Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Saffie Osborne| T: M L W Bell| OR: 75| BF| CD

11/8

Much improved when making a winning reappearance/handicap debut over C&D in March. That form has taken a few knocks but turned in another solid display when runner up at Musselburgh (1m) 24 days ago. Merits respect again.

Form: 873-12

High Approval²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Vigors⁽⁷⁾| T: H Al Jehani| OR: 75

13/2

Fair form when placed on 3 of 5 starts (all 6f) as a juvenile. Finished a creditable 2 lengths sixth in 13-runner handicap on return here (7f) 3 weeks ago, shaping like one well worth a try at this longer trip. Not ruled out eased in class.

Melody De Vega³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Dr R Newland| OR: 74

15/2

Fair form in 3 novice contests last autumn and she improved after 5 months off when a keeping on third in a C&D handicap 37 days ago, Appeals as the type who will do better again and she's one to consider.

Form: 823-3

Victory Ace²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Butler| OR: 73

7/1

Showed some ability for Roger Varian and left a low-key stable debut effort well behind (had been gelded) when edging a tight finish at Lingfield (7f) 3 weeks ago. Unexposed at this longer trip and further progress not ruled out.

Form: 678-1

Crafty Blue¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 73

40/1

Space Blues filly who built on debut promise when landing 8-runner novice at Southwell (7f) in September. Always on the backfoot following a slow start on return/handicap debut at Bath 3 weeks ago but she was well supported then and isn't one to be writing off.

Form: 71-9

Chapman's Peak¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 72| CD

15/2

Showcasing gelding ended 2025 on the up, with back-to-back course victories in October, beating 2 subsequent improvers latterly. Probably best to overlook his Bath reappearance 3 weeks ago and he remains with potential back on all-weather.

Form: 99411-7

Booziebrunch^b¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Havlin| T: S Woods| OR: 72| D

11/2

Chelmsford nursery winner (1m) in August who returned from 6 months off (also gelded) with a good second at Southwell (1m) in April. Matched that form without threatening when fourth at Doncaster (1m) latest and refitting of blinkers may put an extra edge on him.

Form: 3120-24

(7)

Trio¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 71| D

20/1

Improved for the step up to 1m when landing Leicester maiden in October. Placed both starts in handicaps, albeit her latest Bath third following 6 months off suggesting her present mark demands that bit more.

Form: 6613-3

Bennyworth⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 65

40/1

Didn't pull up any trees in novice/maidens but improved after 10 weeks off (also gelded) when second on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m) 8 days ago, bumping into one well ahead of his mark. Could step up again on that.

Form: 7682

Blues And Royals (11/8), Booziebrunch (11/2), High Approval (13/2), Victory Ace (7/1), Melody De Vega (15/2), Chapman's Peak (15/2), Trio (20/1), Bennyworth (40/1), Crafty Blue (40/1)

A dual course winner here as a juvenile, CHAPMAN'S PEAK had a pair of subsequent improvers behind for the latter of those victories in October. Holding excuses on his respective return at Bath 3 weeks ago, he's worth another chance to get back on the up returned to all-weather. This is competitive for the grade however, with Melody de Vega, Blues And Royals and Victory all rating live dangers.
