Runners Spotlight

1
Son
Favorite

Record is only 1-10 but he's capable of useful form; two attempts at Newbury comprise his sole win (in 2023) and a good fourth in the Greenham on this card last year; gelded since last run; interesting back here.

Jockey: Pat DobbsTrainer: Richard Hannon
2
Two Tempting

Did well last term, winning five times, but crept up the weights as a result and currently looks unfavourably treated in races of this nature, as latest effort (in the Lincoln) seems to confirm.

Jockey: Rob HornbyTrainer: Jonathan Portman
3
Metal Merchant

Useful handicapper who registered sole success last season when beating Godwinson (2025 Lincoln winner) in this contest on reappearance; now 6lb higher but still warrants respect on seasonal debut.

Jockey: David ProbertTrainer: Jack Channon
4
James McHenry

Ran creditably in notable handicaps (1m/1m1f) towards the end of his 2024 campaign, Cambridgeshire runner-up the final time; appears to have a good prize in him; the booking of William Buick adds appeal; successful on reappearance in the last two seasons; very solid.

Jockey: William BuickTrainer: Edward Bethell
5
Arisaig

Scored against her own sex at Glorious Goodwood (1m) but showed no further progress afterwards in 2024 and no respite from the assessor leaves her looking weighted to the hilt; others preferred.

Jockey: Callum ShepherdTrainer: Charlie Johnston
