Tommy McJohn¹⁰²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Barry McHugh| T: A Keatley| OR: 64| D

17/2

Eleven runs since his last win in 2024 but he signed off for Ciaran Murphy with a very good third of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (5f) in January. Not without interest for his new yard after a break.

Form: 70008-3

Harb²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: T Davidson| OR: 64| BF| CD

5/2

Scored at Newcastle in February and suffered a poor run when eighth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (5f) 28 days ago. This C&D winner needs considering.

Form: 351478

Little Mi Mi³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 62| BF| D

7/2

Improved performer this year, winning twice at Newcastle (5f). Beaten a head in 13-runner handicap at Southwell (5f) last time and she should remain competitive despite another 2 lb rise.

Form: 22-1612

Keep The Gold^p³¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 60

13/2

Low-mileage 4-y-o who was fitted with cheekpieces when a good second of 7 in handicap at Redcar (5f) 10 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his comeback.

Form: 579/732-

Canaria Queen^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 57| D

5/1

Resumed winning ways in 14-runner handicap at Doncaster (5f) 11 days ago. Runner-up has gone in since so she's expected to be bang there nudged up 2 lb.

Form: 2524-61

Royal Duke¹⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 57| CD

14/1

C&D winner but he ended 2025 under something of a cloud, tenth of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f) 6 months ago.

Form: 210680-

(7)

Fear And Fast^v¹⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: C Lee| T: J S Goldie| OR: 54

9/1

Remains a maiden after 16 runs. Ended last season with below-form seventh of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f) 6 months ago. Still not long with this yard though.

Form: 236267-

Ski Angel¹⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: R M Smith| OR: 49| CD

33/1

Didn't prove the easiest to catch right last season but took this on her return in 2024 so needs considering after 6 months off.

Form: 454159-

Wee Mary^h¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 48| D

12/1

Got back on track with third of 17 in handicap at Thirsk (6f) 17 days ago, left with too much to do. Possibilities.

Forecasts

Harb (5/2), Little Mi Mi (7/2), Canaria Queen (5/1), Phil's Dream (5/1), Keep The Gold (13/2), Tommy McJohn (17/2), Fear And Fast (9/1), Wee Mary (12/1), Royal Duke (14/1), Bonito Cavalo (20/1), Ski Angel (33/1)

Marginal preference is for Tim Easterby's mare CANARIA QUEEN who got back to winning ways at Doncaster recently and can defy a 2 lb rise with that form having been franked. Little Mi Mi is enjoying a very good year and seems sure to be on the premises once more, with C&D scorer Harb and Adrian Keatley's new recruit Tommy McJohn also in the picture.
