25th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D novice winner in 2023 and he made a winning start for this stable at Lingfield (1m, AW) 12 days ago; respected following a 3lb rise with the visor now replacing cheekpieces. |
5/4 |

9st 6lb |
Winless since landing a 1m novice on Newcastle AW in 2023 but the pick of his Tapeta handicap form since shows he's well treated on yard debut; left the Barrons for £11,000 since last seen; likely to be dangerous if taking to Polytrack. |

11th Oct 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Came from the rear to win Listed race at York (1m2f, good to firm) in July; slowly away and never figured in US Grade 2 (1m3f) six weeks ago but she was an outsider that day and probably ran well; now needs better again. |
10/1 |

1st 4 (7) |
26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten only about 2l when fourth of eight in Listed race at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) in May; stretched by 1m4f at Newmarket subsequently; she might not be far away now back down in distance. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Five wins since December, three of them at this track (including over 1m); 3lb wrong under his penalty but he's never been in better form. |
6/1 |

1st 8 (6) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Four wins, including C&D, this winter and latest Chelmsford run probably not the one to judge him on; that said, he wouldn't look to have much wiggle room off his current mark. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won four times during the winter (7f-1m) and has gone up more than a stone in the weights, having been nudged up another 2lb for last weekend's Lingfield second; won't mind going back up in trip, though, and has a decent chance of adding to his tally. |

ducked right start, raced wide but in touch with leaders, led after 2f, headed over 3f out, dropped to rear over 1f out, soon struggling |

Verdict
This looks tricky, with three of them not having raced for ages and only one bringing a worthwhile piece of form on turf. The latter is Lazarus Dream who made a winning debut on good ground six weeks ago but he has to give weight all round and that might prove tough if VERBIER lives up to her debut win in March. They top the list but Running Star brings a more recent AW recommendation and Parish Councillor scored in February. The market moves should give significant clues.[Richard Austen]
