11st 7lb |
Fairly useful in bumpers in 2022 but off 718 days before pulling up at Lingfield (2m3f, soft; 33-1) on hurdle debut last month; entitled to have improved for that and likely to make his mark over hurdles at some point given his bumper ability but probably best watched at present; tongue-tie added. |

Won easily here in November and then ran well under a penalty on his return visit in a race that's worked out well (winner promising; third and fourth successful since); should be hard to beat. |

Half-brother to the smart Flat stayer Coltrane; promising fourth of 14 at Worcester and hugely on top over C&D three weeks later; gives at least 7lb all round but remains one to take very seriously. |

Started off for Lizzie Quinlan with three pretty good efforts last summer (one over C&D) and is versatile regarding ground; returned from layoff with quiet run in July but has possibilities here if that outing brought him on. |

Came good over hurdles in low-grade Southwell handicap (2m, good) in June and has remained in good nick since (2m-2m5f) but others in this line-up have stronger form and/or more potential. |

Southwell winner in June (2m, good) but was no match for Parikarma next time and again wasn't at his best when a beaten favourite at Perth; cheekpieces are replaced by a hood that hasn't done wonders for him previously; stamina to prove over this far. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |

Got up on the line to bag 1m4f AW classified event in March but he's made little impact in two subsequent handicaps and is 0-7 here. |

10th 8 (3) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Better known as a hurdler these days, but he made a successful return to the Flat when narrowly landing a classified event at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) in March; never involved in a C&D handicap last time but that was against a pace bias and he has claims if things go more to plan this time. |

7th 11 (9) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |

Better known as a hurdler these days, but he made a successful return to the Flat when narrowly landing a 0-50 classified event at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; this will be harder, but he remains unexposed on the AW. |

Three places before stopping quickly and pulling up at Newton Abbot (3m2f, heavy; handles that ground) last time and his jumping wasn't the best; not overly appealing from 5lb out of the weights. |

24th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Pretty consistent over fences and hurdles on good/good to soft ground this season and has slipped to a good mark; campaigned mainly at around 2m but has won over an extended 2m3f; probably won't be far away. |
5/2 |

5th 8 |
1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |

Seemed in good form over fences before the turn of the year and reportedly suffered an overreach on his return to hurdling at Musselburgh; on a competitive mark. |
12/1 |

5th 2 |
1st Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Fair efforts in the autumn across first three chase starts, finishing second last time (2m, good) despite not jumping well; on a handy mark on last season's best hurdle form; could be a contender now back in this sphere. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Made a good start over fences for new connections, winning at Carlisle (2m, good) in October and second in a Grade 2 novice at Ascot (2m3f, soft); mistakes crept in when below that level twice since and he now reverts to hurdling; sixth of 17 in this last year off an identical mark. |

3rd 1 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Made a good start over fences for new connections, winning at Carlisle (2m, good) in October and finishing second in a Grade 2 novice at Ascot (2m3f, soft); let down by his jumping in competitive handicap at Cheltenham last time but he's in shallower waters here and should be thereabouts. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 122 switched to fences this term for new yard and the form has received a few boosts; ran well on the figures, albeit no match for winner, in Grade 2 at Ascot (2m3f, soft) most recently; brings solid claims back to handicap level. |

29th Jan 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Also hooded at Huntingdon and showed some ability in finishing midfield, 11l off the winner; others have shown more, however. |
25/1 |
Verdict
Ledders and Zonisty are armed with experience of the track but they have to concede plenty of weight to some promising types. ELOGIO looked good when making all at Aintree and he’s bred to be effective on the AW. Mr Mackay (second choice) was ahead of Cloud Dancer at Cheltenham, though the latter could find plenty on that form.[Alistair Jones]
