M.C.H. Hutchinson Memorial Trophy Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Smart handicapper who won at Haydock (1m4f, good) off 4lb lower last May and recorded several good efforts in defeat later in 2025; has gone well fresh before.

Last five outings on AW, posting his most encouraging effort when second of 12 in a 2m Newcastle Good Friday handicap; nudged back up 2lb for that but he's still 3lb lower than when runner-up at Chester (2m, good to soft) last September; should go well.

Second career success when shading a tight finish at Goodwood (1m4f, good to firm) last August; ended the year with a poor run at Newcastle (1m4f) in September; subsequently sold out of Ralph Beckett's stable for 30,000gns; new yard runs three and the betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations.

Close second in this race (good) on her 2025 reappearance and went on to score twice at about 1m6f later in the year; returned with a career-best second of 13 at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) three weeks ago, arguably deserving extra credit considering she met a bit of trouble; successful on her two other visits to Ripon; reasons to be positive.

Pretty useful at up to 1m4f in France but only eighth of 12 in 1m2f Doncaster handicap on British debut four weeks ago; the type to click for this yard at some point but possibly a bit further down the line.
