5 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
His only three runs on sand since the end of 2021 have been in class 2 handicaps and this is clearly easier; ran better in the Ayr Bronze Cup than 12th place suggests and not disgraced upped to 7f latest either.

9st 7lb

J: Warren Fentiman

Had been banging at the door prior to his 7f win at Lingfileld last month; a 4lb rise for that win demands more but he has had few chances in this headgear.

J: Warren Fentiman

T: Richard Fahey

All eight wins have been at sprint trips and seven have been on turf; record of 1-17 on AW but he's a reliable type who has been placed on Tapeta (6f) and Polytrack (7f) in last three runs; remains well treated on old form and he should go well again.

J: Ethan Tindall

T: Richard Fahey

1lb lower than for his Hamilton win in July (6f, good) and he has run well in defeat on his last two starts, close up in fourth over C&D ten days ago; Ethan Tindall takes off a useful 7lb and he is more appealing than many; won't mind what the ground does.

6f winner here (C&D record of 2215) and at Southwell during 2024; unable to convert chances off higher marks since and he's now 0-15 in handicaps when racing off marks of 65 or higher; others look better treated.

More prolific on turf but netted her one Polytrack win over this C&D off 14lb lower in 2022; only headed inside the distance in a 0-80 here last month, and drops into a class 5 handicap for the first time.

Seen more regularly on turf and it's over two years since her one AW win (6f) but she's been running well off much-reduced mark of late; shouldn't be too far away if no ill effects from leaving off the headgear.

Two-day turnaround likely excuses his blowout in a Kempton claimer latest (backed into odds-on favouritism); placed on all turf and Polytrack starts before that this autumn and too well treated to leave out.

Normally a fairly consistent sort but that's not been the case in 2026, with Lingfield success (penultimate start) his standout performance; failed to beat a rival latest; hard to support with confidence.

Poor efforts in January are flanked by two wins over 6f, latest at Lingfield when taking AW record to 5-30; back up 3lb but Conor Whiteley takes off 7lb; likely player, provided he remains in form.

Two years and 13 starts since his sole win (7f, soft), and although ahead of Hierarchy in a Polytrack claimer latest he didn't produce enough himself to suggest his turn is near; new career-low mark.

Legend Of Leros

9st 7lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: David Evans

His only win came in a 7f Doncaster maiden as a 2yo; struggled for David Evans thus far but he's dropped 22lb since August and many of those runs have come over an inadequate 6f; the booking of Rossa Ryan and the addition of a visor point to a better showing this evening; confidence would increase if backed.

Form & Verdict
Wolverhampton (AW) and Windsor (heavy) novice wins the last twice came over 5f, although her future likely lies over further based on pedigree; way more progressive than any here and mark looks fine.

5f winner here as a 3yo whose losing run is up to 14, but she has finished runner-up on the Kempton Polytrack (7f/1m) the last twice; up 1lb but still high on the list with a first-time visor replacing cheekpieces.
