9st 9lb

T: Ruth Carr

Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back.

9st 5lb

J: James Sullivan

T: Ruth Carr

He has returned from a six-month break in rude health, winning at Wolverhampton and over C&D (second C&D success) last month and running well in his hat-trick bid at Ripon a fortnight ago; wide draw not ideal for a front-runner but he isn't handicapped out of things; trainer also runs Jojo Rabbit.

J: James Sullivan

T: Ruth Carr

Returned from six months off with a win at Wolverhampton and he followed up with another narrow success at Pontefract (5f, good) 17 days ago; 3lb higher than for his front-running win last time but remains feasibly treated and is tactically versatile; key player for yard that won this in 2023 and 2025.

Form & Verdict
C&D scorer who signed off for 2024 with a good second in 5f Southwell handicap in September; yard is going well so needs considering despite an eight-month absence.

It's now 11 outings since his last victory but he comes here in decent nick, blinkered when fourth of eight in 5f Hamilton handicap eight days ago; he ought to be thereabouts.
