Verdict

YES I'M MALI has done well on the whole for David O'Meara this season and can build on his recent C&D second to score for the second time this year. Fenlander arrives on the back of a hat-trick and has to be feared, with veteran Spring Bloom also considered given his consistent recent form and good course record.

Verdict
Completed hat-trick at Lingfield last spring but lost his form after, refusing to race on final start of 2025. Has now fallen below his last winning mark, however, and produced his best effort of this campaign when fourth of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago.

Verdict
Has made a positive start for a yard which gets the very best out of this type, winning at Thirsk in April prior to a second in a 20-runner York handicap the following month. Confirmed he remains in good form when second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (firm, 9/2) 14 days ago. Leading player.

Verdict
Proved better than ever when resuming winning ways in 10-runner handicap on the Rowley Course (6f, good to firm) in May, albeit seen to very good effect sticking to the near rail. Found a 6 lb mark (unchanged) anchoring him when sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 28 days ago.

Verdict
Keen-going sort who took 17 runs to get off the mark but arrives here seeking a 4-timer, having won 6f handicaps at Leicester in April/June and Nottingham (good to firm) 23 days ago. Should go well again from just 2 lb higher.

Verdict
Front runner who showed a good attitude when justifying support on the Rowley Mile (6f) last November. Close third in cheekpieces here (7f) on his penultimate start but ran no better than respectably when sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (firm, 9/1) 14 days ago.

Produced a fair effort when winning on the all-weather at Chantilly in December for Waldemar Hickst. Well beaten on hurdling debut for N. George & A. Zetterholm last time and market will prove best guide returning for new yard.

On a long losing run but he's been in pretty good form having joined John Butler this season, placed for the fourth time in 5 starts when second of 16 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 29 days ago. Record at the track is hard to knock and he should give another good account.

Winner of a 6f Kempton novice last autumn for Oliver Cole. Creditable third at Ripon on yard debut in April and was posted wide at Windsor next time. Placed again over 6f at Kempton last month and didn't really convince upped to 7f at Yarmouth last time. Drops back in trip sporting cheekpieces.
