Azure Zain (G)
Sole career win came last June and is best forgiven his latest run when fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (10/3) in November, hampered 3f out and forced wide. A little less exposed than most of these, so needs taking seriously.

Blue Lakota (G)
Has been successful on 2 of his last 4 starts, including in 6f handicap at Newcastle (10/1) 26 days ago, always in control from the front. Big chance if he can back that up.

Fan Mail (G)
Secured first handicap success at this C&D last October but wasn't in the same form when sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (5/1) 111 days ago, racing off the pace and proving one paced. Needs to bounce back following a break.

Lequinto (G)
Back to form when runner-up in 5f handicap at Lingfield (14/1) 18 days ago, beaten only a head in a well-run race that brought his stamina into play. Respected back up in trip.

Returned to winning ways at Chelmsford (6f) in January, doing well to overcome interference. Has proven inconsistent since, though.

State Of Madness (G)

Made it 3 wins from his last 4 starts at Newcastle in December. Ran another solid race when third of 11 in handicap at Kempton (4/1) 21 days ago, shaping better than the bare result from his high draw. His current mark may not be beyond hi…

Dicko The Legend (G)
Won at York in July after breathing operation and wasted no time getting back on track when fourth of 10 in C&D handicap (9/1) on final outing in September, doing well under the circumstances given the ground he made up and perhaps doing t…

Dark Side Thunder (G)

Won at Chelmsford in December and shaped as if back in form when fourth of 9 back there on most recent outing, racing closer to pace than ideal. One to consider.

Vince Lombardi (G)

In good form on AW, resuming winning ways in 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (16/1) 23 days ago, controlling matters from the front. Should remain competitive.

Jesse Luc (G)

Won 6 times in 2025, including three at this C&D. Shaped as if retaining all ability when fourth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (12/1) on recent comeback, going with zest. Interesting returned to this venue .

Pianoforte (G)
Yet to fully fire for current connections after changing stables last summer, running out of steam having been keen when seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (13/2) 26 days ago. Bit to prove.
