Montezuma
An open-looking sprint which can go the way of MONTEZUMA, who has taken his form up a notch this season and again impressed with how he travelled through the contest when finding one too strong at Musselburgh 3 weeks ago. Heading up the dangers is Juan les Pins, who has added a new layer of consistency to his game of late despite his advancing years. Stirrup Cup, The Good Biscuit and Rock Opera are just a handful of others to consider, too.

Returned an improved model last season with a win and couple of runner-up efforts before his form tailed off in the summer. Creditable third of 12 at Chester (6f, good to firm) on return 9 days ago and he should go well again.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChester6f 17yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat3/12Ayr6fSoftFlat13/25Thirsk7fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat9/13Hamilton Park6f 6yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat7/14York6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/19- 3(14)MontezumaJ: Paul MulrennanT: Jim Goldie326-212Age 47/27/210/3

Low-mileage 4-y-o who has upped his game this season, getting off the mark in 17-runner event at Musselburgh last month. Ran every bit as well from a 7 lb higher mark when second of 12 there (5f, good) a fortnight later (typically travelled well) and fancied to be bang there returned to 6f.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh5f 1yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/12Musselburgh5f 1yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat1/17Musselburgh5f 1ySoftFlat2/12Ayr6fSoftFlat6/13Musselburgh5f 1yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat2/9- 12(2)Stirrup CupJ: David AllanT: Tim Easterby2038-23Age 46/16/113/2

Dual 6f scorer (including over C&D) who encouragingly strung good efforts together but again failed to get the gaps when third of 18 at Thirsk (6f, good) last month. Evidently up to winning a similar event if able to hold his form a bit longer.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosThirsk6fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat3/18Thirsk6fGoodFlat2/15Newcastle6fStandardFlat8/10Newcastle6fStandardFlat3/11Pontefract5f 3ySoftFlat10/12- 11(1)Rock OperaJ: Ethan TindallT: Richard & Peter Fahey9608-73Age 615/29/18/1

Losing run now closing in on 2 years but again didn't get the rub of the green when third of 9 at Thirsk (6f, good) just over a fortnight ago, keeping on when carried left over 1f out.

On a long losing run and was one of several not seen to best effect when sixth of 12 at Chester (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago, likely to have been in the mix with a clearer run.

Ended 2025 with victories at Pontefract and Catterick in October. Has picked up from where he left off this season, making it a third placed effort on the spin when second of 12 at Chester (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago.

Shed his maiden tag as a juvenile over C&D and showed improved form on his first outing for current connections when scoring at Carlisle in September. Ended the year in good form, racing freely without cover when fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f) when last seen in November.

Steadily eased in the weights this year and he capitalised on his easiest task for a while to end losing run at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month, edging ahead late on. Found things tougher at Thirsk (6f) subsequently and the likelihood is he faces another struggle.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosThirsk6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat6/9Catterick Bridge5f 212yGood (Good to Firm to places)Flat1/5Catterick Bridge5f 212yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/9Wolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat5/11Southwell6f 16yStandardFlat9/12- 9(11)AbductionJ: Kaiya FraserT: Jim Goldie-610418Age 816/112/114/1

Building a good record for this rider as he resumed winning ways back on turf at Musselburgh last month. Not in the same form under a change of rider back there a fortnight later but this previous C&D winner shouldn't be underestimated.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh7f 15yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat8/11Musselburgh7f 15yGoodFlat1/10Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat4/12Newcastle6fStandardFlat11/12Newcastle7f 14yStandardFlat1/9- 15(7)Who Wants MeJ: Saffie OsborneT: Iain Jardine603304-Age 422/122/120/1

Remains a maiden and her starting issues are seemingly ingrained, typically very slowly away when fourth of 11 at Catterick (7f, soft) back in October. Career-low mark to work with and an in-form rider booked, but she's hardly a reliable betting proposition.

Went close at Catterick in October and wasn't seen to best effect on either all-weather this year. Easy enough to put a line through his latest effort at Doncaster (7f) 7 weeks ago (unable to get cover and possibly amiss) but more needed to feature returned to 6f.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster7f 6yGood to SoftFlat13/16Newcastle7f 14yStandardFlat4/7Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat4/9Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat10/12Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat7/13- 10(13)Lion's HouseJ: T.

Resumed winning ways over 5f at Newcastle in February and bounced back to form tackling 6f for the first time in months when second of 12 there just over a fortnight ago. Needs to back that up quickly returned to turf and the booking of Marquand catches the eye.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle6f 1yStandardFlat2/12Musselburgh5f 1yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat13/17Newcastle5fStandardFlat5/12Wolverhampton5f 21yStandardFlat3/5Newcastle5fStandardFlat1/11- 7(9)Mae AmorJ: Harry BurnsT: Rebecca Menzies551570-Age 450/150/140/1

In fine form this spring and notched a second win of the campaign in a 15-runner event at Thirsk (6f) last month. Has added a new layer of consistency to his game of late and again ran a cracker when second of 18 at Ascot (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago.

Gained reward for a string of consistent displays when readily ending losing run at Wolverhampton (6f) in March. Possible he's found a busy spell catching up with him since, never involved from a win perspective when fifth of 8 at Musselburgh (5f, good) recently.
