SAM HAWKENS won a competitive race at Newcastle and even a 7 lb rise may not stop him now he's found his feet for William Haggas. Thriving last-time-out C&D winner King's Scholar rates an obvious danger, while Per Contra is also shortlisted on the back of a good run at Chester a fortnight ago.

    Verdict
    Heavy-ground winner over this trip for Richard Hannon who made it fourth time lucky for his present yard when registering a cosy success at Newcastle (12.5f) 27 days ago. 7 lb rise for that looks fair and he's very much one to consider back on turf.

    Verdict
    Hasn't looked back since stepped up to 1½m+, making it 3 wins in last 4 starts when seeing off 12 rivals over C&D 18 days ago. Raised another 5 lb but further progress can't be discounted.

    Made all on 1¾m Thirsk reappearance and just as good when ¾-length second of 13 to King's Scholar over C&D (good) 18 days ago. Has to enter calculations.

    Three wins in a solid 3-y-o campaign. Ended that campaign with a respectable mid-field finish in the November Handicap at Doncaster. In good hands and no surprise were he to improve again this season.

    C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 16/1, 12 lengths ninth of 13 to King's Scholar over C&D (good) 18 days ago. First-time blinkers need to have a positive effect.
