Alther Walden
A competitive handicap and it may pay to side with the unexposed 4-y-os in the field, with the progressive ALTHER WALDEN getting the nod over Talismans Time. Several have a chance for minor money purposes, with St Faz taken to bounce back for a place.

Low-mileage 4-y-o who got off the mark on final start last year at Catterick (1½m) in August. Improved when winning 7-runner event on handicap debut at Newcastle (12.4f) on return in March. Further progress is expected on first try at a marathon trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle1m 4f 98yStandardFlat1/7Catterick Bridge1m 4f 13yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/4Nottingham1m 75yGood to SoftFlat5/9Windsor1m 31yGood to FirmFlat2/9- 3(4)Talismans TimeJ: Callum RodriguezT: Edward Bethell34/110-Age 44/14/17/2

Lightly-raced gelding who won twice from 3 starts last year, both at Hamilton. 14/1, shaped as if amiss when last of 12 in Melrose Stakes at York (1¾m, good to firm) when last seen in August.

Only seen twice on the Flat in the last 2 seasons and was a creditable third of 9 in handicap at Gowran (1½m, soft) 17 days ago.

Dual winner when trained by Robert Eddery last year. First run since leaving Darryll Holland when creditable 2 lengths third of 7 to St Faz in handicap (9/4) at Lingfield (2m) in March. Was well backed then and any positive market vibes should be noted once more.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park1m 7f 169yStandardFlat3/7Wolverhampton2m 120yStandardFlat2/6Nottingham2mGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat3/8Lingfield Park1m 7f 170yStandardFlat1/8Yarmouth1m 6f 17yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/7- 4(5)St FazJ: M.

Made a great start for this yard, recording an all-weather hat-trick in March. Creditable seventh of 14 in handicap (7/1) at Lingfield (2m) 23 days ago, carrying a 5 Ib penalty. Is lower in the weights here and it would be no surprise to see him feature.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park1m 7f 169yStandardFlat7/14Southwell1m 6f 21yStandardFlat1/4Lingfield Park1m 7f 169yStandardFlat1/7Southwell1m 6f 21yStandardFlat1/6Fairyhouse2m 1f 30yYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Chase6/12- 8(7)Simple StarJ: Jason HartT: Dianne Sayer45128-9Age 816/116/114/1

Was kept busy last year winning 4 times from 19 runs. 40/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at this course (1¾m, soft) 22 days ago, not knocked about. He's a 4-time course winner who steps back down in grade and market may be best guide.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh1m 5f 216ySoftFlat9/13Southwell2m 102yStandardFlat9/9Newcastle1m 4f 98yStandardFlat11/11Nottingham2m 1f 208yHeavyFlat1/8Musselburgh1m 7f 217yGoodFlat1/9- 1(8)Mountain RoadJ: Paul MulrennanT: Jim Goldie5118/Age 740/128/133/1

Signed off for David Simcock with a double in 2024 before running poorly on stable debut. Goes without the hood on the back of a 19-month absence and market may be best guide.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAyr1m 5f 26yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat8/8Chelmsford City2mStandardFlat1/8Newmarket (july)1m 6fGood to FirmFlat1/7Haydock Park1m 3f 175yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/8Kempton Park1m 7f 218yStandard / SlowFlat2/8
