5f novice winner for Ed Walker and also ran well in handicaps for that yard, including over C&D; made a winning stable debut at Wolverhampton last month and he should remain competitive despite a 4lb rise.

Form & Verdict
Threw away a winning opportunity by hanging badly right on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton in January but she's raced near the stands' rail at Newcastle and Southwell since and beat another hugely progressive sprinter in good fashion on both occasions; up 7lb in a stronger race but she looks the type to hold her own in better company.

Front-runner; two 5f wins on AW; 0-8 on turf but she didn't go down by much when third at Hamilton (5f, good) this month; she produced a much weaker finish there since, though, and her stamina will be tested on this stiffer track; yard won this in 2025.

Form & Verdict
Looked an extremely difficult ride on his first two starts but he was gelded afterwards and has looked a different proposition this winter, third at Kempton (6f) before two front-running 5f wins at Newcastle and here; hit with a 12lb rise for the latest success and he'll need to improve again to make a winning handicap debut.

Made all when winning his novice from the same stall over C&D as a 2yo; sharply regressive since but showed plenty of zip from a wide stall over 6f last time and this is his first foray into 0-50 company; one to consider.

Promising early 2yo, winning in France on debut before close seconds at Ascot and in the Listed National Stakes at Sandown; progress ground to a halt as the year wore on and he's taking on some improving opponents on his return from four months off.

Started off for Lemos De Sousa with two encouraging AW runs in the spring (5f/6f) and can be excused this month's turf defeat (suffered interference); would appeal more on ground slower than good but has slipped to a tempting mark and may be aided by the refitted blinkers.

3-12 on AW compared to 0-17 on turf but last week's second at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) suggests he can pick up a win on the grass off this sort of mark; has to enter calculations, although any easing of the ground possibly not ideal.

All three wins have been on the AW at Wolverhampton over 5f but he caught the eye finishing strongly for fourth at Thirsk (5f, good; Irish Dancer was second) nine days ago; possibly an unfortunate loser on that occasion having been hampered against the rail and and could make amends.
