Form & Verdict
Yet to threaten and was no match for the first two when third of six on handicap debut at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; could also do with settling better now upped further in trip but this lightly raced 3yo is well bred and in top hands, and could take a big step forward at some stage; first-time cheekpieces join the tongue-tie adopted last time.

J: Kieran Shoemark

Settling has been an issue and he was always behind when 25-1 in 1m novice at Nottingham last time; needs improvement on this handicap debut but his dam was a useful 1m winner who stayed 1m4f and a tongue-tie is added; from a leading yard and worth a market check.

J: Kieran Shoemark

Could do with settling better now up in trip on handicap debut but he's in a top yard and his dam was a useful 1m winner who stayed 1m4f; gets in off a modest mark and a tongue-tie is added.

Form & Verdict
Built upon previous promise (including fast ground) when staying-on fourth of 13 on recent handicap debut at Goodwood (1m2f, good to soft) in a first-time tongue-tie (retained); today's extra yardage could prompt further improvement and this attractively bred 3yo is firmly in calculations.

Won twice over this trip for Ben Brookhouse last year but his stable/hurdle debut in December was underwhelming and he made a low-key return to the Flat last month; others have much less to prove.

J: Dougie Costello

T: Donald McCain

Struggled on hurdling/stable at Newbury in December but his last Flat run resulted in a brave win at Newmarket (1m4f, good) in the autumn; still looks feasibly treated on that form and he's in the mix back from another break; had a second wind operation since his last run.

J: J F Egan

T: B F Brookhouse

Had a good year, including a breakthrough win at York (1m4f, good to firm) in July; creditable second at Chester (extended 1m4f, good) 12 days ago and a 2lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing.

3 yo Colt

OR: 68

Form & Verdict
Improved upon his first three runs when upped in trip on handicap debut at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) this month, justifying favouritism in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on his first run since behind gelded; bred to do better still and this unexposed 3yo holds strong claims up 5lb.

Among the favourites on his debut for this yard, back from over 18 months off, at Pontefract early last month; cracked late there, having made a lot of the running, and is entitled to improve; claims going back up in trip having been dropped 2lb.

Scored in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut for James Ferguson in June 2024 and signed off for him with good effort in first-time blinkers the following September; makes stable debut after 580-day absence and with no headgear but is versatile regarding ground; market helpful.

Won at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in February and is just 1lb higher today; however, below par on her three runs since, including her first two encounters with turf on which she failed to beat a single rival.

The only one of these with track experience having been placed in all three visits last winter; 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in February, but that her only success in 18 starts and she takes on a couple of progressive 3yos here.

Form & Verdict
15-race maiden who needs to prove she can get the job done but she's been running consistently well, most recently beaten just a head at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to soft), and is versatile ground-wise; could be thereabouts.
