Tomorrow, FlatClass 27f

BELA SONATA has an absence to overcome but she showed an excellent change of pace to land a Newbury handicap in good style in July and is still unexposed after just 4 career starts, so she's an appealing candidate. Stateira was no match for a big improver at Southwell on her most recent outing but could still have more to offer if her enthusiasm can be channelled the right way, with Irish-raider Nikki Swango completing the shortlist.

    Verdict
    Improved following a break when making all to land a 1m handicap here in November, readily justifying favouritism. No match for a big improver at Southwell subsequently but still can't be taken lightly.

    Verdict
    Improving type who made it 2 wins from 4 starts with an effort verging on useful in 9-runner handicap at Newbury (7f, good) in July. Off since but that form has worked out well and an 8 lb higher mark could estimate her.

    Rounded off a fantastic 2025 with another impressive success here (1m) in December. However, was possibly found out by a further 6 lb rise in the weights here on most recent outing.

    Found improvement back in calmer waters on all-weather debut, winning 8-runner handicap from less-than-ideal position at Southwell (8.1f) 92 days ago on final start Ed Walker. Since purchased for £32,000 by shrewd ownership group and merits respect on stable debut.

    Verdict
    Capitalised on falling mark when winning 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 5/1) in December, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Ran about as well as could be expected from a 5 lb higher mark back up in grade when fifth of 6 at this course (1m) last week.
