Monday 25th May "Picnic At The Races" Bank Holiday Handicap

Mostly ran with credit last term and did so again when third of 15 at Doncaster (1m2f) on 2025 reappearance; this step back up in trip should suit (1m6f winner last October); strong candidate.

Showed some ability in two maidens (1m/1m2f) in autumn 2024 for Owen Burrows; absent 489 days, gelded and changed stables before his last of eight in a novice at Kempton (1m4f; 16-1) 19 days ago, which is not the strongest recommendation but he could easily have needed that run, has better chance going handicapping and wears first-time headgear.

28-1 winner over C&D (soft) in October and returned to that form when second at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) last Tuesday; his fast-ground win was in 2021 but he's clearly a major player if this is one of his good days.

Fair maiden after eight races; beaten a neck in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in January but ran poorly next time (cheekpieces) and moderately on latest (visor); well treated on best efforts but others inspire a bit more confidence.

Won at Brighton (1m2f) on almost this day last year and has scored twice (1m2f/1m3f) on AW in 2026, including at Kempton on latest start; also effective at 1m4f and well capable of another bold show.
