Smart colt who kickstarted 2023 with victory in 6f Doha conditions event. Below par thereafter though, 5¼ lengths seventh of 9 to Lezoo in listed race (12/1) at Newmarket (6f, good) in August. Gelded since and interestingly re-united with Oisin Murphy ahead of return/AW debut.
|
C&D winner. 13¾ lengths fourteenth of 15 to Art Power in Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot (6f, soft) in October, held up and never threatening. Absent since but he does boast a good record on artificial surfaces and market could well prove a useful guide as to expectations.
|
Stepped up on comeback run this time last winter when winning class 2 handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 12 months ago. Cracking fourth in Wokingham followed in June but form tailed-off in trio of starts on turf/AW thereafter. Needs to hit the ground running back from a break.
|
C&D winner who scored 4 times for Ruth Carr last year and continued good work for new yard, career-best display when winning 13-runner handicap at Ascot (5f) in October. Absent since but worth noting he's gone well fresh in the past. Respected.
|
Dual AW winner who posted a useful effort when second in 6f Ascot Group 3 last May. Lightly raced since, weakening final 1f when fourth of 6 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 40/1) 16 days ago. Assessor has relinquished his grip a little more.
|
Improved performer during light 2023 campaign, successful at Newmarket (6f) prior to a good second in C&D listed event in November. May of needed first start for 12 weeks at Wolverhampton 20 days ago and better expected in refitted hood/first-time tongue tie.
|
Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 7/2, respectable 2½ lengths fourth of 8 to One Night Stand in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 20 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form and handy draw to operate from returned to 6f.
|
Latest win at Kempton (6f) in December and respectable efforts both outings since, third of 6 in handicap at that venue (6f) 16 days ago, weakening last ½f having not settled early. Likelihood of a good pace to aim at here will help.
|
C&D listed winner who added to his impressive career haul when dead-heating in valuable 6f handicap at York's Ebor meeting last year. Mixed bag upon returning on AW in recent months, no threat in C&D Kachy Stakes last month. This more suitable at least.
|
Speedy sort who added to his tally over 5f here in January and came in for a well-judged ride as he repeated the feat at Wolverhampton (5.1f) last month. Seemed to find listed Hever Stakes too much 6 days ago and whilst this more suitable, a well-run race at this trip could stretch him.
|
Enhanced good record on AW when successful at Chelmsford (6f) in October and remained in form since, good second of 6 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 16 days ago. Should be thereabouts again from handy draw.
|
Comes here on a lengthy losing run but hard to knock his consistency, splitting a pair of next-time-out winner when runner-up over 7f here 3 weeks ago. Visor worn then is replaced by blinkers and this 6-y-o should be firmly in the mix back at 6f.

Forecasts
Batal Dubai (7/4), Flaming Rib (7/1), Silky Wilkie (15/2), Baldomero (8/1), Kinta (17/2), One Night Stand (11/1), Chipstead (12/1), Badri (12/1), Rohaan (14/1), Summerghand (18/1), Mums Tipple (33/1), The X O (80/1)
Plenty arrive with claims and it could pay to side with BALDOMERO. He arrives on a long losing run but turned in another solid display when beaten on the nod over 7f here 3 weeks ago (form has been franked) and with the return to sprinting holding no fears, all looks set fair for another big run in first-time blinkers. Silky Wilkie, from a handy draw and back at 6f, can be expected to feature, with Batal Dubai and Flaming Rib (gelded since his last run) just a couple of others to consider.
- Baldomero8/1
- Silky Wilkie15/2
- Batal Dubai7/4
