Form: 295822 D BF

Last run: 16 days

W: 9st 7lb

4 yo Gelding

OR: 67

Form & Verdict
Sole win in 6f novice at Newcastle as 3yo; yard's handicappers often progress well but this one, despite being in good form, has yet to look ahead of his mark; not impossible he'll improve for the switch to Polytrack.

Won a couple of 5f AW handicaps in January; fully effective at 6f but he needs to leave a couple of low-key runs behind him now back on turf.

Ran poorly at Newcastle last month but he had been in good form beforehand, winning over C&D and at Chelmsford in January; holds Forever Noah on the Chelmsford run and could bounce back after a short break.

4 yo Gelding

OR: 63

Form & Verdict
Modest strike-rate but he wasn't on a bad mark on yard debut at Bath (5f) last week and he made all to win with a little up his sleeve; his best Tapeta form suggests he can make a go of it under a penalty on first Polytrack run, with this sharp 6f unlikely to be a problem.

C&D win last May and followed up at Lingfield (6f; both good to firm) one week later; now 14lb lower so he has handicapping claims, for all his recent efforts need bettering; stable also runs Cabeza De Llave.

On the downgrade now but placed over C&D on two of his last three appearances; no match for Desdemona when second on latter occasion but now 11lb better off; can make his presence felt.

4 yo Filly

OR: 59

Form & Verdict
Has had a tremendous year and she added to earlier wins, including a C&D classified and a Wolverhampton handicap, when scuttling well clear at Chepstow (6f) last week; likely due a bigger rise than today's 5lb penalty; every chance.

Course winner over 5f on heavy ground in September and she has also won on good to firm; ended last season out of sorts and she was well held on her return at Leicester (6f, good) 16 days ago; hood is removed and tongue-tie is applied; bit to prove.

Turf wins have come on stiff tracks, at 6f and 5f; had another good season in 2025 but it ended quietly in the autumn and she now has a hood refitted for the first time in over two years; has a bit to prove.

J: Finley Marsh

Won on fast ground at Chepstow in July and was successful in the mud here (5f) last month; only 2lb higher than for that last success but she's struggled over C&D in last two runs and needs to bounce back near best.

Form & Verdict
Often leads; has C&D form but hasn't run on the AW since June 2023 and her recent turf efforts haven't been encouraging.
