Form & Verdict
Did well to keep going when third of 11 at Doncaster (1m, good) in July having (not for the first time) failed to settle; that took his record to 0-14 since joining this yard and he will need to relax better if he is to come out on top.

Ended 2025 in good order and he was a good second over 1m here on his return in January; three heavy defeats have followed and there is likely to be other pace for him to contend with today; drops in class but others appeal more.

Has had a couple of close calls over C&D this winter but he's lost his way in last two starts and was tailed off at Newcastle (1m) three weeks ago; has something to prove and he needs a major revival.

Ended his 2025 campaign in good form over the extended 7f at Ffos Las, recording an account-opening win prior to a respectable effort; the question is whether he can transfer the ability to AW on reappearance.

Form & Verdict
Well suited by soft ground as she showed when winning at Chepstow (1m) in June; a bit of a tame effort when fourth of five over C&D (soft) 11 days ago, but that was a better race than this one; record in Class 6 company since March reads 4124112; respected.

Three C&D wins, the latest in a classified event this month in a refitted hood; failed to get to grips with the leaders here six days later but she's had a longer break this time; can be very competitive if race pans out.

Losing run up to 14, but she won two handicaps over C&D in the spring of last year and ran well to finish third of ten in a similar race to this over the same trip in January; not the best of draws, but respected on her best form.

12-race maiden; finished second in her two course runs as a 2yo; well handicapped on last season's best and she has undergone wind surgery during her 176-day absence; should be winning races this year but this perhaps not the day to catch her.

On reduced mark and he returned from a break with a good second behind an improver at Bath (1m, good) three weeks ago; has claims if he can back that up but he's still a maiden 16 starts and has stamina to prove at this new trip.
