Kosometsuke
KOSOMETSUKE showed a willing attitude and looked as good as ever in the process when making a winning debut for Michael Dods over 7f here 2 weeks ago. It's feasible to think there could be more to come from the son of Kodiac, including returned to sprinting, and he shades preference over Catterick scorer Aberama Gold and the potentially well-handicapped Rock Opera.

Two-time winner last season who looked as good as ever returning for new yard when resuming winning ways in a 7f handicap here 2 weeks ago. Showed a willing attitude to edge a tight finish then and there could yet be more to come from him as a 4-y-o.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosThirsk7fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/12Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat4/11Yarmouth6f 3ySoftFlat1/8Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat6/13Ascot7fGood to FirmFlat2/9- 2(5)Aberama GoldJ: Mark WinnT: David O'Meara3339541Age 97/27/210/3

Steadily eased in the weights this year and he capitalised on his easiest task for a while to end losing run at Catterick (6f) 10 days ago, edging ahead late on. Nudged up just 1 lb and possibilities again now he's found the winning habit again.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCatterick Bridge5f 212yGood (Good to Firm to places)Flat1/5Catterick Bridge5f 212yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/9Wolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat5/11Southwell6f 16yStandardFlat9/12Chelmsford City6fStandardFlat3/6- 7(4)Rock OperaJ: Warren FentimanT: Richard & Peter Fahey39608-7Age 69/29/25/1

Losing run now closing in on 2 years but far from disgraced despite not being seen to best effect when seventh in a big field handicap on return at Ripon (6f) 16 days ago. Entitled to come forward from that and he's lurking on a very dangerous mark if putting it all together.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosRipon6fGood to SoftFlat7/16Newmarket (rowley)6fGood to SoftFlat8/9Ascot6fSoftFlat10/10Doncaster6f 2yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat6/15Ripon6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat9/17- 3(7)Kats BobJ: William PyleT: Ruth Carr3345-29Age 89/211/25/1

Successful 5 times over this 6f trip in 2025, including over C&D. Has returned in good order, runner up at Catterick prior to finishing midfield in 16-runner handicap at Ripon (6f) last month.

Four wins from 14 runs last year but possible he needed first start for 6 months when eleventh at Ripon (6f) 16 days ago. Finds himself operating just 1 lb above last winning mark and entitled to be sharper now.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosRipon6fGood to SoftFlat11/16Doncaster6f 2ySoft (Heavy in places)Flat10/12Ripon6fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat3/12Ayr6fSoftFlat8/25Thirsk6fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat4/16- 6(1)Emperor CaradocJ: David NolanT: Paul Midgley3040-40Age 714/114/116/1

A dual 6f scorer in 2025 who resumed from 5 months off with a good fourth of 11 in 6f handicap at Newcastle in March. Easy enough to excuse his subsequent Doncaster run (raced on unfavoured far side) and better showing certainly not ruled out.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster5f 3yGood to SoftFlat13/17Newcastle6fStandardFlat4/11Pontefract6fSoft (Good to Soft in places)Flat12/13Hamilton Park6f 6ySoftFlat4/7Thirsk7fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat12/15- 5(6)Mr DreamsellerJ: Oisin James OrrT: David & Nicola Barron4-3410Age 418/122/120/1

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who found further progress when off the mark in a Wolverhampton novice (6f) in March. Not in same form when down the field on C&D handicap debut 2 weeks ago but that experience ought not to have been wasted on him. Hood on 1st time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosThirsk6fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat12/18Wolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat1/4Newcastle5fStandardFlat4/10Newcastle6fStandardFlat3/8Southwell6f 16yStandardFlat4/6- 8(9)Sugar BabyJ: Alec VoikhanskyT: Peter Niven060127-Age 818/118/120/1

Course winner who tasted success 4 times during 2025, latterly at Redcar (6f) in October. Not at best when seventh at Newcastle on final start the following month though, and this first start for 5 months may well bring him onDateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle6fStandardFlat7/11Newcastle6fStandardFlat2/13Redcar5f 217yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/8Southwell4f 214yStandard / SlowFlat11/14Redcar5f 217yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat6/10- 9(2)KhabibJ: Rhys ElliottT: David Thompson253420/Age 850/150/140/1

Multiple 5f winner who proved largely consistent without getting his head in front during 2024. Absent since finishing down the field at Beverley on final outing that year and market best guide on belated return for new stable.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBeverley5fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat14/16Thirsk5fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/9Thirsk5fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/9Musselburgh5f 1yGoodFlat3/10Beverley5fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat5/11
