Showed improved form last season, winning twice at Ascot. Has gradually worked his way back to best on the all-weather this year, third of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (1¼m, 20/1) 23 days ago when fitted with a first-time tongue strap. Will be suited by the return to this longer trip.

Has done most of his racing over hurdles for this yard but was successful when last seen in this sphere at Kempton in February. 33/1, creditable fifth of 14 in Sussex Champion Hurdle at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) 21 days ago. Should remain competitive from this 4 Ib higher mark.

Lightly-raced filly who made the frame on her final 3 starts in 2025, latterly when second of 8 in maiden at the Curragh (1½m, heavy) in October. Has left Noel Meade and is making her handicap debut in a competitive race for the grade.

3/1
Has returned better than ever this year, with a good second at Newcastle before producing a career-best effort to win 14-runner handicap over C&D (good) 14 days ago. Is now on a career-high mark and has to be taken seriously in current form.

Didn't kick on as expected in handicaps last season, beating only a handful of rivals on last 3 starts (final one on yard debut). Takes a significant step back up in trip but is probably best watched on return.

Scored on handicap debut at Windsor (11.5f, soft) for Ed Walker in September. First run for this yard when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (1½m, good, 25/1) 8 days ago, not knocked about. Should benefit from that reappearance effort.

Won 3 handicaps in this series in 2024 (bagged £100,000 bonus). Failed to fully fire in 2025 but ended the season with a very close fifth in 6-runner handicap at Hamilton (1½m, good to soft), finishing with running left. Looks very well-treated if ready to go first time out this year.

Stepped up markedly on reappearance when third of 10 in handicap at Beverley (8.5f, good, 9/2) 11 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and faces a stiff task here from 1 Ib out of the weights.

Found the first-time blinkers and tongue strap working the oracle as she got off the mark at the fourteenth attempt in 9-runner handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 13/2) in March. Returns to the turf but this is a tough ask from 4 Ib out of the weights.

Forecasts

Hamlet's Night (11/8), Night Breeze (5/2), Fast Fred (3/1), Rising Sky (18/1), Letsbefrank (20/1), Furhaan (28/1), Eroico (33/1), Princess Niyla (40/1), Motawaared (40/1)

Verdict

HAMLET'S NIGHT remains on a workable mark and can double his tally on the Flat for the season. Night Breeze looks to have been building up to something and can give another good account, while Fast Fred can't be ignored in current form.
