in August and bounced back quickly from a disappointing performance when very respectable sixth of 12 at Nottingham (5f, soft) in September; makes handicap/AW debut after five-month break but has plenty of scope for improvement this year.

T: Robert Cowell

Most of his success has come on AW but he showed at Nottingham last spring that he could get the job done on turf (5f, good); looked as though his recent seasonal return would bring him on and his lacklustre end to 2025 has seen him drop to a dangerous mark.

Not seen in six months, but finished first and second in two starts over C&D as a 3yo, on each occasion when returning from an absence; 6lb below last winning mark; worth a second look.

9st 9lb

J: P J McDonald

T: Robert Cowell

Three of his six wins have come over C&D and has dropped 4lb lower than when successful at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) in June, but he does seem at his best when dominating and that won't be easy with Night On Earth in the field.

Form & Verdict
Made the frame in two C&D novice races towards end of last year and kept on well to take second behind a next-time winner on last month's handicap debut at Chelmsford (5f); probably still has more to offer; respected.

Maiden who's been expensive to follow and who's regressed since undergoing wind surgery; better was expected on his first start since being gelded recently but he again disappointed.

Form: 34128- D

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Did not need to improve to win Brighton maiden (5.2f, good) in September, his seventh start, and showed better form when close second in C&D novice a few days later; not disgraced in valuable sales race on latest outing but has fitness to prove after 142-day absence.

Looked promising when runner-up on first two 2yo starts, the latter over C&D, but two lesser efforts have followed and last of six on recent handicap debut at Newcastle; needs first-time tongue-tie to make a difference.

Hasn't threatened in first two handicaps (5f, AW) but has had wind op since last start in February and that may help her tap back into the promise of her first two runs last year (5f, good to firm/AW); contender if so.

Form & Verdict
Scored at Bath for Richard Hannon on last summer's nursery debut and was placed on next four outings (one over C&D); didn't fire at Newcastle a fortnight ago, after a break, but has possibilities if that outing has brought him on; hooded for first time.

Three turf wins over 5f but 0-13 and it has been a while since he has shone on this surface; new headgear tried today and the tongue tie worn on his last two starts dispensed with.

Found traffic a couple of times since winning a selling handicap off 3lb lower in the first-time visor in June (all 5f, Hamilton); shouldn't mind going back up to 6f for a trainer also responsible for Ramon Di Loria.

Got the better of Kyber Crystal in a selling handicap over C&D last month (visored first time); not so good back here last week (behind Sixcor) and although he didn't get the cleanest run through, he didn't look unlucky; others appeal more.
