PHANTOM WATCH had something to spare here last Friday and can defy the penalty under Billy Loughnane. Daretobedifferent has enjoyed a good spell of late and is feared most ahead of Just Typical.

Verdict
Four-time 6f winner for Iain Jardine but ended his time with that yard out of sorts and well held in a pair of 1m Kempton handicaps since joining Adam Kirby. Could only consider if backed.

Verdict
Won on turf at Windsor and all-weather at Kempton (both 1m) in 2025. Off since a below-par effort at Southwell in January and got to be a chance he'll need this.

Landed 5 wins in a highly productive 2025. Never involved back from 5 months off at Kempton 16 days ago but should be sharper for the run.

Placed twice before getting off the mark at Nottingham (1m, good) last month. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (9f, heavy) since. Can make presence felt again.

Dual winner on the all-weather at Lingfield earlier this year. Good fourth of 11 at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 24 days ago but well held at Yarmouth prior to that and turf is a worry.

Verdict
Modest maiden for Ollie Pears, leaving that yard after finishing well held in 1m Ripon handicap in April. Worth a second look in the betting starting out for Charlie Clover. Engaged 8.45 Leicester on Thursday.
