Verdict
HYDROPLANE showed he retains plenty of ability when returning from a 2-year absence at Chester last month and figures off a handy mark. He gets the nod in a tricky-looking handicap. Anzac Day is next best.

VerdictLooked a smart prospect as a juvenile, but missed all of 2024 and looked rusty on return from 18 months off at Kempton in April. Posted respectable fifth of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (14f, good) since, however, and remains low mileage. Player. - 4. HydroplaneJ: David EganT: Ian WilliamsF: 342/3

VerdictBack from lengthy absence when creditable third of 12 in handicap at Chester (15.9f, good) 24 days ago. Entitled to build on that and holds strong claims.
