Verdict

A smashing renewal of the Wokingham with any number holding chances. REALIGN had clearly come on plenty for his reappearance and made his class tell when scoring in good style at Carlisle 3 weeks ago and rates a big player again under a penalty. His stablemate Binhareer is feared on the back of an excellent York second, with Double Rush another of definite interest having made it 2-2 for Andrew Balding at Newmarket in May. Sondad, Far Above Dream and Completely Random also make each-way appeal.

    Got back on the up with an impressive victory in 19-runner Coral Sprint Trophy at York (6f) in October. Raised 10 lb on the back of that and he improved further when second over same C&D on return to action in May, finishing off his race very well. Up further 5 lb but one to be very positive about.

    Enthusiastic sort who acquitted himself well several times in 2025, including when second in Jersey Stakes here. Did best of those that raced near the strong pace when second in Salisbury listed contest on return 4 weeks ago, albeit looking very awkward under pressure. This tough on handicap bow.
