Runners Spotlight

1
Diyaken
Favorite

Debut winner in France and runner-up at Ascot on only run for Gary Moore; returning from 1221 days off when finishing right behind Wild Goose at Kempton (2m, good), despite bleeding from the nose; the nagging concern is that the second run back from an absence isn't always as good as the first.

Jockey: Richie McLernonTrainer: Jim & Suzi Best
2
Wild Goose

Went up 12lb for winning so well at Ludlow in December (2m, good to soft; first run in a tongue-tie) but probably bettered that form when runner-up at Kempton (good), finishing just ahead of Diyaken; solid chance with Aamilah Aswat again aboard.

Jockey: Aamilah Aswat(10)Trainer: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls
3
The Tide Turns

Initially promising over hurdles for Gordon Elliott but lost his way under both codes and left that yard for £1,600 in August 2024; twice pulled up since returning from his long absence.

Jockey: Lewis Stones(3)Trainer: Stephen Allen
4
Benvoy

In the reapplied blinkers he beat a fair yardstick at Huntingdon just before Christmas (2m, good to soft) but no shows since then, in a visor and blinkers; looks risky with cheekpieces now turned to.

Jockey: Gavin SheehanTrainer: Jo Davis
5
Fight My Fire

Hasn't made any striking progress since winning his maiden in October but it wasn't a bad run off 2lb higher here last time; shouldn't be far away.

Jockey: Brendan PowellTrainer: Joe Tizzard
