Lightly raced 4-y-o who clearly derived plenty from his York reappearance when posting a good second at Newcastle (1¼m) in June, doing well to get amongst those who sat at the head of affairs. Failed to repeat that effort at Sandown, though, and bounce back required.

Did well under the circumstances (needed stronger gallop) when third of 10 in 1½m handicap at Salisbury in May and made a sound start for current yard back over hurdles when runner-up at Cartmel (17f) 17 days ago. Must be taken seriously.

Found further progress when ending 2025 with success at Goodwood (7f) in October and did best of those lacking a recent run when fourth at this venue (1m) on reappearance. However, went backwards from that effort at Newmarket and now upped markedly in trip in a first-time visor.

4/6
New Bay colt who made the most of his experience fitted with first-time cheekpieces when off the mark in 6-runner maiden at Sandown (1¼m, good) last month, pushed out after hanging left entering straight. That form hasn't worked out and more will be required on handicap debut.

Maiden who hasn't looked the most straightforward but he ran well in first-time blinkers when fifth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Sandown (1¼m, good to soft) 35 days ago, nearest finish. Ought to be bang there with a repeat back up in trip.

Forecasts

Turty Tree (4/6), Devil's Peak (3/1), Cloth Of Gold (9/1), Nap Hand (10/1), Magnatura (16/1)

Verdict

DEVIL'S PEAK hasn't looked the easiest of conveyances but he ran well in first-time blinkers when nearest at the finish at Sandown last month and seems sure to be bang there again back up in trip if the headgear works as well for a second time. Nap Hand made a sound start for his new yard over hurdles at Cartmel recently and is feared most reverting to this code on a decent mark.
