12/1

It's now 17 runs since his last win in 2025 and only thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Newbury (7f) 21 days ago. This course scorer needs to take a big step forward.

Blue Prince¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P D Evans| OR: 85

4/1

Ended a losing run stretching back almost 2 years in 7-runner handicap at Salisbury (7f) 18 days ago. Up 6 lb but can make his presence felt.

Form: 909-331

First Ambition⁹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: Michael Keady| OR: 85| D

12/1

Bagged his first 2 races at Newcastle and Southwell in 2025. In good form this season too until well held in 1m Doncaster handicap in March on his final run for Karl Burke. Needs to bounce back for his new stable after a break.

Form: 276-670

Zabeel Alkabeir²⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: J Tate| OR: 83

11/2

Wootton Bassett colt who went 2-3 with emphatic win in 8-runner novice at Southwell (7f) in October. Goes into handicaps now with likely more to offer stepped up to 1m.

Grizedale¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Ray Dawson| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 82| CD

6/4

Landed the odds in C&D novice in August. Yet to build on it sent handicapping, gelded before a free-going twelfth of 16 at York (9f) on his return last month. Well worth another chance.

Kitaro Kich^t²⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: N Callan| T: George Baker| OR: 80| BF| C| D

18/1

A 5-time winner in 2025, scoring readily over 7f here in October. Off since only sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 8 months ago so needs to hit the ground running.

Maximising¹⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 77| BF

4/1

Low-mileage 4-y-o who got off the mark on all-weather at Lingfield (7f) in January. Shaped promisingly on his last 2 runs, doing well to come off a steady pace when second of 10 in handicap there (1m) in March. A player with better to come after a break.

Forecasts

Grizedale (6/4), Maximising (4/1), Blue Prince (4/1), Zabeel Alkabeir (11/2), Port Road (10/1), First Ambition (12/1), Spangled Mac (12/1), Bold Suitor (12/1), Kitaro Kich (18/1), Shihoku (33/1)

MAXIMISING caught the eye when runner-up at Lingfield when last seen in March and this low-mileage 4-y-o is taken to return in style and bag a second success of the season. Blue Prince is feared most on the back of a recent Salisbury victory, although Grizedale figures on a handy-looking mark if back to his best.
