Arcadian Nights²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: Hope Regan⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 72| D

33/1

Hasn't shown his form on turf in 7 attempts since August 2023 and others are much preferred.

Form: 45-4659

(7)

Pomme Pomme^p1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Jack Dace| T: J Channon| OR: 72| CD

9/1

Winless since June last year when she completed a 5-timer. Underwhelming this season and first-time headgear needs to have a positive effect.

Form: 2-95370

(6)

Dryburgh^h⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Luke Catton| T: Oli Rix| OR: 75

8/1

Strong-travelling maiden who looked a shade unfortunate at Doncaster in June. Reportedly finished lame at Ayr since.

Form: 732829

Rascallion⁵⁰⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Taryn Langley⁽³⁾| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 70| D

18/1

Three-time winner in France. Made a bright start over hurdles for this yard last spring but best watched after 16 months off.

Decalogue^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Mason Paetel| T: J A Osborne| OR: 73

9/4

Low-mileage 3-y-o who is steadily improving in handicaps and did very well to open his account at Kempton in this headgear 2 weeks ago, motoring home from a moderate position. Promises to stay this far and 3 lb rise looks rather lenient.

Form: 6-84321

(2)

Oman^p¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Myla Coppins⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 68| D

8/1

Winner at Goodwood in June when refitted with this headgear. Just respectable efforts at best since but he's now dipped below his last winning mark.

Form: 147965

Captain Fox^p1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Donagh Murphy⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 72

13/2

Confirmed the promise he had shown at 2 yrs when making a winning return in Lingfield novice in February. However, he hasn't managed to find any improvement in handicaps subsequently and headgear now applied.

Form: 165575

Gallant Pioneer⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S C Cronin| T: Charlie Pike| OR: 64

16/1

Cheap purchase but has fared a bit better with each start in all-weather maidens. Up in trip for handicap bow.

Form: 565

It's Life³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Charlie Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: Kathy Turner| OR: 56| BF

11/2

Ended 2025 on a low-key note but caused a surprise after 10 months off when shedding her maiden tag at Salisbury. Only just denied the follow up at Brighton next time but went back to going lethargically in first-time headgear there since.

Form: 879-125

(3)

Pangbourne¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Olivia Haines⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 56

5/1

Showed promise on all-weather earlier this year and hasn't fared at all badly switched to turf subsequently, another good third at Sandown latest.

Forecasts

Decalogue (11/4), Pangbourne (9/2), It's Life (11/2), Shady Bay (7/1), Captain Fox (8/1), Oman (12/1), Gallant Pioneer (14/1), Cotswold Cottage (14/1), Dryburgh (14/1), Arcadian Nights (16/1), Pomme Pomme (20/1), Rascallion (33/1)

DECALOGUE was value for a good deal extra when off the mark at Kempton 2 weeks ago so a 3 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Oman is now 2 lb lower than for his Goodwood win in June when refitted in this headgear, so is next best ahead of Pangbourne.
