Form & Verdict
Down the field in his first two starts but fared much better when third of nine (behind two useful performers) at Chelmsford in October (6f); gelded and had wind operation since; more to come this year and he's been found a modest event for his return; stable going well.

J: Ryan Sexton

T: Julie Camacho

Front-runner who performed with great credit on all five starts last season, finishing second at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) on his reappearance and beaten just a neck in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) when last seen; has had wind surgery since; no surprise if he makes a bold bid on this return.

J: Rowan Scott

T: Julie Camacho

Front-runner; the winner of four of his last six starts, notably a game effort at Doncaster six days ago (6.5f, good to soft); a 5lb penalty for that hard-fought short-head success demands more but his fine attitude and abundant stamina will stand him in good stead on a rare 6f outing.

Runner-up on Lingfield debut (7f, good to firm) in June 2023 but she's had only five runs since and has struggled in all of them; now drops into a classified event but she finished a 12l tenth on AW in her two runs in the autumn and has lots to prove.

Useful pedigree and she was sent off favourite for her debut at Newbury six weeks ago (7f, soft); couldn't sustain her challenge on that occasion but no surprise to see her leave the run well behind her on today's ground; interesting.

RPR of 54 in her two runs this season, more recently when a 4l third of five at Lingfield (7f, good to firm); still early days for this well-bred filly but she was never involved last time and needs plenty of improvement on this switch to AW.

Her first seven starts (7f-8.5f; five for Archie Watson) weren't brimming with encouragement but she took a good step forward when third of 12 at Newcastle 11 days ago on her drop to 5f; could fare better still as a sprinter and this race is weak; interesting.
