Thurso (G)
[P]
Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton (7f) in October but has largely struggled since, including when never involved over 6f at this track last month. Below last winning mark but a leap of faith required.

Shazani (G)
[B]
Best efforts in 2025 both came at Doncaster over longer trips. Disappointing on each of his 2 outings this year, sweating up badly and lit up by blinkers (retained) on latest outing 16 days ago. Makes all-weather debut.

Belsito (G)
[P]
Second over C&D last August before back-to-back wins at Hamilton following month. Shaped as if needing the run when down the field at Thirsk last time after 6 months off. Entitled to come on for that effort and, with the cheekpieces back o…

Glamour Show (F)
Stepped up on C&D return when length third of 6 to a prolific winner in handicap at Wolverhampton last month. This represents a drop in grade and should be thereabouts for all others make more appeal for win purposes.

Tabby (F)
Returned from 16 months off with an improved ½-length second of 6 on handicap/stable debut at Wolverhampton 8 days ago. The quick turnaround is a slight concern but she remains unexposed and further progress would make her hard to beat.

Neyva's Angel (F)
[H]
Off the mark in a 9-runner handicap over C&D 24 days ago, overcoming a typically tardy start. The form has worked out well, so a 5 lb rise is not excessive for all her temperament remains a concern.

Dicko The Legend (G)
Won at Wolverhampton/York (6f) last year and ended 2025 with a creditable fourth at this course in September. However, held back by sluggish starts on both outings this year and rates a risky proposition at present.

Won over C&D in October but has not been at the same level since. Now below his last winning mark at least and any market support would be interesting.
