A Major Paynep15
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: M L W Bell| OR:  75
Still looking for a breakthrough victory but ran right up to form when placed both comeback starts last month. This represents a slight drop in class so he should be very competitive again.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: James Owen| OR:  75| D
Showed a good attitude when doubling tally over this trip on the July Course in August. Didn't translate that level at first attempt to hurdling in the autumn but he's in expert hands back from 6 months off with cheekpieces back on.

Made a winning all-weather/handicap debut at Southwell (7f) in November 2024 but failed to make an impact in 3 runs last term. Sound-enough return to action at Bath last month (1m) and task is to build on that trying this trip for the first time.

Age: 7|  Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies| T: M G Rimell| OR:  73| BF| D
Stepped forward with each run for current yard, getting off the mark in a handicap at Nottingham last month on first attempt beyond 1m. Collared close home over 11f at Kempton 11 days ago having raced a shade freely but he's clearly arriving in good order.

Resumed her progress with 1m win at Lingfield in March and cast aside lesser run at Pontefract when mid-field at Musselburgh, dropped in from a bad draw.

Better than ever when winning 1½m handicap at Leicester in April by 1¼ lengths from Hibernate. Subsequent Ascot run over 2m easy to excuse (ridden to get new trip) and better expected here back down in distance.

Sansanetti225
Age: 4|  Weight: 8-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: S C Williams| OR:  61| D
Went handicapping from a very low base and expertly placed to win 4 times during second half of 2025. No surprise were she to pick up where she left off.

Forecasts

Sansanetti (11/4), A Major Payne (7/2), Caph Star (4/1), Sir Edward Lear (13/2), Beach Point (7/1), Salaria (8/1), Expressionless (14/1), Caledonian (20/1)

Verdict

SANSANETTI ended her 3-y-o campaign in fine style and given the yard she represents, she could easily continue the good work on reappearance with her ceiling yet to be ascertained. Expressionless will be keeping on back in trip, with Caph Star another to consider.
