Poor strike rate but ended his time with Alan King in good form, not beaten far when fourth at Kempton (1½m) in April. Changed hands for 30,000 gns thereafter and interesting connections opt for a marked step up in trip now.
|
Won a thin Lingfield maiden prior to finishing second in consecutive 1½m handicaps at Newmarket/Wolverhampton. Subsequently sold from the Ralph Beckett yard for 90,000 gns, and he looks worth a go at staying trips. Cheekpieces replace visor for return/stable debut.
|
Progressive staying handicapper for the Gosden yard last summer but looked anything but a natural in pair of hurdle runs for new stable this spring. Return to this discipline could have positive effect but betting may prove best guide.
|
Successful on final start in 2024 and continued good work throughout last year, winning twice and runner-up other 3 outings. Low-key return from 10 months off at Hamilton (13f) 2 weeks ago and he's best when able to dominate.
|
Remains with just a sole success but not for the first time caught the eye when seventh in the Plate here (18.6f) 3 weeks ago, faring best of those held up having been poorly drawn. Eased further 1 lb ahead of this and one to be interested in down in class.
|
A 3-time winner for M. Delzangles in France, he finished well held on stable debut/reappearance at Hamilton (11f) 2 weeks ago, and hopes are seemingly pinned on a significant step up in trip.
|
Successful 3 times over hurdles upon joining present stable and took his form up a notch in this sphere following 3 months off when winning at Ascot (2m) 3 weeks ago. Looks a big player again from 4 lb higher mark with Billy Loughnane taking the ride.
|
All wins have come on all-weather but shaped better than bare result in first-time blinkers (retained) when ninth in an extended 1½m handicap here 3 weeks ago. Step back up in trip rates a definite positive and better anticipated.
|
Consistent 3-time winner for David O'Meara who ran well on first start for new yard when fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (12.3f) in September. Absent since but his record fresh is a positive and returns with stable in form.
|
Resumed winning ways at Southwell (1½m) in March and quickly dispelled a lesser effort in first-time cheekpieces when second at Goodwood (2m) 4 weeks ago. Leading stable's runners always command respect on the Roodee and well worth a second look.
|
A 4-time Wolverhampton winner, latest in August. Looked in need of first start for 6 months when eighth of 15 at Newbury (1½m) 2 weeks ago and he's acquitted himself with credit on previous visits here. Steps back up significantly in trip with cheekpieces now reached for.

Forecasts
Believitanducan (5/2), Solar Pass (5/1), Imperial Sovereign (6/1), Dance Time (8/1), Venezuelan (8/1), Kuredu King (10/1), Heathen (10/1), Midnight Rumble (12/1), Ouro Preto (14/1), Savrola (16/1), Percy Jones (33/1)
A 3 lb rise for BELIEVITANDUCAN's Ascot success 3 weeks ago looks fair and Alan King's 5-y-o is fancied to make a bold bid to follow up with Billy Loughnane an eye-catching booking. Imperial Sovereign caught the eye in the Plate here earlier this month and is another to consider. Dance Time and Solar Pass also need factoring in.
