[P]
Won from a higher mark at Wolverhampton in October. Second of 7 in handicap there (13/2) 16 days ago, doing well after conceding first run. Cheekpieces back on. Looks the one to beat.

Al Baahy (G)
Ended a losing run stretching back to early-2023 at Wolverhampton last month and he duly followed up at Lingfield (7/4 fav) 12 days ago over 10f. Returns to handicap company and with drop back in trip no issue, he can go well.

Angelica K (M)
Looked in need of the run when fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (10/3) 29 days ago following a 3-month absence and justified support in 8-runner classified race at Lingfield (2/1) on Tuesday. This is a quick turnaround but she's clearly …
