| Largely progressive form, winning twice last season before runner-up in ultra-competitive 3-y-o handicaps at the Newmarket July meeting and Glorious Goodwood. Off 6 months, shaped as if better for run when sixth of 13 over 11f at Kempton 24 days ago. Likely to go well with that behind him. | ||||||||

| Won at Ayr (13f) last June and better form when placed at Ascot and York (twice) later in the season. Possibly unsuited by very testing ground when well held in the November Handicap at Doncaster final start. Contender if ready to go after 164 days off. | ||||||||

| Useful performer in France for Henri-Francois Devin. Picked up by new connections for 45,000 gns last autumn. Regularly wore a hood and tongue tie combination in France, with only the former remaining in place for this British debut. The betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations. | ||||||||

| Winner of 1¼m Redcar novice on reappearance last spring and showed slightly better form in defeat in handicaps at the start of the summer. Off since disappointing in the John Smith's Cup last July but evidently capable when fresh and remains relatively low mileage. | ||||||||

| Four-time winner at up to 1¼m in Ireland in 2025, including on soft at Listowel (1m) last September, but hasn't offered much in 3 outings for new yard in 2026. Best watched unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. | ||||||||

A useful handicap. MARHABA GHAIYYATH's runner-up efforts at a couple of the big meetings last summer represent strong form and, with an outing his belt, he's taken to recapture that level and prove too strong for the reappearing Insanity. Have Secret is next on the list. |
