J: Rossa Ryan

T: Alan King

2-6 on Flat, with the second win registered over C&D (good) last August; two wins among his five hurdle races this season, including latest start, so he should be primed to run well again today.

J: Tom Bellamy

Dual Flat winner who progressed again to edge out Talakan at Ludlow in February and, although it was a rather sobering defeat at Warwick, that was against older opposition; good ground won't bother him but others might be on kinder marks.

Acts on any ground; dual Flat winner who has shown steady progress in juvenile hurdles, most recently making all at Ludlow (2m) where held on by a neck from Talakan (declared 2:10); one of the main players.

J: Oisin Orr

T: Hugo Palmer

Eight-race maiden; placed twice over 1m at Ffos Las when cheekpieces were added during the summer but two lesser efforts over about 1m2f have followed, albeit with the latter on heavy ground; visored last time; cheekpieces back on today; others are more persuasive.

2 yo Gelding

OR:

Form & Verdict
Irish gelding who is a son of Golden Horn; showed promise with his staying-on second at Galway (8.5f, yielding) last month; the easy winner has since performed well in Group 2; open to improvement and looks one of the main contenders.

Off the mark on most recent of four attempts hurdling when making all in 2m Gowran maiden (heavy) last month in first-time tongue-tie, first two pulling well clear; had previously run well here on yielding; upped in trip now and good bit more likely needed.

Rated 65 after four Flat runs for John Nallen; took a nice step forward on latest of three attempts hurdling, keen enough and forcing pace until outstayed late in Punchestown maiden on New Year's Eve; leading Fred Winter contender Saratoga was in third; tongue-tied; yard's overall form a concern.

Ended last season firmly on the up with gutsy success in 1m4f Newmarket handicap in October; this low-mileage son of Sea The Stars has more to offer in 2026 and is well in the mix despite dropping in trip and up 6lb for his return.

Gelded in May and firmly back on track with waiting tactics at Redcar (second) and Sandown (last-gasp win) on next two outings, both 1m2f on good to firm; raced more prominently when soundly beaten at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f) on latest outing; needs to resume improvement over new trip.

Never-dangerous sixth at Nottingham (1m, heavy) last week but may do better with the experience under his belt; bred to be suited by this scenario, being the brother of a stablemate who recorded sole win over 1m on soft ground here.

Exposed maiden who's had plenty of chances in handicaps and goes in a first-time tongue-tie/first-time cheekpieces off the back of a poor effort last time (maybe didn't stay a stiff 1m3f); has to bounce back.

3yo who kept on for fair third at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in May on second handicap start; backward step at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) ten days later but in a slowly run race; based on his penultimate run he could be suited by this stiff 1m3f; brother Candonomore is a soft-ground winner.

Five-race maiden who shaped with some promise when sticking on for third at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm; Arundel second) ten days ago; didn't see daylight over 2f out that day and has the size and scope to do a good deal better; interesting.
