M&D Foundations Piling Specialists Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Improved since blinkered, finishing second in 1¼m handicap at Lingfield before seeing off the reopposing Sailor Song by 1½ lengths in 11f maiden at Southwell 14 days ago. Should go well back in a handicap.

Fairly useful form. 1½ lengths second of 7 to Al Azd in maiden at Southwell (11f) 14 days ago, pulling clear of rest. Cheekpieces are added for handicap debut. Player.

Goodwood maiden winner over 1m in the mud last September. Not in the same form when last of 5 in novice at Pontefract (1¼m, soft) 5 weeks later. Makes handicap debut after 6 months off.

1m Newcastle novice winner in November. A little disappointing when fifth of 9 in novice at Nottingham (1¼m, good to soft) on reappearance 17 days ago but no surprise to see him bounce back now handicapping for a leading yard going well in general.

Made the most of a good opportunity in 5-runner novice at Newcastle (1m) in January but did it readily and should have more to offer now handicapping on turf over a trip which is bred to suit.

Won 7f Thirsk novice in September. Good third of 7 in nursery at Nottingham (1¼m, soft) on final start. Off 6 months. Bred to be suited by this sort of trip in 2026.

Fair form when reaching the frame on all 3 starts, including on 11f Kempton reappearance 26 days ago. Another unexposed sort from a leading yard in this line-up.
