Form & Verdict
0-7 but he went close in a five-runner field at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in June on his second handicap start and ran respectably when fifth of 15 at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last time, albeit soundly beaten; this is less competitive and he could be involved in first-time blinkers.

Edwin Hubble

9st 9lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Brian Meehan

He was sporting first-time blinkers when beating two rivals under Oisin Murphy in C&D handicap last month; again favourite when solid third at Newbury (1m2f, also good to firm) three weeks ago; respected from the same mark.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Brian Meehan

Had to work hard in order to make it eighth-time lucky in a three-runner contest at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) this month; up 3lb but still shortlisted if the headgear continues to work.

Form & Verdict
Neck runner-up at Southwell (1m, AW) last November on second and final 2yo start and it was the same outcome at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago on his reappearance, when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained); brings potential to this handicap debut and could have a big say.

Runner-up three times before landing a four-runner novice at Newcastle (1m2f; blinkered first time) a fortnight ago; needs taking seriously back on turf.

J: Robert Havlin

T: John & Thady Gosden

Down the field on his debut but he has finished second in his next three starts, beaten a neck at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) on his handicap debut four weeks ago; new blinkers replace cheekpieces this time; just about sets the standard.

Form & Verdict
Nursery wins on final two starts last year (7f/1m, AW) and he returned to form when third of six at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month; today's longer trip could be within range for this Without Parole colt and he might not be far away.

Off the mark when winning at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last November and followed up over this C&D next time; only 2lb higher than for that most recent success but he faded into fifth behind Starlight Time here 16 days ago; each-way claims.

Ended 2025 with a pair of AW wins, the second coming over C&D off 5lb lower; the handicapper has been in command this year but he's not discounted back on AW.
