Ended his time for Andre Fabre with victory in 1¼m Angers maiden in September. Changed hands for 44,000 gns and made a positive start for new yard with fourth of 9 in 1¼m handicap at Chester 25 days ago. Not out of things.

Landed Salisbury maiden and handicap at Newmarket (both at 1¼m) in 2025. Not discredited despite coming in last of 4 on her return in handicap at Salisbury (1¼m) 29 days ago. Consistent.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-8| J: J P Spencer| T: Oliver Cole| OR:  84| BF| C
Low-mileage 5-y-o who has shaped with some promise on both runs this season, not best drawn when fifth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (1m) 16 days ago. Tongue strap added. This course winner is weighted to go very well.

A fair 1¼m winner for Daniel & Claire Kubler in 2025. Resumed from 9 months off for new stable with a good fourth of 9 in handicap at Ascot (1¼m) 23 days ago, fading only late on. Can go well with that run under her belt.

Failed to progress for William Knight after Wetherby win last spring. Made an encouraging start for new handler after 8 months off though when fifth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (1¼m) 51 days ago. One to consider.

Landed 1m novice at Newcastle in January but has failed to build on that, just sixth of 8 on her handicap debut at Haydock (1¼m) 37 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Forecasts

Twisting Physics (5/2), Nanino Niyati (7/2), Wanderlust (6/1), Victors Spirit (8/1), Aphrodite Spirit (8/1), Princess Rascal (8/1), Ted Le Saux (12/1), Bintabuha (14/1), Morcar (16/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these but course winner TWISTING PHYSICS hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green on either of his starts this spring and is fancied to capitalise on a handy-looking mark here. Owen Burrows' new recruit Nanino Niyati is feared most on the back of an encouraging Ascot fourth with handicap debutante Aphrodite Spirit also firmly in the picture.
