10st 2lb |
Seemed to benefit from going over 1m2f (and this new headgear combination) when runner-up here two starts back and fared less well back in trip at Chelmsford on Thursday, though the draw didn't help; others preferred kept to 1m. |

10st 2lb |
Four-time AW winner who scored off 10lb higher at Southwell (1m) last November but he's not finished closer than sixth in his seven runs since; turf record now stands at 0-13 and he has questions to answer at this new trip; tongue-tie added. |

1st Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Four wins for the Johnstons, including C&D, and she ran well over 1m here on her final start for that yard in November; down the field in two runs for Philip Makin this winter; sold for 12,000gns last month; latest new yard quick to try headgear. |

Triple 7f AW winner for previous yard; outstayed over 8.5f at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day when making debut for new stable; on a handy mark and has possibilities returned to her optimum distance. |

5th 7 (6) |
26th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
The winner of four races when trained by the Johnstons, two here over 7f; close second at Lingfield last month (1m) after which she changed hands for 16,000gns; stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust but it's a move that looks well worth exploring. |

5th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
She's on a competitive mark on last year's best form and kicked off this campaign with an encouraging run at Newmarket, but she flopped at York in June last time (1m2f, good to soft; upset in stalls) and it's hard to be overly confident on the back of that. |

Acts on any ground and was beaten less than 2l when seventh of 17 on last month's Newmarket reappearance (1m, good), but she is still 6lb above her last winning mark and 1m2f just appears to stretch her. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
All of his seven wins have been over shorter trips but he produced a strong finish when a 2l second over C&D (good) 18 days ago; on unchanged mark and has possibilities if he can find some extra spark. |
12/1 |

2nd 5 (4) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Seven wins, all on good to firm over 6f and 7f; record over 1m is less compelling and he was never in the hunt over C&D on last month's reappearance; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
10/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Often came to hand early in the past but is getting on now and has never won first time out; carries a big weight, ideally suited by an easy 7f and today's stiff 1m doesn't appeal as optimal. |
16/1 |
Verdict
Preference is for GEORGE MORLAND, who turned things around when scoring off a reduced mark over C&D 17 days ago and is only 2lb higher than for that brave success. The main danger is Ford Madox Brown, who has been knocking on the door in his last four starts including when runner-up behind the selection here two weeks ago. Most of the others have something to prove but Ralph Beckett’s very lightly raced handicap newcomer Puffing needs watching in the market.[David Moon]
