Having changed hands for 90,000 gns, KODI LION made a pleasing return to action at Thisk and with this stiff 6f promising to suit, he's fancied to build on that. Dorney Lake was better than ever when a ready winner at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago so he's second choice, ahead of First Folio.

    Verdict
    Ended lengthy losing run at Yarmouth in September but wasn't in same form at Southwell and Newmarket reappearance 11 days ago was hardly brimming with promise. Eases in class and should strip fitter with that under his belt.

    Ended 2024 in top form, winning 3 of last 4 starts, including over 7f here in November. Big price and almost certainly needed reappearance at Thirsk. Better expected here down in trip.

    Course winner. Fifth of 7 in handicap (11/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 36 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and this will reveal more returned to turf/dropped back in trip.

    Verdict
    First run since leaving John & Thady Gosden and career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm, 5/2) 21 days ago, readily. Shortlist material with 6 lb rise perfectly fair.

    Verdict
    Latest win at Wolverhampton over 5f in December and probably best to excuse a lesser effort when ninth of 11 back there a fortnight ago given 7f tested his stamina. First run for yard after leaving Craig Lidster and this is his trip, but he may just need the run.

    Verdict
    Signed off last season with a good second in 7-runner handicap at Newbury (7f, heavy). Subsequently sold from Charlie Fellowes for 90,000 gns and showed enough on reappearance over 7f at Thirsk a fortnight ago to make him of serious interest from this mark.

    Verdict
    Gained both wins at Newcastle and shaped better than ninth of 13 in handicap would suggest back there 16 days ago, not given a hard time after he was denied a clear run. Hasn't had much exposure to turf.

    Verdict
    Stood up well to an intensive campaign last year, signing off with fourth win in 9-runner handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy), readily. Off 179 days and up 6 lb, which asks a question of this veteran.

    Verdict
    Gained one of 3 wins from 11 runs last year at this venue. Reappearance fourth of 9 in handicap at Beverley over 5f 10 days ago was a sound return and 6f looks in his favour.

    Verdict
    Confirmed debut promise when landing odds in 10-runner maiden at Newcastle in January 2024 (5f) before leaving Kevin Ryan. Similar form when second of 12 in minor event at Nottingham (6.1f) in May of that year but bombed out 3 weeks later and off since. Mark looks stiff even if all is well.

    Verdict
    Has thrived since the application of a hood, making it 6 wins from his 8 starts when making all at Southwell (6.1f) earlier this month. New mark kicked in and he gave an excellent account of himself back on turf in a much better race when fourth at Musselburgh.
