Late Arron James Supporting Pancreatic Cancer Handicap

Progressed in light campaign last season, scoring twice over this trip, but ran poorly at Newcastle in January and was always in rear when eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 25 days ago. Tough to assess at present.

Successful 4 times during a fruitful 2025 and has shaped well on both outings so far this season, getting going a shade later than ideal after meeting some trouble when fifth of 14 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good, 9/2) 15 days ago. Of strong interest having been eased another 1 lb.

Goes well under testing conditions and had the ground to suit third of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Leicester (1m, soft) on his final outing of 2025. Market might prove best guide as to expectations after 7 months off.

Off the mark at Salisbury in August last year and progressed again on handicap debut when third at Newbury (7f) next time. Ended 2025 on a low note though and fared no better when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on return 35 days ago, so others are preferred.

Back to winning ways when making all at Leicester (7f) in April and doubled his tally for the season when also winning an 11-runner handicap (17/2) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 10 days ago, showing a good attitude to stick things out after being harried for the lead. Considered from 3 lb higher.

Lightly-raced sort who posted a career best when getting off the mark in 7-runner handicap at Southwell (7f) in April but too free under a penalty at Kempton the following week. Remains with potential having first Flat start on turf (made first 2 appearances in bumpers).

Made the track again only twice for Ralph Beckett after winning his final start at 2 yrs but took a step back in the right direction on his third start for current yard when fourth of 11 at Windsor (6f) in early-May. Ran to similar level upped to 1m there 12 days ago but others hold stronger claims.

Scored at Southwell (7f) in January and was back to his best to gain a second C&D success when winning here (good to soft) 16 days ago. Might need a bit more from 3 lb higher mark but can't be discounted on back of recent win.

Free-going sort who scored over C&D in July but arrives with something to prove after a brace of underwhelming efforts this season.

Seven-time course winner has gone close over C&D on her last 2 outings, faring best of those ridden prominently when runner-up in a 10-runner race last week. High drawn isn't ideal but she's hard to rule out, nevertheless.
