Won twice and placed three times in five runs during autumn last season, most recently finishing second of 11 in 6f handicap at Newmarket (9/2) 7 months ago, keeping on well despite not settling fully. Goes without any headgear.
|
Consistent performer who runs well over both 5f and 6f. Landed 8-runner handicap at Nottingham (4/1) 25 days ago when forcing the pace and always holding on. Has to be taken seriously up 4 lb.
|
Winner over this trip at Southwell in October. Returned to form when fourth of 20 in a 6f handicap at York (22/1) 4 days ago fitted with first-time cheekpieces. Enters calculations from the same mark eased in class.
|
Third on reappearance over 6f handicap at Catterick before winning over same C&D in April. Latest run at Carlisle (7/2) 16 days ago easy to excuse given she was badly hampered twice. Merits consideration.
|
In top form for some time now, including two wins at Newcastle. Second of 8 in 6f handicap at Nottingham (3/1) 25 days ago, helping force the pace and keeping on well in the final furlong. Has to be taken seriously up just 1 lb.
|
Successful twice on turf this spring and very easy to excuse fifth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (3/1 favourite) 11 days ago, enduring a nightmare passage and finishing with running left.
|
Only win came on AW last November. Fourth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (33/1) 9 days ago, beaten 6¼ lengths in stronger company. This a more suitable assignment but others still preferred.
|
Down in the weights and took advantage in a 5-runner handicap at Lingfield (2/1) 4 days ago, kept up to work. Seen to good effect on that occasion but he escapes a penalty, so must be a major player.
|
Shaped well when fourth of 11 at Catterick (6f) in April and not seen to anything like best effect when last of 9 in handicap at Catterick (8/1) 42 days ago, stumbled at start and not given a hard time. Back down to 6f with cheekpieces reapplied, should be seen to better effect.
|
Won a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in April. Finished fourth of 12 in handicap at Ascot (13/2) 25 days ago, dwelt at start but stuck to his task as though still in good order.
|
Runner-up in novice event on soft ground last summer, but finished last of 6 in handicap at Carlisle (14/1) 16 days ago, never involved and eased off. Plenty to prove at present.
|
Novice winner in October 2023 but regressive in handicaps since, finishing last of 10 in at Newcastle (66/1) 109 days ago, weakening over 1f out. First run after wind-op and switches to turf.

Forecasts
Mart (10/3), Dicko The Legend (4/1), Sacred Falls (9/2), Emperor Caradoc (13/2), Hectic (15/2), Lord Abama (9/1), Harry's Halo (10/1), One More Dream (14/1), Animate (22/1), Cash In (22/1), Flag Of Love (50/1), Neapolitan (100/1)
MART confirmed his return to form when winning at Lingfield 4 days ago and given he escapes a penalty for that, his follow-up claims appear to be bright. Emperor Caradoc impressed when making all at Nottingham last time and poses the main danger, while the consistent Lord Abama has been in the frame in 6 of his last 7 starts.
