| Fairly useful maiden who was well backed for all-weather debut and duly ran best race when second in 4-runner nursery at Lingfield (6f) in November. Gelded ahead of return and not discounted from this sort of mark. | ||||||||

| Much improved for switch to handicaps on all-weather last year, decisively following up her breakthrough Southwell win at Lingfield in October. Manner of that success suggests there's likely even better to come in 2026. | ||||||||

| Strong gelding who was successful on nursery debut at Newbury (6f) in August. Good placed efforts next 2 starts and may have found quick turnaround catching him out on final start in September. Makes all-weather debut on first start for 6 months. | ||||||||

| Has done well from a low base since the turn of the year, making it 3 wins from last 5 starts in 6-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 2 weeks ago. Did that emphatically so he ought to make another bold bid from 6 lb higher mark. | ||||||||

| Finished runner-up on 2 of 3 starts in maidens and shaped better than bare result when third on nursery debut at Leicester (7f) in July, impressing with how he travelled. Softer ground may not have been ideal at Newbury on final start and betting may prove a good guide here. | ||||||||

| Showed further progress having been gelded since last seen when winning 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 6 weeks ago. Still a shade green then and unlikely we've seen all he has to offer. | ||||||||
