Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: R M Beckett| OR: 65

15/8

Below market expectations both starts at 2 yrs and, after 9 months off (had been gelded), finished last of 5 in maiden at Windsor (6f) last month. Blinkers on switched to a handicap and much more like it when second of 14 at Salisbury 3 weeks ago. Up in trip and should be a big factor.

Form: 55-52

India Gold²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tyler Heard| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 65

14/1

Hasn't been seen to best effect either start since winning a 7f Musselburgh maiden, left poorly placed held up on reappearance at Newmarket. Eased 3 lb and this a slight drop in grade.

Form: 44316-9

Bird Of War⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Callan⁽³⁾| T: C Hills| OR: 65| D

13/2

Stepped up in handicaps during the autumn, channelling his energy more efficiently when running out a comfortable winner of a 7-runner nursery at Newcastle (1m) on final outing in November. Reverted back to free-going ways on Nottingham reappearance in April.

Form: 79441-8

8/1

Left qualifying form well behind when making a winning nursery debut at Leicester in October. Not in the same form over C&D 2 weeks later and off since (gelded) but he's in good hands.

Bosom Pals^p1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: William Cox| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 64

25/1

Showed a good attitude when making a successful start in nurseries at Thirsk (7f) last summer. Well held next time before possibly needing the run upped to 1m when fourth of 7 at Nottingham 35 days ago. Also may have failed to stay and cheekpieces now applied.

Form: 62810-4

Footstepinthewoods²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 63

9/1

Consistent rather than progressive so far, keeping on for fifth over 7f at Salisbury 3 weeks ago. Has work to do with Swiped.

Form: 55-005

Aneirin's Sword^b,t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne| OR: 62| D

25/1

Upped his game in handicaps this year, in first-time cheekpieces when doubling his tally at Wolverhampton in February. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggested when fourth of 6 at Southwell (1m) but was never really a factor at Kempton. Second turf start.

Form: 123548

Barbuda Bay⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: R A Teal| OR: 62

25/1

Runner-up in a weak 7f course maiden last summer and found out in stronger races since, shaping like a non-stayer over 1¼m in April. Given a short break and back in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 20-86

(3)

Tough Date^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: George Bass| T: J Channon| OR: 62

13/2

Tough mark on what he achieved in his qualifying runs and yet to make a significant impact in handicaps. This is a slight drop in grade, at least.

Form: 632707

Solar Phoenix²⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: R A Teal| OR: 60

17/2

Debut fifth over C&D in October wasn't devoid of promise but unable to match that form both starts soon after. Market can guide on reappearance/handicap debut.

Form: 556-

(7)

Denby's Dream^h²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: Charlie Pike| OR: 59

10/1

Failed to go on from her encouraging debut third for Paul Attwater as a 2-y-o but found her feet for new connections, runner-up twice in April, including over C&D. Must bounce back from a heavy defeat at Kempton 3 weeks ago.

Form: 045220

Musical Soldier^t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Libby Swallow⁽⁷⁾| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 56| BF

20/1

Made all over 7f at Wolverhampton last month. Beaten favourite twice since but runner-up effort back at that venue 11 days ago was a sound one. Should be in the mix back at 1m with apprentice taking over.

C&D winner in October but didn't come close to that level both subsequent starts to end 2025.

Forecasts

Swiped (15/8), Tough Date (13/2), Bird Of War (13/2), Thisonesforyou (8/1), Solar Phoenix (17/2), Footstepinthewoods (9/1), Denby's Dream (10/1), India Gold (14/1), Musical Soldier (20/1), Time For Action (20/1), Aneirin's Sword (25/1), Barbuda Bay (25/1), Bosom Pals (25/1), Leia Antilles (80/1)

SWIPED stuck to his task well when runner-up at Salisbury 3 weeks ago and with 1m expected to be within range, he looks the answer. Musical Soldier and Tough Date are viable rivals.
