Novello Lad
C&D winner NOVELLO LAD's 3 career victories have come at 6f and he shaped well with a view to stepping back up in trip when third on return at Beverley 23 days ago, left with too much to do on that occasion and finishing to good effect once in the clear. He's selected to confirm the promise of that effort, with Havana Rum and Lord Bertie a couple of likely dangers. Likeable filly Lorna B is also respected on seasonal return.

Pair of 6f wins last summer and unlucky not to finish closer when an encouraging third on reappearance at Beverley (5f) 23 days ago, left with too much to do. Return to 6f rates a plus and current mark looks well within reach.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBeverley5fGoodFlat3/9Pontefract6fSoft (Good to Soft in places)Flat9/10Redcar5f 217yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/14Ripon6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat11/15Pontefract6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/10- 6(10)Noble ConsortJ: David EganT: Julie Camacho112161-Age 54/14/19/2

Very much went the right way from a low base last year, enhancing his form further when scoring at Goodwood (6f) in September. Reportedly bled on that occasion but foolish to rule out further progress given his exploits last season.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGoodwood6fGood to SoftFlat1/11York6fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat6/22Doncaster6f 2yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/8Wolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat2/7Chelmsford City6fStandardFlat1/7- 5(5)Lorna BJ: Dale SwiftT: Seb Spencer161125-Age 49/211/25/1

Progressive as a 3-y-o, winning 3 times at 6f and ending the season in good form, sticking at it in a likeable manner having been caught on the outer flank when fifth at Thirsk (6f) in September. Feasible to think she could do better again this year.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosThirsk6fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat5/16Haydock Park7f 37yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/7Carlisle5f 182yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat1/11Thirsk6fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/9Newcastle7f 14yStandardFlat6/8- 4(7)Havana RumJ: Ethan TindallT: Richard & Peter Fahey44136-2Age 613/213/27/1

Added 2 victories to his tally last year and returned from 3 months off with an excellent second at Pontefract (5f, soft) 6 weeks ago, poorly drawn but finding the race run to suit.

Found things panning out ideally when opening his account for present yard over C&D in October. Disappointed final start but shaped as if retaining ability after 5 months off when sixth over C&D in March. Entitled to be sharper but worth noting all career victories have come with cut in the ground.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster6f 2yGood to SoftFlat6/19Doncaster6f 2yHeavyFlat15/22Doncaster6f 2ySoft (Heavy in places)Flat1/14Ayr6fHeavyFlat3/11Ayr6fSoftFlat2/13- 3(2)GallantJ: Jonny PeateT: Oli Rix60-6260Age 411/19/110/1

Dual winner for Andrew Balding (at up to 1m) who ran best race for present yard when second at Chelmsford (6f) in February. Made mess of the start and never figured tackling 5f at Ascot latest but this return to 6f looks a plus from reduced mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot5fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat11/17Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat6/8Chelmsford City6fStandardFlat2/6Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat6/9Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat10/10- 7(11)Hk FourteenJ: Oisin James OrrT: Tony Carroll123105-Age 611/111/112/1

Won three times over 5f last summer but seemed to be anchored by rise in weights on final 2 starts, latterly when fifth on all-weather at Newcastle in November.

Thrived on all-weather, bringing up hat-trick of 6f handicaps at Kempton in February. Performed creditably twice prior to a lesser effort at Wolverhampton (6f) 5 weeks ago and it's a while since he defied a mark this high.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat5/7Chelmsford City6fStandardFlat3/9Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat5/8Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat1/12Newcastle6fStandardFlat1/9- 11(1)Men Of HonourJ: James SullivanT: Ruth Carr753664-Age 416/120/118/1

Ex-Irish gelding who ended his time with Andrew Slattery with a good fourth at Gowran (7f, heavy) in October. Joined present yard for 12,000 gns thereafter and there could be more to come as a 4-y-o.

Landed a gamble (headgear change) in 9-runner handicap at Leicester (6f) in April. Excuses both starts since, losing several lengths following a tape start when down the field at Ripon 8 days ago.

Winner over 7f for William Haggas who posted best effort for present yard when fourth at Ripon (6f) in August. Below-par display when last seen at Newcastle in October and suspicion this trip may be on the short side for him back from 7 months off.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle6fStandardFlat12/14Pontefract6fGood to SoftFlat6/14Ripon6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat4/12York7fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat12/16Newbury7fGood to FirmFlat8/12- 2(8)CoachelloJ: George WoodT: Mark LoughnaneU03-556Age 833/133/128/1

Last success came on all-weather in December 2024 but absent since a below-par display at Chelmsford (6f) in February.
