J: David Probert

T: Michael Bell

Won a soft-ground maiden in 2023 but peak efforts have been on good in the last 13 months; unraced here but scored twice over 1m2f at the similar Chester track, including on his only start this season; all three handicap wins were in tight finishes, but he's gone up just 3lb since latest and is likely to be seriously involved if he goes on the ground.

C&D winner (made most) on reappearance at this meeting last year and, from four return visits, he placed twice last July; ended the campaign with a career best to win at York (1m2f, good; came from midfield) in October, which sees him raised 6lb today but he has to be in serious calculations.

Record of 1-5 in France then 0-7 in Ireland; midfield in York handicap (1m2f) on stable/seasonal debut when the 150-1 rank outsider; perhaps best watched unless the market signals go the other way.

Inconsistent individual but he was placed in a French Group 2 when trained there in 2024; beat a total of two horses in his last four starts for Joseph O'Brien and left that yard for 8,000gns in October; subsequently gelded and makes his stable debut with plenty to prove.

A few of last year's efforts suggest this sort of mark is within reach; never threatened when favourite for the C&D handicap won by Radiant Beauty on reappearance but was caught further back than ideal the way that race went; the hood she's worn since her second start is off today; still not fully exposed.

Off the mark in 1m2f Newmarket maiden last May; the Sandringham over C&D last June was a brutal start to her handicap career but a strong-finishing fifth of 12 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good) next time, when blocked in her run, suggested this mark was within reach; had excuses on last two starts and has a big run in her under favourable conditions.

Starspangledbanner colt who looked a good prospect when making a winning debut in 1m Newbury novice in October; 20-1, last of eight in Greenham Stakes there on his return; remains with plenty of potential and well worth another chance.

Scored quite tidily at Newbury (1m, soft) in sole 2yo start; perhaps not crying out for this drop in trip, especially if the ground isn't so slow, and it should be noted that all of his future major entries are over middle distances; otherwise brings potential to Group level.

Six-time AW winner but he's 0-11 on turf and has struggled at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) and Hamilton (1m5f, good) in last two runs; now drops back into a Class 4 event but he has plenty to prove back at this trip.

In need of the experience when second of five in a 1m maiden at Doncaster (soft) last October; flattered by his proximity to the idling winner but it was still an encouraging start and today's extra yardage looks a big positive; leading contender.
