January foal by Dark Angel; dam 7f 2yo (August debut) winner (RPR 89), sister to winners Wuheida (1m1f Grade 1 BC Filly & Mare Turf) and Winter's Song (1m2f), out of 1m 2yo Group 1 and US 1m2f Grade 1 winner; encouraging his dam went in first time as a juvenile and he's handed the honour of being the first 2yo representative of the season for powerful yard.

Steady improver on AW who won his third race in that sphere when making all at Wolverhampton in April; bit below that under a penalty when third on his turf debut at Thirsk (also 1m4f, good) but that came just six days later; five-week break should have recharged his batteries and pedigree points to grass being no problem.

Normally reliable and gritty performer, as evidenced by his comeback win at Kempton (AW; made all) in April, so his major flop at Epsom (again 1m4f, good) came as quite the surprise three weeks later; maybe that track didn't suit and his previous body of work means he can easily be given another chance.

Did well to win at York (good to firm) off just 1lb lower in August but only fourth of five in the Great Metropolitan at Epsom (also 1m4f, good, Topteam behind) 17 days ago; that was a shade underwhelming given he'd won the race in 2025 but was a little weak in the market so maybe better can be expected this time.

Exposed 8yo but he's still capable of useful form and scored at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last March; also won over 1m6f on the July course (good to firm; first-time blinkers) in August; returns on a stiff-enough mark with no headgear but they might go a solid gallop which can help.

Novice win came here; signed off for the Gosdens with two poor runs but his reappearance run at Newmarket 12 days ago, following a gelding operation, was promising and strongly suggested that the new trip of 1m4f is what he wants; Billy Loughnane, who is 1-2 for the yard, takes over.

Can lead; chased home two good ones on his debut at Newbury last April but he hasn't built on that and become expensive to follow; did win three-runner maiden at Lingfield (1m4f) in November but his latest second of six at Southwell (1m3f, also AW) was another reversal for supporters; form chance off same mark but tempting to look elsewhere.

Made good progress handicapping for this yard from August onwards, scoring at Southwell (1m6f) then easily defying a penalty at Lingfield (2m, also AW) ten days later; fine effort when fourth in the Old Rowley Cup over C&D (good) in October and had soft-ground excuse on final start of the term; not fully exposed and he's respected on this return.

All starts at 6f; made inauspicious turf debut then modest form in two AW novices; respected yard and step up in trip on handicap debut the straws to clutch at; worth a market check ahead of her return.

Didn't progress for Owen Burrows at around 1m last year and her stable/handicap/seasonal debut over 6f offered little encouragement last month; cheekpieces reached for.

0-16 but he'd gone close at 1m and did so again over 1m2f when third of 13 at Yarmouth (good; Beach Point fourth) on his reappearance last month; returning cheekpieces did little harm when second to unexposed sort over that C&D (good to firm; Beach Point third) a fortnight ago; should be thereabouts again.

Wore cheekpieces when just holding on in six-runner July course handicap (1m2f, good to firm) in August; visored when he stopped quickly on good to soft at Nottingham in October and not seen since a hurdles debut the following month; cheekpieces back on for this return.

Scored on his AW/nursery debut in 2024 but wasn't competitive in just three starts last year; did gain plenty of market traction on the last of them, though, and last month's reappearance at Bath wasn't totally devoid of promise; tries 1m2f for just the second time and he's not fully exposed.

Had a fine time of it once handicapping over 1m2f last term, going back-to-back at Chelmsford (AW) and Leicester (good to firm) in the summer before repeating the feat in AW handicaps on her final two starts of the year; still looks competitively handicapped and no obvious reason why she shouldn't resume her progress on this return.

Two runs last September, belying 25-1 odds when quite impressive over 7f on Lingfield AW; had a much stiffer task at Epsom after (about 1m, good), albeit ran as well as could have been expected in a three-runner conditions race; should have some handicap potential off his opening mark.

Narrowly landed the odds in 7f maiden on AW last September; up against it on final 2yo start but he was gaining with every stride when only just failing on Wolverhampton AW (7f; handicap debut) in April; up 3lb; needs more for the win but should have some improvement in him.

Two 7f wins last July, on AW and at Ayr (soft), but she went up 7lb for the latter success which seemed to put paid to her progress in handicaps; relatively exposed for a 3yo from this yard and likely needs to have done well over the winter to make a winning return.

Busy 2yo for Richard Hannon, winning a C&D novice last May and sometimes acquitting himself well after, despite having stiff tasks; has dropped down the weights and he ran respectably on yard/AW debut at Newcastle recently (7-2), eased when beaten; may well do much better back on turf.

All three runs at 6f, doing best when runner-up on Wolverhampton AW in March following a layoff; those either side haven't distinguished themselves since and he himself faded at Newcastle in April but he's been gelded since and handicaps are more realistic now.
