Cool Hoof Luke³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 108

11/4

Landed the Gimcrack Stakes at York on his final outing at 2 yrs in 2024 and shaped as if retaining all his ability on his first outing since in Lingfield listed event (6f) in January. Worth another try at this trip and remains unexposed.

Form: 1431/3

Ferrous⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: J Channon| OR: 105| BF| C

9/2

Completed a hat-trick on all-weather in the first half of 2025 and ran up to his best when second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 8 days ago, nearest finish. Must enter calculations back up in grade.

Form: 3936-42

Heathcliff²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 95| D

20/1

Gained reward for his consistency as he ended a long losing run stretching back to 2024 in 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 21 days ago, driven out. Wouldn't be an obvious type to follow up though, especially in this grade.

Form: 7023-31

Marshman³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 107

11/1

Thriving around this time last year, but he's become his own worst enemy at the start and put himself firmly on the back foot at the stalls for a second outing in a row at Lingfield on most recent outing. Comes with obvious risks attached.

Form: 23367-5

Palmar Bay⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 102| D

7/1

Won a brace of 7f handicaps last season and wasn't disgraced on his second try at this level when fourth of 15 at Deauville (7.4f) on final outing in December. This asks for more, however,

Prince Of India^t¹⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: M Botti| OR: 104| BF| CD

2/1

Improved in leaps and bounds last season, winning 5 times, including when putting up a smart effort off top weight to land an Ascot handicap in August. Good third in York listed event next time prior to having excuses in the Bengough Stakes on final outing. Capable fresh and has to be of interest.

Thunder Roar¹⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 100| D

80/1

Posted a career best victory faced with ideal conditions at Ayr (1m, soft) in September. Quickly back to form when second of 17 at York on final outing but all-weather record not as compelling and has his work cut out at this level.

Form: 084102-

Witch Hunter²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 105| CD

10/1

Proved he retains a smart level of ability when landing handicap at Newcastle in January. However, wasn't in the same form back up in grade at Southwell since. Bounce back required.

Form: 103-514

Forecasts

Prince Of India (2/1), Cool Hoof Luke (11/4), Ferrous (9/2), Palmar Bay (7/1), Witch Hunter (10/1), Marshman (11/1), Heathcliff (20/1), Thunder Roar (80/1)

The form of COOL HOOF LUKE's 2024 Gimcrack win worked out notably well and, having shaped as if retaining all that ability on his only start since, he's worth siding with on this return to 7f. Prince of India progressed in leaps and bounds last season and is an obvious threat given his effectiveness when fresh, while Ferrous has an excellent all-weather record and must enter calculations, too.
