Arc £1Million Bonus Bigger Than Ever Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Won twice over C&D for David O'Meara and last win was in this race last year; looks well treated on that form but he's failed to reinvent himself as a hurdler for current yard and was tailed off back on the Flat here (12.4f) in July; that was after a third wind operation and he has plenty to prove after another break; tongue-tie back on.

Debut winner; gelded prior to finishing third in handicaps at Sandown (1m2f, good) and Kempton (1m3f; both runs in cheekpieces) in August and he had an excuse on soft ground last month; still has potential after only five starts and could be dangerous in new headgear.

210,000gns yearling; record of 4232 in novice/maiden events and she finished a clear second behind a subsequent winner at Ripon (1m, good) in July; out of a 1m2f Listed winner and she's an interesting contender now upped to this trip on handicap debut.

Won over hurdles at Cartmel (2m1f) in July but was pulled on his return visit the following month; on dangerous mark back on the Flat but has bit to prove after that last run and he's not won in this sphere since April 2023.

In the first three late last year in his three qualifying runs (1m/1m2f, AW/soft); finished in rear on handicap debut at Ayr last month but that was in a Class 2 event after a lengthy absence; should benefit from that run and he needs checking in market on this big drop back in grade.
