Tomorrow, May 3, 2025FlatClass 47f

A valuable handicap for the grade and this is very competitive. Despite not looking the most straightforward, SOLAR ARMY progressed again to land a 7f Kempton handicap last time and he remains open to further improvement back on turf. Arbitration has shaped as though this return to 7f should suit and could be lurking on a dangerous mark, while Nahash was much improved on handicap debut and could well have more to offer. Rockin' The Boat, whose debut form is working out, also makes appeal.

    Showed plenty of dash to get off the mark in a 7f Leicester maiden last month, drawing clear under mostly hand riding. Open to further improvement on handicap debut but this is much more competitive.

    Verdict
    Showed improved form on first run in a nursery when runner-up at Newbury (7f) in September and wasn't far off that when only beaten by a less-exposed type on final outing last season. Could well be more to come this season but this looks his toughest test to date.

    Verdict
    Winner on handicap debut at Ayr (7.2f) last season and reproduced that form on first start this season, shaping as though crying out for a step back up in trip when fourth in a 6f Doncaster handicap 7 days ago. Respected back at 7f.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced maiden probably needed the run after 7 months off when sixth of 9 in a 7f Newbury handicap last month. Dropped 1 lb but may require further leniency from the handicapper.

    Fair 2-y-o over 5f for Charlie Johnston last season when shaping as though he'd be suited by this longer trip. Gelded for handicap/yard debut and will need to improve to trouble the best of these.

    Promising debut third behind 2 useful types (second won the Nell Gwyn last month) in a July course maiden last August but failed to build on that in two subsequent starts. Not one to dismiss with Ryan Moore aboard for handicap debut.

    Verdict
    Sea the Stars colt typically travelled strongly when off the mark on stable debut (following wind surgery) at Kempton in March. Improved again when runner-up over C&D last month, though didn't find as much as looked likely off the bridle. Remains one to keep on side.

    Verdict
    Has a progressive profile despite not looking altogether straightforward. Found improvement to get off the mark in a 7f Kempton handicap 38 days ago, quickening to settle the race despite carrying his head awkwardly and then idling. Could well be more to come back on turf.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced Beckford colt shaped well over 1m on second handicap start latest, showing enough speed to suggest this drop to 7f may well be in his favour. One to consider off a potentially favourable mark.

    Verdict
    Found plenty of improvement on handicap debut (following 6 months off) when a clear third in a 7f Southwell handicap last month, not yet looking the finished article (hung left in the home straight). Further progress could be on the cards back on turf.

    Verdict
    Given a positive ride when running his best race to date on final qualifying run last season, finishing third of 13 in a Kempton novice (7f). May well do better on handicap debut for trainer/jockey combination who won this last year.

    Verdict
    Hasn't been seen to best effect in two starts in handicaps, latest slowly away and hampered early when fifth of 9 over C&D. On a fair mark but this is a much warmer contest.
