Lordsbridge Grey¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: S Woods| OR: 66

7/2

Improved sent handicapping when third at Yarmouth (1m) on final outing last year but things haven't really gone to plan this season, not fully seeing out the longer trip when fifth of 7 at this course (1¼m, firm) recently. Up another 4f in trip and that must temper enthusiasm somewhat.

Form: 463-775

5/6

Ended a losing run stretching back the thick end of 5 yrs in 7-runner event at Ffos Las (2m, good) 9 days ago, leading 2f out having tanked through the race under this claimer. 4-lb penalty seems unlikely to prevent the follow up provided this doesn't come too soon.

Form: 68653-1

Twilight Safari¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Aiden Brookes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 64

12/1

Fair maiden at best for Harry Eustace last year but little impact for current connections under both codes, more than likely flattered in a slowly-run race upped markedly in trip when third of 4 at Catterick (2m, firm) recently.

Form: 6467-03

Nanny Park¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Sara Ender| OR: 60

11/4

Fair form without winning in 2025 for James Fanshawe. Below that level for her current yard though seems to be finding some form again, appearing to prove her stamina when third of 6 in handicap at this course (1½m, good to firm) recently. This extra distance poses further questions.

Form: 33-8073

Golden Flame (5/6), Nanny Park (11/4), Tazaman (11/4), Lordsbridge Grey (7/2), Twilight Safari (12/1)

GOLDEN FLAME snapped a near 5-year losing run in emphatic style at Ffos Las recently and given the manner of that success, a 4-lb penalty seems unlikely to prevent the follow up. He gets the vote over fellow veteran Tazaman, who ran his best race for current connections at Redcar recently but may have to settle for a third silver medal on the spin.
