Selected odds by:
Useful 6.5f winner at 2 yrs who didn't kick on following his encouraging fourth in the Greenham at Newbury (7f) last season. Has fared little better in handicaps since being gelded and something to prove having disappointed on only previous attempt at this sort of trip.
|
C&D winner has been a tremendous servant for this yard and he added another 3 victories to his tally during 2024. Bagged some prize money in a higher grade back on turf last time and he isn't one to rule out from a falling mark back down in class.
|
Ended 2024 with a seasonal best when runner-up over 1m at Haydock (heavy) in first-time blinkers. Too free in a change of headgear (now removed) when well beaten on reappearance at Sandown last month. Yet to fully prove himself over this far and will need to settle much better.
|
4-time winner for Archie Watson and ran a career best when third in a 10f Redcar handicap 43 days ago, ran on without given his rider a whole lot of help. No surprise to see first time blinkers applied and he remains open to progress.
|
Seen to best effect when making all to land a 10f handicap at Newbury last September prior to struggling in better company over 12f on final outing of the season. Likely needed the run at Kempton (12f) last month, folded tamely having raced freely. Could be worth another chance back at 10f.
|
Remains a maiden but shaped promisingly following 5 months off/gelding operation when finishing with running left at Doncaster (1m) in March. Unable to justify favouritism when too keen up in trip at Windsor (10f) when again slowly away. Can make an impact from this mark if putting it all together.
|
Successful on 2 of his 4 starts for Charlie Appleby as a 3-y-o and not disgraced in handful of AW outings since ing new yard, though did disappoint back on turf when markedly slow from the stalls at Newbury last month. Has a little bit to prove following that run.
|
Dual winner over 1m last year and showed a good cruising speed when opening his for this season at Yarmouth (10f) last month, going through the race in the manner of a horse who should be able to cope with a step up in class. Makes appeal.

Forecasts
Due To Henry (3/1), Charming Whisper (10/3), Promethean (9/2), Chaturanga (11/2), Mustazeed (6/1), Andaleep (7/1), Silent Age (9/1), Son (12/1), Sierra Blanca (28/1)
CHARMING WHISPER caught the eye with the way he moved through the race when winning over this trip at Yarmouth last month and he may be able to take this step up in class in his stride. Due To Henry was a winner the last time he ran over 10f (beat a couple of subsequent winners) and could be dangerous if able to dictate. He's feared most ahead of Promethean, who deserves another chance to build on the promise of his Doncaster run, while headgear could bring out improvement in Chaturanga.
