Selected odds by:
Progressive when winning 3 times at up to 1m at the end of 2023 but last of 10 in German 2000 Guineas at Cologne on final start for Jane Chapple-Hyam. Ran poorly on only start for James Horton and now finds himself with a new yard having been gelded for his return. Bit to prove.
|
Seemingly ground versatile and having lost his way for Richard Hannon, bounced back to his best on second run for this yard when winning 7-runner handicap at Yarmouth (7f, soft) having raced keenly. Has gone well fresh in the past and no surprise if he picks up where he left on his return.
|
C&D winner struggled for form at the end of last season but fared much better returning from a 6-month break when fourth of 12 at Newcastle (8f) in January, albeit with the benefit of an easy lead. Failed to back that up when last in a 7f Southwell handicap 44 days ago and needs to bounce back.
|
C&D winner in November, making all in testing conditions. Followed that up with a victory at Newcastle and has remained in good form on the AW over the winter. Consistent sort should give another good account, for all he does most of his winning with more give in the ground.
|
Has been running with credit on the AW this winter and returns to turf on a potentially handy mark following wind surgery. Needs to settle but has each-way claims if he does.
|
Winner of 6f Kempton maiden for Andrew Balding and shaped as though worth a return to 7f on final run for that yard, staying on to finish second in a handicap at Newmarket (6f) in September. Since sold for 67,000 gns and open to improvement on stable debut following wind surgery.
|
Successful on debut over 7f for John & Thady Gosden and ran creditably back at that distance on most recent run for current connections, staying on into fourth (hung left) having been slowly away. Addition of first-time blinkers looks a positive and lightly-raced 5-y-o may be capable of better.
|
Progressive in novice events over 7f but has largely struggled in handicaps. finishing last season with a disappointing effort at Hamilton (9.2f) having not looked the easiest of rides. Dropped 3 lb for that and has since been gelded but others preferred.
|
Smooth-travelling sort hit the frame on his final two starts on the AW last season, still shaping as though feasibly handicapped. Could be suited by the return to a big-field handicap and he's very interesting if ready to roll after a 145-day absence.
|
Last win came at Southwell (7f, AW) last April but traded at short prices in-running in handicaps on the turf subsequently. Has been ticking over on the AW in recent months but arrives trying to exploit 5 lb lower turf mark. Not ruled out.
|
Won a pair of 7f novices at the end of 2024 but his progress has stalled in handicaps over recent months. Drop back to 7f may suit but looks to have a bit to find on turf debut.
|
Won back-to-back races last summer but ended time with William Muir & Chris Grassick with a low-key effort. Shaped as though better for the run having finished fourth at Newcastle 18 days ago, but more required in a stronger race back on turf (wears first-time tongue-tie).
|
Three-time course winner, twice over C&D (latest in October last year). Ran well on his reappearance on the AW last month and that should put him spot on for this test. Respected.
|
Has won a trio of races on the AW and his latest run is best ignored having been short of room and considerately handled by his jockey. In good heart prior to that, although he does have more on his plate back on turf in this company.
|
Winner at Ayr over this trip in September when trained by David O'Meara. Gradually went off the boil for that yard but now makes stable debut from only 1 lb above her latest winning mark. One to note in the betting on return.

Forecasts
Bubbles Wonky (9/2), Onemorenomore (6/1), Dapper Valley (6/1), Alzahir (13/2), Imperial Guard (13/2), Zip (7/1), Tropez Power (8/1), Liamarty Dreams (12/1), Stockpyle (18/1), Dolce Courage (22/1), Mereside Madness (22/1), Grabajabba (28/1), Another Investment (33/1), Jenni (50/1), Habrdi (66/1)
A competitive big-field handicap with a few who tend to go forward, and this could be run to suit DAPPER VALLEY who finished last season on a high when travelling smoothly to win at Yarmouth. He's gone well fresh in the past and gets the vote ahead of Tropez Power who may have another race in him off a 5 lb lower turf mark. Another Investment is usually patiently-ridden and could have a big say if ready to roll after a 145-day absence.
