3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Just over 1l behind City Captain over C&D when they made their handicap debuts in September but time has moved on since and he made it two wins from three starts in 2025 when giving weight to a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (7f) last month; up another 3lb; still going the right way.

Three-time winner on the AW in 2025 when previously trained by this yard and returned to some form on his first start since rejoining this stable at Southwell (7f, AW) in May, running on well for second; left the impression he's still in that form at Lingfield 28 days ago but turf is a slight question mark.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

Three 7f wins on Polytrack and Tapeta between April and June in 2025 for this yard; right out of luck for different trainers from November onwards but he fell a long way in the weights and shot home to take a late second at Southwell (7f) 14 days ago; should make hay off current mark, 6lb lower than latest win, if overcoming a wide draw.

0-10; has been running well at 6f and 7f on AW for new yard but hard to call him well treated even though he's slipped a few pounds; vulnerable.

Form & Verdict
Caught the eye of the stewards in one qualifying run, over 7f on Southwell AW in February, but she hasn't achieved a lot since and was nearly 9l behind Adelaide Bay on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f; 40-1) last month; needs major turnaround.

Wide-margin winner of handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in November but it's not been easy in this grade since running well in a higher one at Kempton (7f) in January; needs new tongue-tie to help if he's to overcome in-form rivals.

Fine sprinting family; successful siblings have won on Polytrack and dirt; qualified for an ordinary mark for previous yard and he extricated himself neatly from an awkward position to lead near the line on yard debut at Pontefract (6f) in April; up just 2lb; can progress back at 7f.

The winner of four of his eight starts last year (6f, good or slower); perhaps needed the run on his return to action at Newcastle last month, running respectably in the smaller stands' side group; the more rain to fall the better for him.
