Lexington Blitz
A useful sprint. Robert Cowell pair LEXINGTON BLITZ and Rhythm N Hooves arrive on the back of decent efforts at Musselburgh over Easter. The former was bang there from the off and gave best only towards the finish in that competitive race and is taken to resume winning ways now. Tropical Storm was behind the Cowell duo in that same Musselburgh contest but left the impression the outing will bring him on. King of Light could also have a say if fully primed for his first start since the autumn.

Listed winner at York over 5f last May. Lost his way subsequently but his mark has come down as a result and he should be sharper for last month's Musselburgh reappearance (not helped by being hampered at the start).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh5f 1ySoftFlat8/14Doncaster5f 143yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat9/21York6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat14/20Ascot5fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat14/14Ascot5fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat17/20- 10(2)Lexington BlitzJ: Edward GreatrexT: Robert Cowell22219-3Age 49/27/24/1

Back to winning ways at Catterick (5f, good to soft) last autumn. Cracking reappearance effort when third of 14 at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 27 days ago, in the firing line throughout.

Enthusiastic front-runner who proved better than ever when easy winner of 5f handicap at Haydock (good to firm) last autumn. Good third in 5f Lingfield listed event (all-weather) on reappearance and possibly unsuited by testing ground when down the field at Musselburgh since.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh5f 1ySoftFlat13/14Lingfield Park5f 6yStandardFlat3/6Beverley5fSoft (Good to Soft in places)Flat3/5Haydock Park5fGoodFlat1/9York5fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat6/7- 11(10)Rhythm N HoovesJ: Saffie OsborneT: Robert Cowell235-445Age 611/29/25/1

Three wins in 2025, the latest at Newbury (5f, good to firm) off 1 lb higher in August. Respectable efforts in his 3 outings this year, with the ground softer than he ideally wants it when fifth (reopposing stablemate Lexington Blitz third) of 14 at Musselburgh 27 days ago. Enters calculations.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh5f 1ySoftFlat5/14Southwell4f 214yStandardFlat4/12Newcastle5fStandardFlat4/14Wolverhampton5f 21yStandardFlat5/6Newcastle5fStandardFlat3/9- 3(4)ClearpointJ: Alistair RawlinsonT: Simon Hodgson1112-22Age 68/18/19/1

Has thrived on all-weather in recent starts, completing a hat-trick last autumn and posting good runner-up efforts on his last 3 outings.

Consistent sort (third in last year's Portland) but this regular slow starter doesn't have a great strike-rate (2-22). Should come on for his Newmarket reappearance 17 days ago but others are stronger for the win again.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewmarket (rowley)5fGoodFlat6/8Southwell4f 214yStandardFlat3/7Doncaster5f 3yHeavyFlat10/12Ascot5fSoftFlat2/11Doncaster5f 143yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat3/21- 2(8)Spartan ArrowJ: Hollie DoyleT: Archie Watson61-7880Age 69/115/28/1

Smart gelding who was a 4-time winner in 2025, signing off with a Group 3 success at Dundalk in October, but has failed to fire in 4 outings this year. Needs a change of headgear (cheekpieces for blinkers) to help spark a revival.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPontefract5f 3yGood to SoftFlat13/13Southwell4f 214yStandardFlat8/12Jebel Ali4f 214yFastFlat8/8Meydan4f 214yGoodFlat7/10Dundalk5fStandardFlat1/14- 9(5)King Of LightJ: Jason WatsonT: Stuart Williams279014-Age 411/111/110/1

Really found form in a cheekpieces and tongue tie combination for Stuart Williams last autumn, winning 5f Haydock handicap before creditable fourth of 11 at Ascot (5f, soft). There could be more to come in 2026 if he can sharpen up his starts.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot5fSoftFlat4/11Haydock Park5fGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat1/10Doncaster5f 143yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat14/21Ascot6fGood to SoftFlat9/19Windsor6f 12yGood to FirmFlat7/12- 6(9)TreforJ: Charles BishopT: Charles Hills113210-Age 511/111/110/1

Did well last year, notably a win in a York Ebor meeting handicap (5.4f, good to firm) in August. Possibly unsuited by softer ground when down the field in the Portland at Doncaster on final start. Much depends on whether he's fully tuned after 7 months off.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster5f 143yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat17/21York5f 89yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/20Windsor6f 12yGood to FirmFlat2/12Doncaster5f 3yGood to FirmFlat3/6Ripon6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/9- 5(6)Rogue EnforcerJ: Ashley LewisT: Archie Watson181921-Age 522/122/120/1

Dual winner on heavy ground for Peter Chapple-Hyam as a juvenile in 2023. Three wins in Europe last year, including a Milan listed, suggest he's still very useful ahead of this return to Britain for a new trainer.

Useful form in the US earlier in his career. Limited impact in 3 outings for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland last year and hard to know how much he achieved when going close twice at Saint Moritz for Olly Murphy in February.
