Ashdown Forest (G)
FAV
Fair maiden on the Flat shaped as if still in good form when third of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (18f, heavy) 50 days ago. Since sold 44,000 gns from Ed Walker and is related to a useful jumper, though Flat form suggests he might be bette…

Berkshire Smudge (G)
Fair handicapper on Flat, having the run of things when scoring at Ffos Las on his penultimate start. Well held at Salisbury next time. Others preferred.

Dissident (G)
[B1]
Fair form at best on Flat but went the wrong way in that sphere for this yard and was below that level when third at Kempton on hurdles bow 2 weeks ago. Blinkers now go on.

Donegal (G)
Fairly useful winner on the Flat in the France and is probably worth a market check sent hurdling, having J. Reynier for 25,000 gns in October.

Dontelimurnamepike (G)
Out of a fairly useful hurdler but jumped awkwardly prior to running out on C&D here a fortnight ago. Has to be treated with caution now.

Dream's Ka (G)
Karaktar gelding. Dam French hurdler (17f winner). Trainer’s newcomers always command respect.

Knighton (G)
Showed plenty of ability despite obvious inexperience when runner-up in 4-runner novice on the Flat at Ripon in September. Out of a half sister to a useful hurdler and looks a likely type on debut in this sphere.

Whatsgoingonmarvin (G)
Progressed into a useful sort on the Flat, winning 3 times in 2025 for Sir Mark Prescott. Possibly amiss when last seen at Pontefract but fetched 115,000 gns at the sales since and will set the standard if proving as adept at hurdling.
