Ciao Capo²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 60

11/4

Signed off 2-y-o campaign in perfect style at Newcastle in November (1m). Gelded ahead of return and shaped quite nicely last month, sticking to the task. Looks well worth a try at this distance.

Form: 70641-4

What Fools Believe¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D Nolan| T: I Furtado| OR: 59

8/1

Improved form when making second handicap start a winning one at Southwell last month. Cheekpieces on for first time, last of 5 back there17 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip for turf debut eased in class and removal of headgear will help.

Form: 668-715

Fareenar^t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58

11/1

Promising sort. 9/2 and tongue strap on for first time, seventh of 9 in handicap at Redcar (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago. Expected to step up markedly on that with this trip sure to unlock more.

Form: 543-7

Attention Seeker¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 58

12/1

Unreliable type. Last of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) 18 days ago. Back up in trip. Not easy to make a case for at present.

Form: 46-7707

Wadacre Geisha¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C Johnston| OR: 54

14/1

Showed a bit more when fifth of 7 in novice at Wetherby (1¼m, good to firm, 200/1) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut and in the right hands to do better.

Form: 985

Captain Bruce³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S H James| T: A Crook| OR: 52| D

80/1

Successful in nurseries at Chelmsford and Newcastle in 2025 but heavy defeats both starts this spring and lots to prove on stable debut back on turf.

Form: 1516-90

Regulus Black³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: H Palmer| OR: 51

11/8

Useful pedigree and positives to draw from his qualifying starts this spring at around 1m. Very much the type to do better now handicapping.

Form: 455

Regal Knight¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Barry McHugh| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 50

12/1

Went off at big prices and showed little in 3 starts last year. Showed more when good fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) 11 days ago, albeit having run of the race

Form: 078-4

Contemplation¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 50

12/1

Poor form in 4 outings for James Ferguson and no better for this stable.

Form: 96-6446

Forecasts

Regulus Black (11/8), Ciao Capo (11/4), What Fools Believe (8/1), Fareenar (11/1), Attention Seeker (12/1), Regal Knight (12/1), Contemplation (12/1), Wadacre Geisha (14/1), Captain Bruce (80/1)

FAREENAR should not only strip fitter for her return but is also expected to improve for this increased emphasis on stamina, so she could well be the answer. Handicap debutants Regulus Black and Wadacre Geisha are bred to be better than this grade, with Ciao Capo also of interest.
