C&D winner. Lost her way at the end of 2024 but well treated if a subsequent wind operation has had a positive effect (also tongue tied first time).

Well beaten in 2 runs over longer trips since returning for new trainer Liam Bailey. It remains to be seen whether this significantly shorter trip makes any difference.

Forecasts

Concert Boy (9/4), Just Typical (3/1), Urban Dandy (11/2), Balqaa (15/2), Wheres The Crumpet (9/1), Odd Socks Havana (10/1), Martin's Brig (14/1), Pop Favorite (22/1), Likeashadow (22/1), On The Bubble (50/1), Pilgrim Of Culture (50/1)

Verdict

CONCERT BOY can take full advantage of Warren Fentiman's 7 lb claim and land a third course win of 2025. Odd Socks Havana knows where the winning post is over this C&D and is next on the list ahead of Urban Dandy, who went close in a classified event here last week.
