Vincent Rocks^p1³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: K Stott| T: H Palmer| OR: 84| D

12/1

Bagged 1m novices at Nottingham and Southwell on his first two runs. Well below par both starts since though, twentieth of 22 in handicap at Doncaster (1m) on his return last month. Cheekpieces are reached for.

Form: 119-0

Walsingham¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 84| CD

9/4

Completed a hat-trick last summer, including over C&D. Resumed from 6 months off with an encouraging third of 8 in handicap at Ripon (1m) 13 days ago, left poorly placed. In the picture.

Form: 8/1110-3

Sir Paul Ramsey¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: C Johnston| OR: 81| D

10/1

Failed to build on earlier promise when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f) 17 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 09-3740

On The River¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: H Bethell| OR: 80| BF| CD

6/1

C&D winner who comes here on the back of a very good second of 8 in handicap at Ripon (1m) 13 days ago. Up 2 lb but not taken lightly.

Form: 5642-52

Sailthisshipalone^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: I Furtado| OR: 78| CD

3/1

Tongue tied/off 4 months before making a winning stable debut (formerly with Richard Fahey) in 9-runner handicap over C&D 22 days ago. That form has been franked so he's very much one to consider.

Form: 58717-1

Cosmos Raj²⁰⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 77| D

50/1

A dual 1m winner at Ripon last summer but he ended 2025 well below par. Needs to take a big step forward on his reappearance.

Form: 521070-

Leadenhall¹⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76| CD

4/1

Off since coming in last of 10 in handicap at Redcar (1m) in October but he took this event 12 months ago on his seasonal return so can't be ruled out off a handy-looking mark.

Form: 446300-

Garden Oasis^p¹³

Age: 11| Weight: 8-13| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75| CD

66/1

A three-time winner in 2025, including over C&D. Looked rusty after 6 months off when seventh of 8 in handicap at Ripon (1m) 13 days ago. Can take a step forward.

Form: 14579-7

Forecasts

Walsingham (9/4), Sailthisshipalone (3/1), Leadenhall (4/1), On The River (6/1), Sir Paul Ramsey (10/1), Vincent Rocks (12/1), Billyb (14/1), Cosmos Raj (50/1), Garden Oasis (66/1)

Lots with chances. SAILTHISSHIPALONE went in at the first time of asking for Ivan Furtado over C&D recently and with that form having been well advertised since he can defy a 3 lb weights rise. Last year's victor Leadenhall resumes on a good mark and could emerge as the main danger, although both On The River and Walsingham also need factoring into this competitive handicap.
