12/1

Winner at Windsor in June but respectable efforts at best since. Entitled to be sharper for this after 6 months off.

6/1

Little impact for Tim Easterby but took a big step back in the right direction when second at Wolverhampton on debut for this yard in September. No show back there on comeback but fared much better when fifth at Newcastle and can come on again with headgear applied.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Joey Ramsden| OR: 56

11/2

Winner at Chelmsford in February and good placed efforts at Wolverhampton/Southwell next 2 starts. However, headgear now applied after a lesser effort back at Wolverhampton 18 days ago.

Wedgewood⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 56| CD

9/2

Better on all-weather, making all at Wolverhampton last April. However, form has been patchy since, below-par sixth over C&D 8 weeks ago. Capable off current mark if on a going day.

Sonic Si¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 56

11/4

Made only one appearance in 2025 and all the better for belated return for new yard when close fourth at Wolverhampton. Not seen to best effect there next time and mark has eased again. Player.

Form: 65/7-743

Stapleford Park²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 55

12/1

Nursery winner in September 2024 but has really struggled since, including for this yard.

Coolagh Magic²³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: A Carson| OR: 54| CD

10/3

Has won 5 times here but without success in his last 13, though showed a bit more when a never-nearer fourth over C&D 3 weeks ago. Needs to build on that.

Form: 384-484

Comedian Leader³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: William Cox| T: J & S Best| OR: 51

50/1

Out of sorts since landing a double on turf here in August but has been tumbling in the weights as a result. Worth a market check.

Isla Bella¹⁸

20/1

Going through the motions in classified events this year and not much appeal back in a handicap.

Forecasts

Sonic Si (11/4), Coolagh Magic (10/3), Master Dandy (4/1), Wedgewood (9/2), Forever Noah (11/2), Running Cool (6/1), Stapleford Park (12/1), Reporter (12/1), Isla Bella (20/1), Comedian Leader (50/1)

SONIC SI has shown some promise for this yard and could the answer from an easing mark. His stablemate Wedgewood is capable of going close if in the mood, while Running Cool should be spot on now.
