Valvano¹⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 97| BF

4/1

Hasn't stood much racing but has looked pretty good when he has made it to the track. 9/2, good fifth of 23 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, heavy). Off 175 days and this rangy type may well have more to come.

Form: 1/2335-

Dual Identity³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 96| D

7/1

Added to fine Sandown record on second start back last season. Respectable seventh of 22 in Lincoln Handicap at Doncaster (8f, good, 40/1) 35 days ago, not ideally placed away from the main action. Back up in trip and can make presence felt.

Form: 95206-7

Aerion Power²³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: H Al Jehani| OR: 96

25/1

25/1, good third of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good), slowly away. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Sir Michael Stoute and interesting to see what new yard can do with him.

Form: 3/01003-

Mutaawid²⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 94| BF

17/2

Continued theme of big race-by-race progress when landing 13-runner novice in first-time blinkers in July. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good, 9/4) and needs to return an improved performer to land this on return from 8 months off. Headgear off.

Form: 592146-

Tony Montana²⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M L W Bell| OR: 94| D

5/1

Won first 2 starts back around a year ago at up to 10.3f. Contested some deep handicaps after and was fifth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good, 9/2) final start. Very capable fresh and returns for in-form yard.

Westerton¹³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A King| OR: 93| D

25/1

Useful on the Flat campaigned over hurdles on 3 of last 4 starts, not really taking to the discipline. Experiment with headgear aborted back on the level.

Form: 29/0037-

(3)

Under The Sun^t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Laura Pearson| T: G & J Moore| OR: 90

125/1

Just a novice win to his name for Hugo Palmer but highly tried on occasions in 2024. Limited impact in a trio of hurdles outings for this yard.

Form: 450790-

Lyric¹⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Ray Dawson| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 88| D

40/1

Maiden winner at Windsor in April 2024. Very good seventh of 17 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden but joined another successful yard.

Form: 2/1607-

(5)

Galyx²⁰⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: J Channon| OR: 87| D

17/2

Novice winner at Windsor a year ago and better than ever when doubling tally in 7-runner handicap (5/1) at Leicester (10f, heavy). Off 6 months but he's unexposed.

Form: 61341-

(11)

Qitaal¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Archie Young⁽⁵⁾| T: C Johnston| OR: 87| BF| D

9/1

Wide-margin Chester winner in September but hit hard for that and unable to be seriously competitive since, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good, 3/1) 19 days ago.

Form: 4715-34

(8)

Sir Lowry's Pass¹⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: R Havlin| T: E Walker| OR: 87| CD

5/2

C&D novice winner in September and shaped well when second at Newbury on handicap debut a month later, well clear of the rest. Open to further improvement as a 4-y-o so lots to like.

Alpha Crucis³⁵

Weight: 9-5| Age: 5

T: G & J Moore J: Rhys Clutterbuck

Forecasts

Sir Lowry's Pass (5/2), Valvano (4/1), Tony Montana (5/1), Dual Identity (7/1), Mutaawid (17/2), Galyx (17/2), Qitaal (9/1), Alpha Crucis (12/1), Westerton (25/1), Aerion Power (25/1), Lyric (40/1), Under The Sun (125/1)

Having won a maiden at this track during the autumn, SIR LOWRY'S PASS cranked it up another notch when an excellent second on handicap debut at Newbury. Returning from 6 months off, there should be plenty more to come from him, so he's preferred to Valvano and Aerion Power.
