Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 82

11/2

Struck twice in good style within the space of 3 days in January but form has subsequently dipped and he's opposable returned to turf.

10/1

Beverley maiden winner on final run for Charlie Johnston and followed up in a Haydock handicap (1m, good to firm) on debut for the James Tate yard in September. Creditable third on the all-weather when last seen in January and he's one to consider starting out for another new yard here.

Form: 24110-3

Candonomore^p,t⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 77| D

1/1

Successful 3 times during a productive 2025 campaign for Tim Easterby and back to his best for new yard of late, just touched off at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last week. Return to this trip won't be a problem and he's a major player off the same mark.

Form: 5-37522

Caledonian²⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Callan⁽³⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 76| BF

16/1

Made a winning all-weather/handicap debut at Southwell (7f) in November 2024 but failed to make an impact in 3 runs last term and will likely need the run back from a 9-month absence.

Form: 241/475-

Nakaaha^h²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: G Harris| OR: 75| D

9/1

Struggled in higher grades following back-to-back wins at Newbury/Ffos Las last summer but there were positives to take from her reappearance display at Doncaster (7f, good to soft). Entitled to come on for that and these conditions will suit her better.

Form: 11608-0

Happy Banner^t¹⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: George Downing| T: E Walker| OR: 73

4/1

Kempton novice winner at 2 yrs and more good efforts in handicaps last season, for all that he failed to add to his tally. Resumes with yard in good form and he's one to consider.

Forecasts

Candonomore (1/1), Happy Banner (4/1), Eupator (11/2), Aspull (7/1), Nakaaha (9/1), Special Ghaiyyath (10/1), Caledonian (16/1)

On the back of a near-miss at Yarmouth last week, CANDONOMORE is taken to deservedly open his account for present connections. Happy Banner represents an in-form yard and will be a threat if ready to roll following a break, while Special Ghaiyyath and Nakaaha also enter calculations.
