Two-time C&D winner who ran well when narrowly denied in a similar race here 34 days ago. No excuses when sixth of 8 under 5-lb claimer at Lingfield latest but worth another chance eased in grade with regular jockey back aboard.
|
Ran creditably when finding only well-backed stablemate too strong in a 7-runner handicap at Lingfield last time. Still below latest winning mark and should run his race again.
|
On the up when winning twice over C&D in January but wasn't seen to best effect when denied a clear run at Wolverhampton last time. This is more competitive but she's not discounted with Oisin Murphy back aboard.
|
Partnered by this claimer when successful over C&D last month, ending a losing run spanning almost 4 years. Can remain competitive off revised mark but we know everything has to fall into place.
|
Course winner who has form in higher grades and wasn't seen to best effect when fifth of 11 in 5f handicap at Newmarket (12/1) in October. Makes some appeal returning on last winning mark.
|
Three-time winner over 5f last year. Shaped as if needing the run after 6 months off on latest start a fortnight ago and on a handy mark if building on that.
|
Won twice over 5f on all-weather as a juvenile and ran creditably in 5f handicaps on turf for current yard last season. Will need to improve on that form to make a winning return from more than 6 months off.
|
Successful 3 times over minimum trip last year before his old quirks resurfaced. Ran well without headgear on return when second of 5 at Lingfield (4/1) 10 days ago. Claims if in same form with cheekpieces back on.
|
Only denied a hat-trick by an improving rival at Wolverhampton (5.1f) last week and shaped much better than the distance beaten suggests over the same C&D on Monday. This is a deeper race, however.
|
Got up late to win over C&D last September and wasn't disgraced despite finishing only eighth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (20/1) the following month. Needs things to drop right given his running style.
|
Won on debut/placed 3 times in handicaps in Hong Kong, latest at Sha Tin in November 2024 (all over 6f, well held latest). Market can guide on first start for new yard following 14 months off.
|
Extended long losing run when third of 7 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 38 days ago, albeit likely to have finished closer with a better run. Record tells us everything about how he needs things to drop just right to get his head in front.

Forecasts
Nogo's Dream (4/1), Sam's Hope (9/2), Almaty Star (5/1), Juan Les Pins (11/2), Existent (7/1), El Bufalo (8/1), Zarzyni (16/1), Blind Beggar (16/1), Sports Coach (16/1), Cuban Grey (16/1), Master Of My Fate (20/1), Golden Long (25/1)
Two-time C&D winner MASTER OF MY FATE went close under similar conditions on penultimate start here and is worth another chance reunited with Jason Hart. Blind Beggar looks interesting back on his last winning mark, while Cuban Grey is well treated if building on his reappearance third.
