Al Karrar
It's interesting that connections have persisted with AL KARRAR, who could be worth another chance on just his second start in a turf handicap. He's narrowly preferred to Best Rate, who should make a bold bid in a competitive event, while Great Mates looks interesting on first start for a new yard.

Fairly useful Wolverhampton novice winner who was undone by her head-strong ways at Kempton (1m) on final outing for Michael Wigham in February. First-time hood/return to 7f should benefit, though, and Marco Botti has an excellent recent record with new recruits.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat4/6Newcastle1m 5yStandardFlat2/6Wolverhampton1m 142yStandardFlat1/10Yarmouth1m 3yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat3/9Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat6/10- 4(2)PhysiqueJ: Grace McEnteeT: Micky Fenton07-0032Age 611/411/45/2

Front runner who ran easily his best race of the year when a close second off this mark at Beverley last time, and he could be dangerous if able to dictate.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBeverley7f 96yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/11Yarmouth7f 3ySoftFlat3/7Newmarket (rowley)7fGoodFlat15/18Doncaster6f 2yGood to SoftFlat11/19Sandown Park7fSoftFlat7/9- 2(6)Best RateJ: Alec VoikhanskyT: Richard Hannon34-4643Age 47/27/210/3

Consistent sort who hasn't won since December 2024 but ran close to his best when third in a big-field handicap at Newbury last time, doing good work late on after conceding first run to the winner, and he's expected to go close back down in grade.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury7fGood to SoftFlat3/15Newcastle7f 14yStandardFlat4/11Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat6/7Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat4/9Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat4/14- 3(9)LonglaiJ: Benoit de la SayetteT: George Baker730070-Age 88/18/115/2

Followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when poorly drawn at Beverley last time but does at least benefit from an ease in grade/addition of a good-value apprentice.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBeverley7f 96yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat11/11Musselburgh7f 15yGoodFlat5/8Musselburgh7f 15yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/11Musselburgh7f 15yGoodFlat3/10Newcastle7f 14yStandardFlat10/11- 1(4)Al KarrarJ: Dougie CostelloT: Tom Clover36-9Age 612/112/111/1

One-time useful juvenile who ran to a fairly useful level on first start for over 3 years at Yarmouth last September. Below form/likely in need of the run both all-weather starts since, though encouraging that he's turned out fairly quickly and could be worth chancing back on turf.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat9/11Wolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat6/9Yarmouth6f 3yGood to SoftFlat3/5Ripon6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/6Goodwood6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/8- 9(7)Noble GuestJ: Zac LloydT: George Margarson156-356Age 416/112/114/1

Free-going sort who couldn't justify support in a couple of starts for Michael Appleby last year and similar story on stable debut/return (following a breathing operation) at Yarmouth. Handicapper has given him another chance, but first-time blinkers could easily have an adverse effect.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYarmouth7f 3yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat7/7Wolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat4/7Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat5/10Newcastle7f 14yStandardFlat6/11York7f 192yGoodFlat11/17
