J: Shane Kelly

T: John Butler

Drawn a blank since his Ffos Las nursery win (6f) in September 2023; big prices and well beaten in four runs for John Butler but he ran better than the distance beaten at Lingfield 17 days ago (forced a strong pace and weakened quickly in the final furlong); tumbling down the weights and he needs a close look in the betting now back sprinting.

Yet to add to 6f turf win for Jack Channon in September 2023 and was safely held on all three starts for John Butler in the autumn (7f-1m); lurks on a dangerous mark though and needs a check in the betting.

9st 6lb

J: Jack Doughty

T: John Butler

Won a nursery off 10lb higher last autumn but he struggled for Jack Channon this year and fared no better in two runs for this yard in recent months; Global Warning looks the more likely of the yard's pair unless the betting suggests otherwise.
