Absent 11 months prior to last year's belated return but bounced back to form when placed 3 times at Newcastle in December. Lesser efforts over 6f at the same course both starts this year, though he's been given a chance by the handicapper.
|
2 turf wins over 6f in first half of 2025. Wasn't in the same form over the winter but best effort this year when runner-up at Kempton (7f) in March, having the benefit of a good position. Task is now to build on latest run.
|
Yet to win but reappeared with a good third in 11-runner handicap at Lingfield 18 days ago, seeing his race out well upped to 7f despite having raced freely. Major player with yard going well.
|
Without a win since Wolverhampton in January last year but proved consistent during the current winter campaign, making the frame on 4 occasions. After 8 weeks off, possibly needed the run when fourth of 6 at Kempton in March, so he can make his presence felt.
|
Back-to-back Wolverhampton winner at the turn of the year and has had excuses since, left poorly placed when finishing mid-field at Lingfield on latest outing 18 days ago. Not ruled out.
|
Reunited with Ethan Tindall in the saddle, capitalised on a slipping mark at Catterick (7f) in April and followed up over the same C&D 2 weeks later, form boosted by the third winning next time. Can make another bold bid in his current form.
|
Bounced back to form fitted with cheekpieces when first past the post at Pontefract (6f) in September, demoted for causing interference. Failed to build on that effort the remainder of the year, though stepped up on this season's return when second at Pontefract 11 days ago.
|
Successful twice last year, including over this C&D in July. Placed on next 4 outings before ending the season with a rare below-par effort at Redcar in October. Capable of getting involved if ready to go after 6 months off.
|
Failed to improve for switch to handicap company when failing to beat a rival at Leicester (7f) in September. After 7 months off, fared no better dropped to 6f at the same course 19 days ago, though shaped as if needing the run.
|
Sole success came back in 2022 but went close at Redcar on 3 occasions last year. Below-par effort at the same course when last seen in October, though ran well on last season's return and she lurks on a dangerous mark.

Forecasts
Zubaru (7/4), Evocative Spark (4/1), Maxi Boy (7/1), Lumenbourg (7/1), Straight A (10/1), Mr Cool (11/1), Chifa (11/1), Valentine Catcher (16/1), Magic Music (28/1), Oscar's Sister (28/1)
ZUBARU shaped encouragingly when third at Lingfield on his reappearance and he can build on that effort to get off the mark. The 4-y-o remains unexposed at this trip and gets the vote ahead of the hat-trick seeking Evocative Spark, while Straight A could also be in the mix.
