J: Pat Cosgrave

Both wins came over 1m2f on turf in the summer of 2024, but he was only beaten a neck over this C&D in February and is now 3lb lower; each-way claims if able to recapture that form.

J: Mr Lucas Murphy

Went close at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) for Alan King in February but dropped out quite tamely on recent stable debut (2m, AW) and this shorter trip may not be ideal for him nowadays.

A dual 1m4f scorer who signed off for Alan King with a solid fourth of ten in 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton in March; has since changed hands for 10,000gns and needs to hit the ground running for his new yard.

Kept on for fair third in first-time blinkers (retained) at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month, when jockey said saddle slipped; now 0-6 but not ruled out on the back of that latest effort.

Sole win came in a 2m AW handicap for Dominic Ffrench Davis last June but he went very close to a second on just his second outing for Michael Wigham when short-headed at Lingfield (extended 2m, good to firm) under Alexandra Egan 17 days ago; the first-time visor he wore at Lingfield is retained.

Form & Verdict
Won on handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in June and fair third of six at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago on first turf start; the drop back in trip may help and he's one to consider.

Kept on gamely to cause 100-1 shock over C&D on handicap debut in June and has held his form pretty well since; can sometimes race a bit too freely but probably won't be far away.

3 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
No better than fifth across her three 2yo starts, and beaten about 6l when fourth of nine on last month's handicap and seasonal debut over C&D (good to firm); however, she faded late and may have needed the run, and her attractive pedigree provides hope she's capable of better.
