Last Shamardal
Promise amid inexperience at Newcastle on his debut in February; still looked green when winning a 6f maiden back at Newcastle five weeks ago; comfortably on top at the finish and brings potential now stepping up to 7f for his handicap debut; lower draw would have been preferred, though.

Arabian Cobra
11-race maiden; solid effort in blinkers at Southwell five weeks ago and likely to give his running but could prove vulnerable to less-exposed rivals.

Moby Quick
Ended 2024 with a close third over C&D; similar form when second at Newcastle on last month's return to action; not fully exposed and his rider Liam Wright takes off a handy 5lb.

Sabrimento
5f win at Bath when trained by Brian Meehan; runner-up twice for new yard this year and conditions shouldn't be an issue; cheekpieces the headgear of choice today.

Amor Cordis
No great progress in four 2yo runs; gelded prior to his return from six months off; has accessories fitted but the widest stall is troublesome.

Invincible Melody
Runner-up in both handicaps, over C&D in February and at Kempton last month; sneaking up the weights but could still have his best days in front of him.

Penelope Valentine
Placed in her first three handicap runs before running out the easy winner of a modest affair at Kempton in February (7f); an 8lb rise against stronger opposition may find her out.

Sherlock
Not at his best at Newcastle when last seen but his first two handicap runs were encouraging; still has some potential and the betting should guide.

Optimatum
Unplaced in three 2yo runs but there was promise on debut and again at Newcastle when last seen; gelded since; potential improver now handicapping.

Yehudi
Promising third over C&D in October when last seen; could rate higher this year but may need this return to action.

Bad Habits
Second over C&D on final start for George Boughey in January; poor form in four runs for new stable, the latest at Newcastle last week; risky.
