11/8

Progressing well since fitted with cheekpieces, completing a hat-trick in comfortable fashion in 8-runner handicap here (7f) last week. Shouldn't be inconvenienced by the return to 1m and looks well-in under a penalty.

8/1

2-y-o maiden winner who took a healthy stride forward when second at Southwell (6f) on reappearance in April but hasn't reproduced that form since, albeit caught very wide in first-time cheekpieces at this course on most recent outing.

7/1

Little promise in 3 runs so far and this drop in trip isn't sure to suit on handicap debut.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 60

2/1

Ended 2025 with a good second in 7f novice at Lingfield but has failed to kick on this season, finishing fourth of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.4f, good, 15/2) on most recent outing. Needs more.
