Progressive in 2024 but record this season has been patchy and a change of yards (formerly with David O'Meara) failed to spark a revival here last month.
|
Successful 5 times in 2025. Yet to score during the current campaign but back to form when runner-up twice in July and has found himself on the "wrong" side of the track in big-field handicaps on his last 2 outings (first home in group at Thirsk last time). Respected.
|
Winless since debut but made more of an impact off a career-low mark when second at Windsor last month. Not seen to best effect on very testing ground at Goodwood last time (made effort furthest from rail) but others still strike as likelier winners overall.
|
Winless since his debut when trained by Kevin Ryan and more miss than hit for Seb Spencer last year/this spring. Went with a tad more promise on debut for this yard when a never-nearer ninth of 17 in handicap at York (5f, good to firm) 63 days ago but will need to build on that to figure.
|
Big career best when doubling tally at Redcar in August and has backed that up with a pair of excellent runner-up efforts, finding only a progressive one too good at that track 11 days ago. Went down by only a nose at Wolverhampton just 3 days later and he's likely to be in the mix once more.
|
Has dropped back to a workable mark and produced her best effort of the campaign when second of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 21 days ago, nearest finish. Regular slow starts mean she tends to need things to drop her way, though.
|
Shaped well when second in 7f Doncaster maiden on return but found test too much on softer ground when fifth at Carlisle (7f) in May. Not seen to best effect when tenth of 26 on handicap debut at Goodwood (6f) 59 days ago. Remains with potential following breathing operation.
|
In fine form at Lingfield this spring, scoring in March and twice a runner-up before finding a bit more progress to record a first win on turf in a 7-runner event there (7f) in May. Possibly unsuited by firmer ground when down the field at Doncaster last time and is best watched after 98 days off.
|
Took 17 runs to get off the mark but suddenly went on the upgrade in the summer, completing a hat-trick at Nottingham in June and running as well when third at Newmarket next time. Not quite in the same form on his last 2 outings (over C&D last time) and has since left Pam Sly for 6,000 gns.
|
Course winner who gained third win of 2026 at Beverley (5f) in May. Placed in handicaps at Chester and Doncaster (6f) in July but no obvious excuses for below-par effort at Chester last month, so bounce back is required.
|
Off the mark in a Lingfield novice (7f, all-weather) in May on second start but hasn't kicked on since, failing to capitalise on having the run of race when fifth of 6 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 10/1) 17 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time.
|
Gained back-to-back C&D wins on his first 2 starts for this yard (formerly with George Baker) last month and did well to go so close having completely blown the start when beaten less than a length into fourth in a 12-runner handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good) 10 days ago. Should be bang there.
|
Snapped a losing run at Ayr in July and added to that with narrow victory in 11-runner handicap at Redcar (6f, good) last month. Ran creditably despite not really seeming to benefit from the drop in trip when third of 6 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good, 2/1) 25 days ago and he holds claims again.

Massimo Blue (5/2), Lunar Melody (7/2), Come On Over (9/2), Ormolulu (7/1), New Image (10/1), Mr Cool (11/1), Kats Bob (12/1), Bright Summer (18/1), Goldwork (20/1), An Outlaw's Grace (22/1), Alfa Duplicate (28/1), Mighty Vega (33/1), King's Call (33/1), Fenlander (40/1)
MASSIMO BLUE made a fine start for this yard when winning twice over C&D last month and he can regain the winning thread after a rare slow break put him on the back foot last time. The reliable Come On Over is also shortlisted alongside Mr Cool, who should benefit from the step back up to 6f.
