9st 7lb |
0-6 and having undergone wind surgery and changed stables he has finished out of the frame in two handicaps on the AW since returning in January; return to turf may help, but still has a bit to prove. |

Has run just four times and may have untapped potential; now returns from a second wind operation, having left Henry Candy since fourth of eighth in a Bath maiden (5.7f) last spring; worth market check on handicap debut. |

14th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Three-time course winner who can miss the break; the cheekpieces come off again tonight and he only holds each-way claims for a yard also responsible for War Zone. |

25th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Not at his best at Southwell a fortnight ago but his two previous efforts had suggested he was in fair form; stable going well and he holds each-way claims at this level. |

1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

His C&D win in February was achieved off a 10lb higher mark; out of sorts more recently though and others look safer. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

All nine wins over 6f including three here; 8lb below his last winning mark, but attempts this far for only the second time on his 64th start and didn't prove his stamina in the first. |

He was winning for the ninth time in his career when scoring at Kempton in February (made most); quiet on turf this summer and opposable despite a reduced mark. |

All five wins have came at Chelmsford's Polytrack; on a mounting losing run but didn't fare too badly when fourth of 11 at Southwell (7f) ten days ago. |

Five AW wins, all at Chelmsford (7f-1m, Polytrack); on a 17-race losing run and needs to be much better than on his last three starts. |

Not the easiest to win with but he did get the job done in a big-field handicap at Yarmouth in October (6f, good to soft); solid efforts over C&D the last twice but he will need to pull out a bit more to take this. |

28th Feb 2023 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

C&D winner last February; regularly run well in defeat since and her latest fourth at Lingfield came in a race where the winner rather pinched it; each-way claims once more. |

11th Feb 2023 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Ended her 2022 campaign with a pair of close seconds over 6f/7f at Wolverhampton; each-way possibilities, provided she returns from two-month absence in similar form. |

1st Mar 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Was never nearer than at the finish when runner-up in sole C&D run, a handicap in October, and has continued in form at this level elsewhere since (checked in his run on latest); unlikely to be far away. |

6th 5 (4) |
3rd Feb 2023 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Infrequent winner but he comes here on the back of two good runs, latterly a close third in a similar race over C&D; this might be a touch more competitive but he's still a key player. |

28th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Out of the frame in all five starts; not beaten that far when sixth of 11 (Ballet Blanc second) on turf debut in a similar contest here (7f, good to firm) last month but still hard to fancy. |

Verdict
The most appealing one is ADMIRABLE LAD, who came from quite a long way off the pace for a very creditable third at Southwell a fortnight ago and is probably still on a workable mark. Jack Ryan also comes here after a good effort at Southwell and is second choice, ahead of Lothian.[Chris Wilson]
