Winless in 24 starts and came last of 10 over this C&D (28/1) 9 days ago.
|
Rediscovered form with switch to aggressive tactics, finishing second on last two starts (headed only late on in first-time tongue strap over C&D last week). Strong claims.
|
Out of sorts and, as a headstrong sort, wasn't suited by the fitting of blinkers (now removed) last time. Not easy to assess but does drop into classified company for the first time.
|
Course specialist with 6 C&D wins, but last of those was in the summer of 2024. Consistent prior to finishing sixth of 8 in a handicap here (9/1) 15 days ago, never landing a blow. Could be in the mix dropping to classified company.
|
Was only seventh of 9 when dropping into this grade at Wolverhampton (18/1) 44 days ago.
|
Of little interest nowadays but wasn't suited by the drop back to 5f when seventh of 9 here (33/1) just 4 days ago.
|
Well backed when denied clear run penultimate start but no excuses when eleventh of 12 in 7f handicap at Lingfield (10/1) just before Christmas. Blinkered for first time back down in trip and interesting to see if the money comes again on first start in classified company.
|
Maiden after 17 career starts but again attracted support when sixth of 9 at Wolverhampton (3/1) 44 days ago on second run since leaving Lisa Williamson, looking ungainly under pressure. Hasn't been long with capable yard and too soon to discount at this level.

Forecasts
Beneficiary (11/4), Sedgemoor (10/3), Fircombe Hall (7/2), Triple Charged (13/2), Classy Clarets (13/2), Nazca (9/1), Barney's Bay (18/1), Genius Mistake (50/1)
BENEFICIARY has rediscovered form with a switch to aggressive tactics of late and holds obvious claims. Fircombe Hall is a six-time C&D winner and while winless in 23 outings, the drop to classified company should help. Sedgemoor and Triple Charged are worth noting in the betting.
