Comment: Narrowly denied a now smart stablemate in a Windsor novice (1m, good to firm) last June having shaped well here (7f) the time before; hasn't quite matched that in handicaps since, similar form all three starts including AW and on his return at Newbury (1m2f, good) last month, but he comes from a strong-staying Aga Khan family and this extra furlong will suit, as may the added cheekpieces; respected.

9/4

Comment: Completed a five-timer between November 2021 and May 2022, including four on AW; the handicapper's got a long memory and a losing run has been the feature since, but a string of consistent efforts include no less than 12 second-placings and he had zero luck when fourth at Lingfield (1m4f) last time; yard continues to tick along very nicely and a well overdue sixth success could be in the offing.

Comment: Won at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) last October for Rae Guest; built on her encouraging stable/seasonal debut at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) when winning at Haydock (1m2f, good) 19 days ago, tongue tied both times; four lesser runs on AW at the start of her career are likely irrelevant and she should be a threat off 2lb higher than last time.

Comment: Comfortably landed a Bath maiden (5.7f, good) for Jack Channon exactly one year ago, but out of the frame in all five outings since including on stable debut over 6f here (first-time hood) last month; may appreciate the extra furlong on breeding, though, so worth considering.

Comment: Made a successful nursery debut when making all at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) last September and didn't run badly when in midfield on her Windsor return (6f, good to firm) last month; half-sister to a multiple AW winner, but not guaranteed to improve for the longer trip and could have been better drawn.

Comment: Had a hot streak last summer when winning four handicaps but it's been a quiet return from a break, with latest defeat coming in a Yarmouth handicap he won 12 months earlier; competitive mark if he can get himself back on track.

18/1

Comment: The winner of three turf handicaps over 1m and only 3lb higher than for the latest at Newbury last July; didn't run too badly back from a break at Brighton and should be sharper this time; only had one run on the AW, though.

Comment: Tailed off in two hurdle races during the winter; won his last Flat start at Wolverhampton in October (9.4f) but on balance of form this 5lb higher mark could find him out.

Comment: Joined this yard for 25,000gns after winning his fifth start for Charles Hills, a 7f maiden at Newcastle; the second has won since, showing useful form; should pay his way in handicaps but perhaps best watched here on first run since October; trainer also runs Beylerbeyi.

Comment: Made a successful handicap debut here (1m3f) last spring; progressive in defeat on his next three starts before ending 2024 with a low-key run on soft at York; last month's reappearance should have blown away the cobwebs and he steps up to 2m with headgear now enlisted; not fully exposed.

Comment: Ended 2024 in good form over hurdles; sent off favourite for his return to the Flat at Goodwood 13 days ago (1m6f, good) but plenty went wrong and that's not the run to judge him on; yard in form and he's one to consider.
