Rajapour²⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 85| D

9/1

Useful in France but well held both runs for David O'Meara last autumn. Would need to see market support to consider on return.

Cadarn^t²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 84| CD

6/5

11/2, career best when winning 8-runner C&D handicap (good to firm) on reappearance 28 days ago. Lightly raced type from a leading stable so there should be more to come.

Savvy Kingdom¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Sanderson| T: S Woods| OR: 81| D

11/1

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (1m) 17 days ago. Needs to prove he's as effective on turf (both wins on AW) but too soon to suggest he won't be.

Form: 3017/31

Shaped well on a few occasions last year and came good in 7-runner handicap at Pontefract (1m, good) on reappearance 19 days ago. Retains handicapping scope off 5 lb higher.

Tropez Power^b1³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 77| D

6/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good, 14/1) 37 days ago. Blinkers on first time.

Forecasts

Cadarn (6/5), Leadenhall (5/2), Tropez Power (6/1), Rajapour (9/1), Savvy Kingdom (11/1), Bowood (18/1)

This may be dominated by the 3 last-time-out winners, with George Boughey's CADARN taken to make light of a 3 lb rise for last month's C&D success and prove too strong for Savvy Kingdom and Leadenhall.
