Going BehindVantheman
A competitive-looking sprint, with preference for VANTHEMAN who showed the benefit of blinkers at the second attempt when scoring at Hamilton a fortnight ago. He can build on that effort to land another Sunday Series prize, though Montezuma had excuses on his latest outing and isn't taken lightly, with I'm Next and Woohoo completing the shortlist.

Ended 2025 on a low-key note for Des Donovan but has worked way back to form in 3 starts for current yard, returning to winning ways over this C&D early in the month.

Has upped his game this season, getting off the mark in a Sunday Series event at Musselburgh (5f) in April before a good second over the same C&D 2 weeks later. Left poorly placed at Hamilton (6f) last time, so he's worth another chance.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHamilton Park6f 6yGoodFlat13/13Musselburgh5f 1yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/12Musselburgh5f 1yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat1/17Musselburgh5f 1ySoftFlat2/12Ayr6fSoftFlat6/13- 8(11)Al HussarJ: Oliver StammersT: Grant Tuer3-34325Age 413/2

Proved determined when getting back on the scoresheet at Chester in September and has returned in good heart, going close in 17-runner contest over this C&D on penultimate start. Respectable fifth of 20 at York (6f) 8 days ago and he should give his running once more.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYork6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/20Thirsk5fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat2/17Musselburgh5f 1yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/8Musselburgh5f 1yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat4/17Musselburgh5f 1ySoftFlat3/12- 18(18)WoohooJ: Lauren YoungT: Jim Goldie400-014Age 57/1

Dual winner last season, over this C&D in August on the first occasion, and has returned with placed efforts at Ripon and this venue.

Winner on his third start back for the last 3 years, successful over this C&D in 2025. Also scored at Doncaster last summer and he's now back down to a handy mark with 2 runs behind him this spring.

Admirable veteran who showed an excellent attitude when adding to his career tally at Beverley early this month. Unable to back that up under a penalty at York next time, but this should be more suitable reunited with 7-lb claimer.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYork5fGoodFlat18/21Beverley5fGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat1/7Ripon5fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/8York5fGoodFlat12/18Redcar5fGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat1/10- 10(15)Kings CallJ: Dale SwiftT: Seb Spencer08000-0Age 428/1
