Useful form in France last season, winning twice. Subsequently changed hands for €100,000 and not knocked about on his first run for 10 months when ninth in 11f Kempton handicap 15 days ago.
|
Got right back on the up with stylish success in 9-runner handicap at Yarmouth (9f) in September. Off since but the sort to do well in 2026. Big player at these weights.
|
Dual winner (around 1m) at Thirsk and Epsom last summer. Found things tougher at Royal Ascot and Sandown after but no surprise to see him bounce back for good yard on his return.
|
Got back on track when fourth of 10 in 1m handicap at Kempton in February. Possibilities off the same mark for his in-form yard.
|
Made a winning debut for Ed Bethell in 10-runner handicap at Redcar (1m) in October. May do better still with few miles still on the clock.
|
Gained a deserved success at Newcastle in September. Shaped as if better for the run after 6 months off when ninth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster 14 days ago.
|
A three-time winner (around 1m) early last summer and he signed off with a solid fourth of 7 in 9f handicap at Hamilton in September. Has won off a break.
|
C&D winner but he came in only tenth of 12 in 8.5f handicap at Wolverhampton on his return 23 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.
|
A dual 1m winner in 2025. Has made a positive start to this season too, staying on into fourth in 1m handicap at Lingfield 9 days ago. Not out of things off a 2 lb lower mark over this longer trip.
|
Resumed winning ways at Ayr (1m) and backed it up with a solid fourth of 9 in 7f handicap there later in September. This veteran needs to hit the ground running after 6 months off though.
|
Scored at Newcastle (1m) in January and has continued in good nick, third of 12 in another 1m handicap there 16 days ago.
|
Enjoyed a remarkable 2025 when a six-time winner. Signed off with a good second of 8 in 1m handicap here in November so can't be discounted on his seasonal return despite being 2 lb "wrong" in the weights.

Forecasts
Sea Force (11/4), Noche Clasica (10/3), James McHenry (8/1), Dwindling Funds (8/1), Sir Paul Ramsey (10/1), Mirsky (12/1), Thunder Wonder (12/1), Flying Fletcher (12/1), Impartiality (12/1), Redarna (20/1), Per Contra (20/1), Saint Etienne (33/1)
SEA FORCE starts 2026 on a good mark so is fancied to return in style and follow up his stylish season-closing victory at Yarmouth. Sir Paul Ramsey should prove suited by this step up in trip and could emerge as the main danger to William Haggas' progressive 4-y-o ahead of Impartiality, Noche Clasica and Dwindling Funds.
