9st 3lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Absent nearly two years after making a winning debut at Newmarket in 2024, he has made up for lost time recently and bagged his third win on handicap debut at Thirsk (7f, good; 15-8) three weeks ago; there should be plenty more to come from him and he needs to be taken seriously here off 3lb higher.

J: Jack Callan

T: George Boughey

Impressive on 2yo debut in 2024 (6f, good) then absent until last month, when going very close at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) before easy win at 1-50 at Lingfield (6f, good to firm); could be on a good mark for this first handicap.

10st 2lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Made a winning 2yo debut at Newmarket (6f, good) but he missed last year and was gelded in the autumn; shade unlucky not to retain his unbeaten record when beaten a nose at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on his comeback a fortnight ago; this is a fairly quick second run back from a big absence but he's scared most of them off and is impossible to oppose.

Interesting that connections have persevered with this 4yo having been absent since making a winning debut at Newmarket in August 2024; has been gelded in the interim and commands plenty of respect, especially if the market signals are favourable.

J: Billy Loughnane

Third foal; closely related to winners Boiling Point (7f including 2yo/Listed; RPR 106) and Resolute Man (7f 2yo; 89); dam placed 1m AW (74), half-sister to 1m4f Group 3 winner Stellar Mass; commands a market check.
