Form & Verdict
Has a patchy record and was well held over C&D last time but he blew the start in that race and this 10yo battled well when beating eight rivals here on his penultimate run; only 2lb higher than for that win and that was his eighth success at this track; shortlisted.

Seventeen wins to his name but he hasn't won on turf for nearly three years and isn't in much form of late; up against it if his current mark of 37 is any guide.

Form & Verdict
Recorded his third course win when finishing well to land a classified event over C&D last month; no joy back here next time but things didn't go his way from a wide draw in that race; still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form and has claims if this sets up for his closing style.

Basholo

9st 9lb

J: Zak Wheatley

T: Tony Culhane & Stella Barclay

Won twice over C&D in late 2025, the latter success coming off a 2lb higher mark; more recent efforts need bettering but this is likely to be run to suit and dropping back into a 0-60 could see her bounce back to form.
