Won on debut last summer and much better form when placed in the Group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster and the Group 3 Cornwallis at Newmarket (both 5f, good to soft) in the autumn. Smart effort will be needed under clear top weight but still can't discount.
|
Made it 3 wins from 5 starts when holding on by a head in a blanket finish over C&D (Blue Prince third) over C&D 26 days ago. Only nudged up 1 lb but he was suited by the way things unfolded last time.
|
Improved since cheekpieces added, winning twice over 5f on AW last autumn. Better effort in 6f Meydan conditions races on turf this year when fourth of 10 3 weeks ago. Interesting back on AW.
|
Made it 3 wins from 4 starts with a useful effort to see off 4 rivals in a 5f Southwell handicap 6 weeks ago. Most progressive but the outside stall could be tricky here.
|
Progressed well since joining this yard, landing 6f handicaps at Southwell and Newcastle this winter. Shaped well when a close third to Brave Empire in a tactical race over C&D 26 days ago. Should get a stronger gallop to aim at this time.
|
Length fourth of 5 to Brave Empire in C&D handicap 26 days ago. Must improve.
|
Four wins from 7 runs last year, including 6f handicaps on both AW starts. 5 lb higher in a stronger race on return so he'll need improvement to keep the unbeaten AW record intact.
|
Promising individual. Winner of novice at York (6f) in September (form boosted). Had excuses when well held in valuable sales race over 7f there on heavy ground final start. Remains capable of better on this handicap and AW debut.
|
Latest win at Nottingham in October. 8/1, 3 lengths last of 5 to Brave Empire in C&D handicap 26 days ago. Others are more obvious.
|
Resumed progress and showed good turn of foot to win C&D handicap in January. Met trouble when 3 lengths sixth at Kempton 12 days ago, finishing with running left. Worth another chance.
|
Lightly-raced course winner. Likely unsuited by testing ground when well held in York nursery on final 2-y-o start. Could have more to offer back on an artificial surface.
|
Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Cheekpieces on first time, creditable third of 6 in handicap (5/2) at Newcastle (5f) 22 days ago. Tongue strap on first time.

Forecasts
Photosynthesis (9/2), Rosario (9/2), Billy Webster (5/1), Brave Empire (6/1), Blue Prince (15/2), Salvuccio (17/2), The Coffee Pod (9/1), Beyond Borders (12/1), Mc Loven (16/1), G'day Mate (28/1), Balon D'or (50/1), World Of Darcy (80/1)
A useful 3-y-o handicap. PHOTOSYNTHESIS didn't enjoy the rub of the green at Kempton recently and is worth a chance to show he's still on a good mark. The form of The Coffee Pod's York novice win last autumn is strong and he was presumably unsuited by testing ground when well held there on his final start. Richard Hannon's charge is handily drawn for this handicap debut and can resume his progression and provide the chief threat ahead of Salvuccio and Blue Prince.
