Harswell Dandy

9st 9lb

J: Jack Doughty

T: Roger Fell

Both wins have come in four-runner events, the latest a Wolverhampton nursery (5f, Tapeta) early last month; fair fourth of 14 at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) three weeks later (just over 2l behind Facoulty), but the return to a stiff track may not be ideal.

Only 2lb higher than when landing 5f Wolverhampton nursery three weeks ago but that small-field race did rather fall into her lap after the leaders went too fast; things aren't sure to work out as favourably this time.

Form & Verdict
Up 11lb for wide-margin win in first 5f handicap, at Chelmsford in August; creditable effort in defeat against one who proved way ahead of his mark there on Saturday; still of interest on Tapeta debut.

5f AW winner in Britain in August 2024; failed to fire in 2025 and hasn't looked a winner in waiting in three runs for this stable; dropped 6lb for heavy defeat at Gowran latest (1m, gd-yld); can only watch down in trip.

J: Robbie Colgan

T: Matthew J Smith

Achieved a peak rating of 70 in 2024 based on consistent form over sprint trips at Chelmsford; regressive last season; has failed to beat a single rival in two Dundalk races; tackles this trio for the first time with a lot to prove.

T: Matthew J Smith

1-15; well enough handicapped on juvenile form when he achieved a peak rating of 70 based on consistent form at Chelmsford; regressive last season; no sign of a revival in form when last of 14 on Irish debut over 7f here two weeks ago.

2 yo Filly

OR: 71

Form & Verdict
First two starts at 6f, worn down late on Kempton AW in the second of them, and showed plenty of speed before winning over Beverley's stiff 5f in July (second won Brighton maiden since); dam acted well here and a likely improver on handicap debut.

Lacks recent match practice, remains on career-high mark and won't have her apparent ideal ground (good to firm) unless the weather lends her a big hand; not the percentage call.

J: Jack Mitchell

Poor draw when fourth behind Clearpoint here in September; dominant display when seeing off seven rivals from the front here three weeks ago; 6lb rise demands another career best but she's on an upward curve.

2 yo Filly

OR: 70

Form & Verdict
Two good 5f runs at Windsor started her career but she hasn't gone on as yet and her finishing effort was weak on AW handicap debut at Lingfield in July (first-time hood, retained); needs more for new surface.

Woodhay Whisper

J: David Probert

T: Jack Jones

Closely matched with Irish Dancer and Street Life on C&D form from two weeks ago when she was short of room late on; all her wins have come at 6f but she's effective at 5f and she should be in the shake-up again.

Won at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last month and has had excuses there on both starts since (wide draw then slow start); however, the drop back to 5f isn't an obvious positive.
