12/1

Back-to-back winner of 6f handicaps for Hugo Palmer last summer but ended 2025 on a low-key note and little encouragement to glean from his 2 starts for new yard this spring.

Brazen Idol¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Ryan| OR: 70| C

11/4

Multiple sprint winner who shaped as if retaining all his ability after 23 months off when second on stable debut at Kempton (6f) in March. However, backward steps in 2 subsequent runs, well beaten on heavy ground at Lingfield at the start of the month.

Form: 065/277

Hint Of Humour²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 69| D

4/1

Three-time winner on all-weather during 2025. Finished runner up 3 times earlier this year and shaped like she'd strip fitter for first start for 11 weeks when fifth at Newbury (5f, firm) 3 weeks ago. Better showing anticipated.

Form: 3-27225

Isle Of Lismore^v¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 68| D

6/5

Hasn't scored since 2024 but has dropped to a handy mark and stepped up on last month's reappearance when fourth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (5f) 12 days ago, a slow start not helping matters. One to consider in this company with a visor refitted.

Form: 4883-54

Candy Warhol^p,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Tyler Heard| T: S Dixon| OR: 58| D

8/1

Three-time Wolverhampton winner who did enough to suggest he remains in good heart when seventh of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (6f) 17 days ago, forcing tactics just overdone a touch. Expected to remain competitive.

Forecasts

Harry's Halo (11/10), Isle Of Lismore (6/5), Brazen Idol (11/4), Hint Of Humour (4/1), Candy Warhol (8/1), Arabian Cobra (12/1)

ISLE OF LISMORE stepped up on his comeback run despite getting the start wrong when fourth at Catterick and having been given a real chance by the handicapper, he could be worth siding with in a refitted visor. Harry's Halo has returned in good heart and looks the lead threat under Rossa Ryan.
