Listen To Track Radio Next Week Handicap

A three-time course winner who returned from five months off with a good fifth of 21 in the Lincoln at Doncaster; he's proven over this longer trip so must enter calculations eased 1lb.

Winless since 2024 but largely in good nick last season and not given a hard time of it when well held on his return in 1m2f Doncaster handicap in March; can take a step forward now.

A very useful 1m2f/1m4f winner at his best but lightly raced in recent seasons and came in last of 11 in 1m2f AW Lingfield handicap in February; needs to take a big step forward after a break.

Enjoyed a very good 2025 (three-time 9.5f to 1m4f winner) and he signed off with a good sixth in 1m6f Ascot listed race in October when set a lot to do; hood goes on and can't be ruled out on his seasonal return.

A useful ex-French 9.5f scorer who failed to shine in a couple of 9f handicaps at Meydan for Fawzi Nass in February; since gelded and starts out for another new yard here.

Very useful winner at his best; posted a good third over 1m4f here in August but below par on softer ground subsequently; not dismissed off a reduced mark on his return.

Ended last season firmly on the up with gutsy success in 1m4f Newmarket handicap in October; this low-mileage son of Sea The Stars has more to offer in 2026 and is well in the mix despite dropping in trip and up 6lb for his return.

Dual winner last spring (including over C&D) and comes here in good nick after a spell in Meydan; he's not discounted.

Useful ex-Irish winner but he's offered little in a handful of runs for his current yard, beating just two in 1m Newbury handicap on his recent return; others are much preferred.

Looked on the up when twice runner-up in 1m2f handicaps at Sandown and York last spring; not seen out after posting just a fair fourth at Newmarket in July but subsequently gelded and remains with potential for yard among the winners.
