9st 12lb

J: Harrison Shaw

T: Bryan Smart

Useful 2yo form at 6f, including on this track, but has had just four runs since and he's been soundly beaten in two runs after missing the whole of 2024; already 9lb lower than the first of them but lots to prove.

Project Black

9st 9lb

J: Harrison Shaw

T: Bryan Smart

Promising 2yo, including a soft-ground Redcar win (6f); absent for 713 days prior to finishing tailed off in a 7f handicap at Redcar in April; that was his only run for Geoff Oldroyd and he's now back with his original trainer (and running in his colours) so presumably not felt to be a busted flush; risky but could yet bounce back.

8st 12lb

J: P J McDonald

T: Geoff Oldroyd

Looked a good prospect as a 2yo, winning a 6f novice here (soft) either side of placed efforts at York and Newcastle; bitterly disappointing in two handicaps in the spring of 2023, after which he was gelded; absent for 713 days but makes his stable debut (same owner) off a reduced mark; betting to guide now tackling 7f for the first time.

20/1
