Wisper²²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: K Shoemark| T: A King| OR: 86| CD

11/2

C&D winner last June. Ended 2025 with a couple of below-par efforts but has dropped to only 2 lb above the mark she defied here if fully primed for this reappearance.

Naval Command³³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 85

15/8

Fairly useful form in 3 outings for Charlie Appleby, finishing second in 1m Newmarket novice (good to firm) when last seen 11 months ago. New connections paid 80,000 gns to acquire him in February. Interesting handicap newcomer.

Form: 4/42-

Son Of Man²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Paddy Bradley| T: J R Boyle| OR: 85| BF

9/2

Well backed when ending a lengthy losing run in a 15-runner handicap at Lingfield (1½m) last month and collared only on the line back there 3 weeks ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 2-33512

Due To Henry²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 78| C

10/3

More miss than hit last season. Back on form when narrowly denied on Haydock reappearance (10.5f, good to firm) 23 days ago but would have won had he knuckled down a bit more.

Form: 89400-2

Charlie's Choice⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 78| D

25/1

Three all-weather wins since the turn of the year but below par last twice. It remains to be seen whether a return to turf sparks a revival.

Form: 113270

Sir William³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Saffie Osborne| T: C Johnston| OR: 76| C

10/1

Better than result on all-weather stable debut/reappearance in March but well held back on turf since. Successful over 1¼m here last summer so hopes hinge on a return to Windsor sparking a revival.

Form: 1224-50

Don Simon³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 75

10/1

Placed 5 times in handicaps, including this year, but underperformed back on turf at Thirsk (1½m, good) 30 days ago.

Form: 298-320

Forecasts

Naval Command (15/8), Due To Henry (10/3), Son Of Man (9/2), Wisper (11/2), Siouxfonic (6/1), Sir William (10/1), Don Simon (10/1), Charlie's Choice (25/1)

The unexposed NAVAL COMMAND gets the vote to make a successful start to his handicap career for new trainer Ralph Beckett, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. This is slightly less competitive than the turf handicaps Siouxfonic has tackled in recent weeks and he's second choice ahead of Son of Man.
