Dorney Lake^t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 79| D

50/1

Yet to fire in 2 AW runs since joining present stable, again failing to beat a rival when last of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Passed over.

Form: 47869-9

Gressington^b²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: K Scott| OR: 78| C| D

12/1

Course winner. Latest win here in December. 5/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 20 days ago. Possibly found that run coming too soon and he appeals as a likely candidate to bounce back.

Form: 66441-0

Raatea^h,p⁵⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 78| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 58 days ago, slowly away. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 00/7710-

The Turpinator¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 78| CD

6/1

C&D winner. 13/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 11 days ago, unable to sustain effort having made a big move into contention from last. Lurks on a handy mark and he's well worthy of a second look.

Form: 8980-24

Alfa Whiteburd^p1⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Jordan Nason⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 78| CD

16/1

3-time C&D winner. 28/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 44 days ago, never able to land a blow. Cheekpieces on 1st time but others look to arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 200097-

Beale Street¹²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: B Smart| OR: 77| CD

8/1

3-time C&D winner last winter who went close on a couple of occasions in turf handicaps at Doncaster (7f) thereafter last summer. Signed off with a pair of lesser displays (hampered by slow starts) but he resumes with yard amongst the winners. Market can guide.

Catalyse⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 76| BF| D

7/2

5/1 and visored for 1st time, below form ninth of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy). Off 91 days. Makes tapeta debut starting out for new yard and confidence behind him in the betting would look significant from career-low mark.

True Promise⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: O McSweeney| T: Fionn McSharry| OR: 75| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2024. Good second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 8 days ago, challenged final 1f and keeping on. Fancied to be in the mix once more.

Form: 22236-2

(12)

Ziggy's Condor^v¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73| D

5/2

Fifteen runs since last win in 2025. 7/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 13 days ago. Got to be respected.

Form: 24323-3

(10)

Kitaab³⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: P A Kirby| OR: 68| BF| CD

25/1

C&D winner who proved consistent on AW last winter and was best excused his final run when seventh of 8 in a C&D contest 12 months ago, caught wide with no cover in a falsely-run race. Absent since so likely the market can guide as to expectations.

Form: 5132/27-

Orbital Chime^b²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Greg Fairley| T: K Scott| OR: 66| D

40/1

Ended a losing run at Southwell (6f) in November but not scaled same heights in trio of starts since, weakening from 2f out when last of 8 in handicap back at Southwell (6f) 4 weeks ago. Needs to bounce back.

Forecasts

Ziggy's Condor (5/2), Bright (3/1), Catalyse (7/2), True Promise (4/1), The Turpinator (6/1), Beale Street (8/1), Gressington (12/1), Alfa Whiteburd (16/1), Raatea (18/1), Kitaab (25/1), Orbital Chime (40/1), Dorney Lake (50/1)

A few arrive with real chances including BRIGHT, who returned to his very best when adding a second C&D success to his tally 26 days ago. Hit with a 4 lb rise, he looks a live player once more and shades preference over Ziggy's Condor who also comes here in good order. The Turpinator and True Promise complete the shortlist.
