Form & Verdict
Handicapper quick to ease off this winter and things fell ideally from a wide stall at Lingfield ten days ago, having previously bumped into one there over 6f; a 5lb rise demands more but she may well be up to the job in a handicap lacking depth.

Dual 5f Polytrack winner (once here) this year; not discredited in higher-grade company over 6f here last month and probably still on a workable mark for this drop back to her optimum trip; must be considered.

Form & Verdict
Two wins, a second, a third and three fourths to his name in seven runs over C&D and boasts a decent record at this time of the years; chased home a subsequent winner under Jack Callan here a fortnight ago off the same mark and goes on the shortlist.

Conditions to suit and he ran well in defeat at Chelmsford (5f) in February/March; didn't run badly in a stronger C&D handicap last week and he can feature prominently back into 0-55 company.

Landed a gamble over C&D 12 months ago (in this combination of accessories for the first time); ended 2025 quietly and he was well beaten on last month's return to action (no accessories); has plenty to prove but it wouldn't be a total bolt from the blue were he to revive.
