J: Joe Leavy

T: Ralph Beckett

A very useful 1m2f/1m4f winner at his best but lightly raced in recent seasons and came in last of 11 in 1m2f AW Lingfield handicap in February; needs to take a big step forward after a break.

J: Jack Dace

T: Ralph Beckett

2024 November Handicap winner who reappeared with an easy win over 1m2f at Epsom last September; respectable sixth of 22 when bidding to defend his November Handicap crown on sole subsequent start last year; well-beaten fifth on the snow at St Moritz on return last weekend; entitled to come on for that outing but this test might be sharp enough for him.

J: Jack Dace

T: Ralph Beckett

Successful 2024 culminated in a clearcut triumph in this race (soft; has won on heavy); not seen again until Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) six weeks ago but that was another career best, storming just over 4l clear under Jack Dace; another 9lb higher today (13lb higher than 12 months ago) but, going from strength to strength, he may well complete a November Handicap double.

10st 2lb

J: Jack Dace

T: Ralph Beckett

Progressive and useful sort but lacks recent match practice, having been absent since winning last year's November Handicap (1m4f, soft), and isn't crying out for this drop back to a sharp 1m2f.

J: Jack Doughty

T: Ralph Beckett

Won for the Crisfords in April (1m2f, heavy) and for new yard this summer in 1m4f amateurs' races at York and Epsom; has never raced over this far in the mud but latest start showed again that he is effective over 1m2f on heavy; needs extra but he's going well and 5lb claimer is recruited.
