5/1
Blinkered first time, career best when winning 8-runner C&D handicap14 days ago, having run of race from the front. Much depends on whether that headgear works as well a second time.

5/1
C&D winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Lingfield in November. Good second of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (1m) 17 days ago. Should go well.

Went close at Wolverhampton (7f) in November. 9/4, left poorly placed when fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 27 days ago. On his lowest mark since winning last January. Might prove the answer.

Finally got off the mark in a C&D maiden 14 days ago. Did that easily but more will be needed if he's to follow up back in a handicap.

Raced on turf, winning a 7f maiden. Failed to make a significant impact in 3 handicap starts last year. Switches to AW for the first time after 3 months off.

4/1
Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Kempton (1m) 43 days ago. Well positioned on that occasion and a 6 lb rise demands more of him.

10/3
Eleven runs since last win in 2025 but hasn't been with the prolific James Owen yard for long. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 15 days ago. Considered.

Forecasts

Mandana (10/3), Gennadius (7/2), Luminous Warrior (4/1), Lexington Jet (5/1), H Key Lails (5/1), Straight A (7/1), Lady Justice (40/1)

Verdict

STRAIGHT A was better than the result last time and gets the nod to snap a 12-month losing run. Mandana seems to be finding her feet for the James Owen yard and is second choice ahead of H Key Lails.
