28/1

Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton (7f) in October but has largely struggled since, including when never involved over 6f at this track last month. Below last winning mark but a leap of faith required.

Form: 64-8558

7/1

Best efforts in 2025 both came at Doncaster over longer trips. Disappointing on each of his 2 outings this year, sweating up badly and lit up by blinkers (retained) on latest outing 16 days ago. Makes all-weather debut.

Belsito^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Callan⁽³⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 70| D

12/1

Second over C&D last August before back-to-back wins at Hamilton following month. Shaped as if needing the run when down the field at Thirsk last time after 6 months off. Entitled to come on for that effort and, with the cheekpieces back on and the yard going well, a bold bid looks likely.

Glamour Show³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 70| D

7/1

Stepped up on C&D return when length third of 6 to a prolific winner in handicap at Wolverhampton last month. This represents a drop in grade and should be thereabouts for all others make more appeal for win purposes.

Tabby⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: H Crouch| T: J Tate| OR: 70

10/3

Returned from 16 months off with an improved ½-length second of 6 on handicap/stable debut at Wolverhampton 8 days ago. The quick turnaround is a slight concern but she remains unexposed and further progress would make her hard to beat.

Neyva's Angel^h²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 69| CD

10/3

Off the mark in a 9-runner handicap over C&D 24 days ago, overcoming a typically tardy start. The form has worked out well, so a 5 lb rise is not excessive for all her temperament remains a concern.

Form: 494-571

Dicko The Legend⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 69| D

10/1

Won at Wolverhampton/York (6f) last year and ended 2025 with a creditable fourth at this course in September. However, held back by sluggish starts on both outings this year and rates a risky proposition at present.

Form: 5104-75

Fan Mail³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| CD

11/4

Won over C&D in October but has not been at the same level since. Now below his last winning mark at least and any market support would be interesting.

Form: 16-4775

Forecasts

Fan Mail (11/4), Tabby (10/3), Neyva's Angel (10/3), Glamour Show (7/1), Shazani (7/1), Dicko The Legend (10/1), Belsito (12/1), Thurso (28/1)

TABBY looked an improved model on her return from a lengthy absence last time and will be hard to beat if coping with the quick turnaround. Belsito should be sharper for his reappearance and looks the main threat, while Glamour Show is capable of making her presence felt eased in grade.
