His 2025 campaign, where he won six times in the first half of the year, was always going to be a tough act to follow; 0-9 this time round but there have been some fine runs along the way; drops back into Class 5 company this time and a big run looks likely.

First two wins at 6f but it was only a matter of time before she won over 7f and was a clear winner over this C&D recently (good; fourth has won big-field York race since); up 5lb but on the crest of a wave.

Nine-race maiden, placed in 7f handicaps on two of his last three outings; latest was at this track (good to firm) where his head carriage in first-time cheekpieces seemed to suggest he had second thoughts but he did run on, so this first crack at 1m now looks in order.

Both her wins have come at Newcastle (6f and 7f); she has finished second in 7f classified events on her last three starts but she will need to raise her game to take this; the return to Newcastle and switch to blinkers could spark extra though.

Not in the same form as he was in May and June last year but he's on a lowly mark now and, after being pushed along from some way out, he did stick well to the task when fourth over C&D (good to firm) recently; form case to be made down in grade.
