Virgin Bet Daily Extra Places Handicap

Bagged 4 turf handicaps in 2025 and, though he ended that campaign on a bit of a downer, his record when fresh augurs well ahead of this return from a 6-month break and he has won here in the past.

Two turf wins over 6f in first half of 2025 and he was a good second over the same trip here in October. Not in the same form since, though, and record on the all-weather stands at 0-10.

Winner of 6f Salisbury handicaps either side of registering his first all-weather success at Chelmsford last season. Several creditable efforts in defeat thereafter but he's basically opposable back from a break here. Yard also saddles Cypriot Diaspora.

Back in the groove when landing back-to-back Ffos Las handicaps within the space of a week last summer. However, she didn't end 2025 in particularly good form and record when fresh suggests that this is probably not the time to lend her support.

Scored off 1 lb higher at Southwell during his stint with James Owen and put in a good shift on first run since rejoining former yard when runner-up at Wolverhampton (6f) last week. Effective at this trip, too, and will surely have a big say if responding well to first-time blinkers.

Now 8 lb lower in the weights compared to when landing a 1m Newmarket handicap for Michael Appleby in September 2024 and didn't shape badly on second run for this yard at Wolverhampton recently. Still. Mumayaz may emerge as the stable No 1.
