5/1
C&D winner. Won 6-runner handicap at Newcastle (7f) 6 days ago. Well on top at the finish and a 5 lb penalty shouldn't prevent another prominent showing.

15/2
Unreliable type. C&D winner. Latest win in Class 5 at Kempton in October. Found out in a couple of Class 4s since but capable in this grade. Draw tricky for one who often makes running.

10/3
Six-time course winner, including a 1m hat-trick last spring. Returned from a break with a fine second over 1m here 17 days ago. First 7f run since his debut and he should be quick enough to cope.

Latest win at Chelmsford in October. 9/1, too keen in blinkers when thirteenth of 14 there (6f) 17 days ago, weakening when met some trouble. The blinkers are left now.

6/1
Three wins from 14 runs last year. Eleven runs since last win in 2025. Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Lingfield (7f) 13 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive.

Won back to back at Doncaster and Newcastle (AW) last summer but has posted 2 lesser efforts since. A bounce back is needed.

Fair maiden. First run since leaving Marcus Tregoning when seventh of 9 in C&D handicap 7 days ago. That was his first outing for 6 months so may come on for it. The type this yard will get wins from at some point.

Forecasts

Down To The Kid (10/3), Gressington (5/1), Tadreeb (6/1), Panelli (7/1), How Impressive (15/2), Sensorium (8/1), Ashen (10/1), Judgment Call (12/1), Packetofbiscuits (12/1), Havana Sky (20/1), Tough Enough (22/1), Finn Ironside (33/1)

Verdict

This is DOWN TO THE KID's first 7f start since his debut but this 1m course specialist certainly isn't short of speed and is taken to build on his recent encouraging return from a break. Monday's Newcastle scorer Gressington is second choice ahead of Ed Dunlop's Havana Sky.
