Form & Verdict
Placed on debut at Bath (5f, good) in August and bounced back quickly from a disappointing performance when very respectable sixth of 12 at Nottingham (5f, soft) in September; makes handicap/AW debut after five-month break but has plenty of scope for improvement this year.

Six-time winner, with five on AW and one on turf; well handicapped on his Nottingham win (5f, good) last summer but he's been out sorts in three runs this season and needs a big turnaround.

Come to hand early in previous seasons but hasn't offered much in two runs back this time; now 11lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last summer, which shows how things have gone since; needs a major revival.

J: Edward Greatrex

T: Robert Cowell

Most of his success has come on AW but he showed at Nottingham last spring that he could get the job done on turf (5f, good); looked as though his recent seasonal return would bring him on and his lacklustre end to 2025 has seen him drop to a dangerous mark.

Form & Verdict
Made the frame in two C&D novice races towards end of last year and kept on well to take second behind a next-time winner on last month's handicap debut at Chelmsford (5f); probably still has more to offer; respected.

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Did not need to improve to win Brighton maiden (5.2f, good) in September, his seventh start, and showed better form when close second in C&D novice a few days later; not disgraced in valuable sales race on latest outing but has fitness to prove after 142-day absence.

Looked promising when runner-up on first two 2yo starts, the latter over C&D, but two lesser efforts have followed and last of six on recent handicap debut at Newcastle; needs first-time tongue-tie to make a difference.

Hasn't threatened in first two handicaps (5f, AW) but has had wind op since last start in February and that may help her tap back into the promise of her first two runs last year (5f, good to firm/AW); contender if so.

Form & Verdict
Scored at Bath for Richard Hannon on last summer's nursery debut and was placed on next four outings (one over C&D); didn't fire at Newcastle a fortnight ago, after a break, but has possibilities if that outing has brought him on; hooded for first time.

Runner-up off her basement handicap mark on stable debut at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) in June and also ran well when fourth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; not really favoured by today's weights but can give another good account.
