Successful 3 times in 2025 and largely in good nick this season without winning, fifth of ten in handicap at Ascot (2m, good to firm) 8 days ago. Not out of things.

Very lightly raced in recent seasons but showed he's still no back number when a solid tenth of 20 in handicap at Newcastle (2m) 50 days ago. Needs to build on it.

Started 2026 with ready successes at Musselburgh and Hamilton this spring. Not seen to best effect when sixth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (13f, good to soft) in June. Won this in 2024 and back up markedly in trip, is weighted to go well in pursuit of another Sunday Series bonus.

A 4-time winner over hurdles last summer. Has quickly made his mark in Flat handicaps too, landing a quick hat-trick in 4-runner handicap at Nottingham (14f, good) 17 days ago. May do better still stepping up in trip. Very much one to consider.

Low-mileage 4-y-o who bagged 2m handicaps at Ripon/Catterick this season. Posted another solid effort with seventh of 13 in handicap at York (2m, good) 23 days ago. Possibilities off an easing mark.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-8| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR:  73
Progressive young stayer who cosily made it 3-4 this season in 3-runner handicap at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) 15 days ago. Up another 2 lb but she's open to further progress in her bid for a four-timer.

Forecasts

Campeona (13/8), Letsbefrank (3/1), Sixty Plus (4/1), Pole Star (5/1), Treasure Islands (10/1), Laafy (25/1)

Verdict

Jim Goldie's C&D scorer LETSBEFRANK rates the pick of the weights and now stepping back up considerably in trip looks the way to go trying to land another Sunday Series pot. Both Campeona (second choice) and Sixty Plus bid for four-timers and rate big threats though, while the consistent Pole Star is another to consider in an intriguing handicap.
