9st 2lb |
Trained in Britain last season and won a 7f Leicester nursery on good to soft; made some ground from off the pace in a 7f Naas handicap a month ago but was beaten 4.5l; more needed. |

Won a Leicester nursery (Gd/sft) over this trip when trained in UK last season; disappointing on AW next time; relocated to this yard since and looks capable of running well if back to best. |

9st 8lb |
Won Chepstow nursery (1m, good) in September but has not seen out any of her races since, tailed off at Southwell (visored) when last seen in December; needs to settle better in a first-time hood. |

Possible that softening ground didn't suit at a short price last time (hung both ways on similar going at Ffos Las in the summer); is exposed now but should fare better. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Raced exclusively over 1m2f this year and has come 9lb down the weights; has hung left more than once and first-time headgear will need to prove the answer if she's to make it 12th time lucky. |

Ten-race maiden who isn't improving but her third at Brighton (1m2f, good) in April showed she may be capable of picking something up. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Flat and hurdle winner who showed signs of a revival when runner-up at Ffos Las (1m4f, soft) in August but she was well held here next time; bit to prove again after that and she's untried beyond 1m4f on the Flat. |
6/1 |

7th 7 (10) |
14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Returned from break with two below-par runs in July but last month's Ffos Las second (1m4f, soft) was much better, and she was a heavy-ground C&D winner off today's mark last autumn; high on the list. |
4/1 |

29th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has possibly found good ground on the quick side of late but she was a wide-margin winner on heavy (1m2f) last October and won over hurdles (good to soft) the following month so any rain would suit; not ruled out. |

9st 0lb |
Cheekpieces were on for both of his wins in the summer of 2024 but he's generally struggled in that aid since and trailed the field on three of his last four starts; newly fitted visor needs to prompt a big revival. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a C&D classified event in January; too keen for his own good over 1m here since and can fare better at 7f. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Came good at 13th attempt, with 7f course win in this grade three weeks ago; enjoyed run of the race in that slowly run event and his overall profile remains unconvincing but he should be fine back at 1m. |
7/4 |

1st 2 (4) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; some headway from the rear when fifth at Wolverhampton (7f; 25-1) on penultimate start but took a backward step over 6f here five weeks ago; others preferred. |
20/1 |
Verdict
Arizona Desert ran very well on her recent stable/nursery debut and will pose a potent threat if that 7f AW form can be transferred here. However, there was nearly 5l back to the third when CHRIS’S MATE was second on his nursery debut at Yarmouth and Robyn Brisland’s colt is selected to go one better. He’s proven over 1m on turf slower than good and could still be well handicapped after a 2lb nudge.[Chris Wilson]
