Sam's Hope (M)
FAV
[T]
In good form with 4 AW wins since September, showing improvement since focussing on sprinting. Won handicap in field of 6 at this C&D (13/2) 9 days ago when ridden more patiently than usual. Looks capable of defying a penalty.

Honour Your Dreams (G)
Struggling for form, finished 7th of 8 at Wolverhampton (18/1) 20 days ago when taking strong hold. Hood removed and he now lurks on a dangerous mark.

James Glennon | M J Attwater | 6 | 62.1 kg |

Thecoffeepoddotco (F)
[P]
Arrives on the back of three consecutive second-place finishes in maiden/novice races, most recently at Chelmsford after leading until latter stages. First handicap appearance from a fair-looking mark.

Twilight Madness (H)
Won consecutive AW handicaps in December, showing determination for latter for them at Wolverhampton. Disappointed at 15/8 at Lingfield 22 days ago, fading in final furlong and he's now back at 5f.

Level Up (G)
[B]
Stood up well to another busy year in 2025, his third success coming at Chelmsford in October. Another sound effort at Lingfield and now 2 lb below that winning mark.

Papa Don't Preach (G)
[P]
Finally gained reward for consistent in-frame efforts when winning a handicap (4/1) in a field of 8 at Wolverhampton 31 days ago, leading late on. Will remain competitive with cheekpieces back on replacing blinkers.
