J: Jerry Chau

T: Ollie Sangster

Progressive last year and he has continued the good work in 2026, winning 6f handicaps at Kempton and Newcastle either side of lesser turf efforts, albeit in hot handicaps; has run well at Ascot in the past and although he has yet to race over 5f, he is a strong traveller who could prove suited to it; interesting.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Ollie Sangster

Blessed with a potent turn of foot and he has been impressive in winning 6f AW handicaps at Kempton and Newcastle this year; a 3lb rise for the latter success five weeks ago doesn't handicap him out of things and he ran well in his one visit to Goodwood; one to be interested in.

J: William Buick

T: Ollie Sangster

Three runs at Newcastle, winning two of them and desperately unlucky in the 3yo handicap last Good Friday on the other; looked set for another productive season when scoring at Kempton in March and a subsequent York defeat shouldn't be used as conclusive evidence the handicapper has caught up; leading claims back on AW.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Ollie Sangster

Five wins last year (AW/soft) and he improved again to win in good style on his reappearance at Kempton (6f, AW) in March; he's 5-9 on AW as opposed to 1-7 on turf but there can be optimism that he is just as good on grass (has shown promise on various ground) and he's firmly in calculations.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Ollie Sangster

Hold-up sprinter who won five times in 2025; fifth in a big-field event at the Curragh last September when he had to wait for an age for a gap to appear; appeals as the type to progress again this year and he's high on the list, for all he will need luck in running.
