Shihoku
Following a close second at Wolverhampton in December, SHIHOKU has had excuses the last twice so he is taken to get his head back in front for a yard boasting an excellent record with new recruits. The hat-trick seeking I'm Workin On It is feared most, ahead of Advancing.

Not the most straightforward and without a win in handicaps last year, but making seasonal/stable debut he was well-backed (3/1) and ran up to his best when second of 10 at Lingfield 20 days ago. Task is now to build on latest effort.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park1m 1yStandardFlat2/10Newbury1m 2fSoftFlat10/13Nottingham1m 75yGood to SoftFlat2/10Yarmouth1m 2f 23yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat5/9Goodwood1m 1f 11yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat8/16- 7(7)I'm Workin On ItJ: Robert HavlinT: Rod Millman1422-11Age 47/23/110/3

Three-time course winner (all at 7f), in first-time cheekpieces when forging clear for success in 10-runner contest 28 days ago.

C&D winner on debut and made a successful start for current yard in handicap at Wolverhampton in December. Has run well both outings this year, fourth of 12 at Newcastle 26 days ago, and he can remain competitive.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle1m 5yStandardFlat4/12Wolverhampton1m 142yStandardFlat4/9Wolverhampton1m 142yStandardFlat1/12Newcastle1m 2f 42yStandardFlat6/12Sandown Park1m 1f 209ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Flat7/9- 1(5)Cavolo NeroJ: Daniel MuscuttT: James Ferguson216843-Age 411/211/25/1

Successful 2 of first 4 races and, with cheekpieces applied, showed improved form in defeat when third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) in September.

Best effort on only third run for current yard when second at Wolverhampton in December. Hasn't been seen to best effect both outings since, hampered soon after the start when fourth of 8 over C&D in January.

Enjoyed a productive spell on all-weather in early-2025. However, he ended the year struggling for form and didn't fare much better back in blinkers when fourth of 10 at Lingfield 20 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark neverthess and good draw to operate from here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park1m 1yStandardFlat4/10Kempton Park1m 2f 219yStandard / SlowFlat6/6Lingfield Park1m 2fStandardFlat6/10Wolverhampton1m 142yStandardFlat7/11Wolverhampton1m 142yStandardFlat9/12- 10(8)Elouise's PrinceJ: Jude FernandesT: Luke Dace9-78714Age 416/120/118/1

Upped to 1m, gained a first handicap success at Lingfield last month and ran at least as well when never-nearer fourth of 8 at the same C&D 18 days ago.

Fairly useful winner in France. However, after 4 months off/gelded ahead of first run since leaving Christophe Ferland, he proved headstrong in first-time hood when ninth of 10 in handicap over C&D 28 days ago.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat9/10Craon7f 210ySoftFlat6/9Deauville1m 1f 98ySlowFlat2/5Saint-cloud1m 1f 207yHeavyFlat3/3Saint-cloud7f 210yVery softFlat3/5- 6(6)Helm RockJ: Tom MarquandT: Daniel & Claire Kubler695810-Age 822/122/125/1

Took advantage of reduced mark at Haydock last summer.

Showed borderline useful form in France (stays 10.5f) for Mathieu Pitart. After 4 months off, possibly needed the outing when tenth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f) 22 days ago, so this run should reveal more.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park1m 2fStandardFlat10/12Marseilles Borely1m 2f 97yGood to softFlat2/16Saint-cloud1m 1f 207yVery softFlat7/16Deauville1m 1f 98yStandardFlat3/14Dieppe1m 208ySoftFlat3/15- 11(10)Midnight's DreamJ: Luke MorrisT: Joseph Parr800-539Age 550/150/140/1

Form went the wrong way in second half of last year, but better signs when third at Newcastle in January. However, on first run since leaving Roger Varian he finished well held over C&D 2 weeks ago.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat9/11Newcastle7f 14yStandardFlat3/9Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat5/8Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat11/12Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat10/14
