Sinchi Roca (G)
FAV
Fairly useful winner in bumpers and perfect start sent hurdling when landing 12-runner Wincanton maiden (15.2f, soft) in January. Didn't progress on back of a fairly quick turnaround when fourth under a penalty at Sandown (2m) latest but c…

Col Du Pre' (G)
A fair winner on the Flat and over hurdles in France in 2024. Lightly raced and posted easily his best effort for present connections when third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f) 4 weeks ago, tiring only late on. A repeat gives h…

The Boss Bear (G)
Built on debut promise when landing a bumper here in May and followed up in 5-runner Plumpton maiden hurdle (20.5f) on reappearance in December. Held back by lingering greenness (also made mistakes) when second at Fakenham since and he rem…

Royal Way (G)

Landed a hat-trick as a juvenile hurdler. Mixed bag during a winless 2024/25 but he did step forward from his reappearance run in November when keeping on for third at Huntingdon (20.6f) 31 days ago. Mark continues to ease and first-time c…

Galactic Charm (G)
[P]
Fairly useful Flat performer who has reached a similar level over hurdles, landing a C&D juvenile last winter. Has rather been going through the motions in handful of starts this time around but refitting of cheekpieces rates a positive ba…

Queenie St Clair (M)
[H]
Improved in a refitted hood when scoring on return/stable debut at Wincanton (15.2f) on Boxing Day and followed that with a respectable third in 7-runner mares' novice at Taunton (16.5f) 19 days ago. Switch back to handicaps in her favour …
