Unsuited by drop to 6f last time; gradually back to form otherwise this term, close third at Ayr (good) in most recent 7f attempt; possibilities off last winning mark, provided he takes to added cheekpieces. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won by 4l when upped to 1m4f at Catterick (good to soft) in June but he shot up the weights after that and was only forth of seven in a Class 5 at Chester last time; this drop back in trip should be fine but he needs to kick on again to defy this mark. |

First run over 1m4f and on a sharp left-handed track when comfortably coming clear at Catterick (good to soft) latest, which followed two seconds; strong in the market last time and an 8lb rise is hard to moan about. |

Eyecatching third at Wetherby in April (1m, soft) in a Class 6 handicap that has worked out ridiculously well; only second in two runs since (1m, good to firm and 1m1f, soft), not looking entirely straightforward, but he has more than enough ability to win races off this mark; stamina not assured but the new trip is worth a look; contender. |

1-29 under rules, the win coming on the Flat at Hamilton (1m4f) last September; tailed off after doing far too much early on stable debut at Newcastle (2m1f, good) in March; hard to fancy despite the application of a tongue-tie. |

Won off basement mark on the Flat for Simon West in September and has shown some hurdling ability this year, but his tendency to pull hard is a serious worry before this stable/handicap debut; 2lb wrong. |

Quirky sort but she got off the mark in this sphere in 1m7f handicap at Wincanton 43 days ago, despite being reluctant at the start; up 4lb but she still merits serious consideration. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |

Went mighty close at Leicester (soft) in November despite pulling hard and her trainer blamed three fairly quick runs when she disappointed at Uttoxeter (also 2m, heavy) the following month; freshened up since and she can't be ruled out. |

Low-grade Flat winner; yet to be placed after five hurdling starts but kept on from the rear for very respectable fifth of 14 over C&D (good-first-time tongue-tie) this month; considered each-way. |

Proven on soft ground and he wasn't beaten far on his return to action at Newcastle five weeks ago (1m; finished in front of a couple of today's rivals); new, longer trip worth exploring; each-way claims. |

Verdict
This looks fraught with danger. Serendipitous Lady has managed to win a race, on soft ground, and she doesn’t look handicapped out of things starting out for her new stable. The absence of the visor that sparked her progress last autumn is slightly offputting though. John L Sullivan and Infinite Honour are unexposed and can do better, while Trust Time (second choice) is proven on soft ground and shaped okay on his return. Perhaps the step up to 1m will prove the catalyst for an improved showing from BATAL DANDY, who plugged on over an inadequate 6f at Catterick on his reappearance and who can leave that run well behind today.[Paul Smith]
