Celeborn (G)
Debut winner at Leicester in June 2024 and showed much improved form to score in impressive fashion in 13-runner handicap at Epsom on his only outing in 2025. Clearly had his issues to not have been out since but couldn't be in better hand…

Dante's Lad (G)
Dual winner for George Boughey last year and made a good start for new connections when third at Meydan in January. Failed to cut much ice in 3 subsequent outings over there and has a tricky draw to overcome back on British soil after a co…

Londoner (G)
[P]
Has a modest strike rate but put it all together when getting up close home in 14-runner handicap at Lingfield (1¼m) last month. Will probably continue to run well but isn't an obvious type to follow up returned to turf.

Let's Dream (G)
Made a winning return at this meeting last season and ended his campaign on a high when landing 19-runner handicap at York (good) in October, turning in a career best to fend off a gritty rival. Returns from 6 lb higher but well drawn and …

Harvey (G)
Fairly useful turf winner in France for Christophe Ferland who has been gradually progressive for new connections, taking his form up a notch when winning 12-runner handicap at Doncaster (1¼m) just under 6 weeks ago. Fancied to be in the s…

Bravais (G)
[P]
Useful for Ger Lyons in Ireland last year but hasn't offered much in 4 starts for current yard, returning with a leg wound at Wolverhampton a couple of months ago.

Spioradalta (G)
Had a terrific 2025 campaign, scoring 5 times, including over C&D in September. Has returned better than ever this year, again displaying a first-class attitude when landing 10-runner handicap at Ripon (1¼m, good) 3 weeks ago. Likes to go …

Rastnet (F)
Lightly-raced filly who is going the right way, off the mark in novice at Wolverhampton in December. Found more improvement sent handicapping when runner-up on all 3 subsequent starts and not taken lightly on turf debut for yard among the …

Seagolazo (G)
[V1]
Placed at Newmarket (1m) and Southwell (1½m) last season and although he ran creditably from a ratings perspective after 6 months off at Redcar (1m, good) recently, it was pretty laboured stuff in truth. Back up in trip and a first-time vi…

Wanderlust (G)
Off the mark at the seventh attempt for Andre Fabre last season, justifying long odds-on favouritism in 10-runner maiden at Angers in September. Returns to a handicap for his new yard (sold for 44,000 gns) and interesting to see what the m…

Galyx (G)
A dual winner in 2024 who was lightly raced last season, posting his best effort when third at Carlisle (11f) in June, albeit not entirely convincing at the trip. Absent since but worth a second look with his stable amongst the winners.

Organ (G)
Completed a 7f/1m hat-trick on good/good to firm last May/June. Lost his way on his final 3 outings but took a clear step back in the right direction after 7 months off when fourth of 10 in handicap at Epsom recently. One to bear in mind.

Hamadhan (C)
Progressing gradually and took another step forward when third of 14 in maiden at Dundalk when last seen 7 months ago. Has since left John Patrick Murtagh (sold for €24,000) but looks the type to do better now handicapping.

[P1]
Fairly useful maiden who finished runner-up 4 times in 2025, his best form coming on heavy ground in September. Gave his running back on turf following a 6-week break when fourth of 14 in handicap at Newbury (1¼m, good) last month and now …
