Rather lost his way for Michael Attwater and finished a long way behind Dreambird Dolly for his new yard at Salisbury recently; hard to find a reason why he'll turn things round.

Gained sole success off a higher mark but isn't particularly solid on 2026 efforts, both in the spring; left Michael Attwater since; possibly best watched unless the betting speaks positively.

Form & Verdict
Added to his Wolverhampton win when making all for a 5l success at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last month; well held at Bath (5.6f classified) next time but he had competition for the lead and remains feasibly treated on his penultimate form; could bounce back again and he's a key player.

Two wins in Britain; runner up on good ground in two of last three starts for Shelley Birkett; bought for just 2,400gns in July and is unraced on slower than good; best watched on stable debut.

Has a patchy profile and was out the back at Brighton last time but he finished runner-up in a Yarmouth handicap (6f, good) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and his last win was over C&D.

Most of his best efforts have come from the front but he just raced in touch when second at Yarmouth (6f) on latest outing, his best show this year; well handicapped if judged on peak 2025 efforts.

3 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Shaped with some promise in her three qualifying runs; market springer into 13-2 on recent handicap debut at Yarmouth (5f, good) but was always in rear and finished a remote sixth of eight; still early days and tongue-tie is now added but she needs to leave that latest form well behind.

Best form when coming from off the pace, as when a wide-margin winner at Redcar (5f, good) last month; has possibly found slower surfaces against her since (reared start latest) and considered in a race that's likely to be run to suit.

Opened account in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (6f, soft) in June and has made the frame on all three starts since, most recently when third at Lingfield (6f AW) a fortnight ago; also suited by Tapeta; probably won't be far away.

In good form over 6f on turf since blinkered, winning at Yarmouth in June and going down narrowly there last month; having first AW run since before Christmas but he was in good form then and a bold show looks likely.

Off the mark when winning in first-time blinkers over C&D last month (soft) and shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 12 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) one month ago, leaving the impression he'll be well suited to stepping back up in trip; contender.

Sole win from 18 starts came on her first outing for Michael Keady last February, but she lost her way for that stable and finished last of six in a classified at Lingfield on her debut for this yard 15 days ago; visor replaces cheekpieces.

Recorded an RPR of 70 when winning a C&D handicap last February on her first run for Michael Keady; little to shout about afterwards but she starts out for a new stable (same owner) off a reduced mark; drawn widest but a revival could be imminent.

Form & Verdict
0-10 but she had some close calls in AW handicaps for James Tate, including off 2lb higher at Wolverhampton (5f) in January; not at best in last two runs but she's still unexposed on turf and needs watching in market back from a break.
