11/4
Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Haydock in October. Well backed but not seen to best effect when fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 22 days ago, suffering a poor run on home turn. Expected to be bang there eased 1 lb.

10/3
Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. 11/4, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (6f, AW) 4 days ago, fading late on. Not taken lightly back in trip off the same mark.

8/1
C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 30 days ago given she went off too hard. Can go well from an easing mark.

10/3
Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 12/1 and visored for 1st time, went freely when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 22 days ago. Not ruled out if settling better.

Winless since July, 2024 and only sixth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 25/1) 11 days ago. Others appeal more.

Unreliable type but she lost all chance at the start when last of 12 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 17 days ago. Twenty two runs since her last win in 2024.

13/2
A 3-time C&D winner who recorded a good second of 5 after 5 months off in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Very much one to consider with that run under his belt.

Forecasts

Son Of Astar (11/4), Bluebells Boy (10/3), Captain Kinsella (10/3), The Defiant (13/2), Wedgewood (8/1), It's Showtime (17/2), Desdemona (14/1), Manhattan Chute (50/1)

Verdict

SON OF ASTAR was a three-time winner in 2025 and signalled he is ready to strike again when an unlucky-in-running fifth at Wolverhampton last time. Bluebells Boy figures on a handy mark and is next on the list with this return to the minimum trip also a likely plus. Wedgewood, The Defiant and Captain Kinsella all need factoring into this competitive sprint too.
