Al Barez
AL BAREZ arrives on the back of a good run on the all-weather and might be able to snap a losing run. John Butler has his team in form so his new recruit Spring Bloom is a potentially dangerous opponent having dipped to a career-low mark. The shortlist is completed by Thunderous Love, whose tremendous 2025 included a reappearance success.

C&D winner on good last autumn. Not beaten far when ninth of 11 in 7f Newcastle handicap on reappearance and should be sharper now.

Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 26 days ago, faring best of those held up.

Winning debut over 6f at Ffos Las in August. Creditable start to his handicap career when fifth of 9 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap on reappearance in January but well beaten at Southwell 11 days later. Freshened up ahead of return to turf.

Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. Below-form seventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (5f) when last seen in December (final start for Darryll Holland). New stable in good form and a market move would be interesting having dipped to a mark in the 60s for the first time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell4f 214yStandardFlat7/13Chelmsford City6fStandardFlat3/9Newmarket (rowley)6fGood to SoftFlat7/9Catterick Bridge5f 212yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat5/10Newmarket (july)6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flatur/14- 8(7)Bay BreezeJ: David AllanT: Tim Easterby750920-Age 715/215/28/1

Five wins in a very productive 2025. That included a reappearance success last spring so a 6-month absence isn't a concern.
