Well held on all starts since joining Antony Brittain. Would need to see market support to consider back from a 10-week break.
|
Two 5f turf wins last May. Back on a workable mark and claims if ready to roll after 168 days off.
|
Back to winning ways at Newcastle (5f) in February. Creditable fourth next time but below par over 6f at Newcastle latest. Successful on turf off this mark last year.
|
Eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5f, 16/1) on reappearance 18 days ago. Should be sharper now.
|
Hamilton specialist who added 3 more wins there last year. Off 162 days. No great record fresh and probably best watched this time.
|
Placed 3 times in sprint handicaps in the second half of 2025. Has had a breathing operation ahead of this first start for 6 months. Still lightly raced as sprinters go.
|
C&D winner on soft last autumn but beaten only a couple home in 2 outings since. Off 10 weeks. Needs a return to Pontefract to spark a revival.
|
Didn't shape too badly when fifth on Newcastle reappearance and can have a line put through his subsequent Southwell run (hampered). Went close off higher marks on turf last spring.
|
All-weather maiden winner but also effective on turf. Respectable fourth at Chelmsford (6f) when last seen in December. Has had a breathing operation ahead of reappearance.
|
Prominent racer who bounced back to his best to win at Chelmsford (6f) in February. Well beaten at Southwell since but the yard did win this race last year.
|
Only the odd bit of encouragement on all-weather since returning from a year off. Best watched unless the betting speaks in his favour.
|
Three wins in a productive 2025. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft) final start. Could go well if fully primed after 161 days off.
|
Thirteen runs since last win in 2025. 33/1, bit below form when eighth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) in November. Back down in trip after 138 days off. Blinkers are also back on. Others are more persuasive.

Harb (9/2), Get Up Everybody (5/1), Kitaab (6/1), Lucius Aurelius (13/2), Jojo Rabbit (15/2), Wrestling Revenue (15/2), Ganesha (8/1), Mu Mu Land (10/1), Canaria Queen (14/1), Sergeant Mayer (14/1), Pinjarra (14/1), Iris Dancer (20/1), Masterclass (22/1), Monotone (40/1)
LUCIUS AURELIUS can have his latest run ignored and might be worth chancing from what is a good mark based on his turf form last spring. Canaria Queen was runner-up twice off an identical rating last autumn and can go well if ready to roll on her reappearance. Get Up Everybody has fewer convictions than most of these and could also have a say on his first outing since a breathing operation.
- Lucius Aurelius13/2
- Canaria Queen14/1
