Two wins last summer (5f, good/good to firm) and didn't see out 6f when third of six on recent reappearance at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); has run well on slow ground in the past and he's a key player back down to 5f.

J: Ryan Sexton

T: Julie Camacho

Often inclined to pull hard over this trip in the past and was kept to 5f last year, when winning three times; undergone wind surgery since last seen six months ago and will need to settle in tonight's small field if he's to have a chance off this mark.

C&D winner; three turf victories this year, the latest in a Class 3 at Hamilton in August; disappointing back at Hamilton in September when soft ground shouldn't have been an excuse; the latest run raises a question now.

Runner-up three times in a row on turf (5f, good/good to firm) before midfield finish on AW, and back on song with close third of six to Brummell at Pontefract (5f, good) last time; every chance she'll be in the mix.

Ended 2025 in top form, winning twice at Beverley (5f, soft), but she has looked rusty on both her starts this year; absent another seven weeks since her last run and probably best watched.

In great form on soft ground last autumn but was punished by the assessor for a Listed effort that possibly flatters her; never figured in AW event two months ago; current mark seems difficult.

Prominent racer who won at Redcar (5f, good to firm) and Goodwood (5f, heavy) last summer, but he was around 5l behind Kinswoman at Haydock (5f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in October on final start for Alice Haynes; watch the betting on debut for new trainer.

Two wins this summer (5f, good to firm/heavy), on the second occasion at Glorious Goodwood, and another solid run when close third of six at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) in August last time; this 3yo wears a first-time tongue-tie and can be in the mix once more.

Ex Jim Goldie, now 2lb below the mark he won from at Newcastle (5f; made all) in December; soundly beaten in two starts for this trainer, left trailing (last of eight) behind Woohoo at Musselburgh (5f; 40-1) three weeks ago; revival necessary.

Form & Verdict
Sole handicap win, from eight attempts, came at Southwell (5f, AW) in May on second start for this stable; ran well in three of his four starts since, including twice over 5f on good ground and when getting to within a length of the winner in the 7.45 at Newcastle (5f, AW) yesterday despite being slowly away and bumped at the start; this stiff 5f may be ideal.

Wins have all come on Tapeta and does most racing now at Newcastle; decent second there last time, back up from 5f, but this is stronger and he's far from certain to repeat the effort.

Form & Verdict
Didn't appear to have an issue with 7f when close third at Musselburgh (7f, good) a fortnight ago; however, he looks to be versatile trip-wise, having won over 5.7f at Bath on his stable debut in June, and this stiff 5f could suit; Warren Fentiman's 5lb claim is a plus and cheekpieces go on.

Justified favouritism (6f, good) on seasonal debut, taking Goodwood record to 3-3 and overall strike-rate to 4-12; a possible danger provided his progress can be sustained away from that track.
