Balmacara

9st 5lb

J: Charles Bishop

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Useful but he is 0-12 since a Doncaster novice double in spring 2024 and not particularly solid on 2026 form; on a difficult mark returned to handicap level and isn't sure to uphold a consistent Sandown record.

9st 8lb

J: Clifford Lee

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Useful but is 0-12 since completing a Doncaster novice double in spring 2024, essentially proving quite difficult to place; hasn't strictly improved for a switch to hold-up tactics this term (seemingly being taught to settle better); unlikely to regain the winning thread on these terms.

9st 2lb

J: Charles Bishop

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Listed runner-up at Sandown (1m, soft) last September and third in the same grade at Haydock (7f, good) four weeks ago on reappearance; however, he was comfortably beaten in that latest start and is 0-11 since winning novice contests at Doncaster in spring 2024 on second and third starts; up against it.

J: Callum Hutchinson

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

None too consistent in 2025, running well when second in 1m Listed event at Sandown (soft) in September but poorly twice afterwards; returns from a layoff and may find that conditions place the emphasis too much on speed.

J: Charles Bishop

Form this term features a good effort, behind the subsequent QEII winner, at Sandown (Listed) on penultimate run; did too much up front latest; 2-2 over C&D (soft-ground novice wins) and looks interesting back here.
