Extremely Zain
A competitive event in which EXTREMELY ZAIN can maintain his unbeaten record now stepping into handicap company, the 3-y-o looking on a workable opening mark after a pair of novice wins. Recency Bias has made a fine start in handicaps himself and is also considered, with the similarly in-form Brighton Boy completing the shortlist.

Cost €185,000 at 2 and looked a good prospect when winning a Newcastle novice (6f) by 7 lengths on debut in December. Did well to overcome the run of the race when defying a penalty to follow up in a 15-runner novice at Newbury (7f) 4 weeks ago and he's sure to go on to better things in handicaps.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury7fGoodFlat1/15Newcastle6fStandardFlat1/10- 13(9)Lir SpecialeJ: Ben RobinsonT: Brian Ellison511-330Age 76/16/113/2

Ended 2025 with back-to-back wins over 7f in the mud at Doncaster. Good third-placed efforts in competitive handicaps on first couple of starts this season but run of good form halted at Newbury (1m, good) last month. Bounce back needed but that's possible.

Went close to landing a second successive Bunbury Cup at Newmarket last July but largely struggled later in 2025. Looked on the way back when ninth in the 28-runner Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f) on return, though, not ideally positioned but travelling and keeping on well.

Bounced back to form to bag 16-runner handicap at Newbury (6f) in April and ran at least as well when second of 14 over that same C&D 4 weeks ago.

Missed a year but he's been on the upgrade since coming back to action, winning 7f Newcastle novice in March and runner-up in handicaps back there and at Carlisle the last twice, the form of his latest run looking strong (winner smart, third scored at Newbury on Thursday).

Quirky sort perhaps should have more wins to his name than he does but he returned this season with a good second at Doncaster (6f) in March and quickly got back to form when third of 11 over 7f there last week, having been left with too much to do.

Won twice at up to 9f for Dermot Weld in Ireland last year. Connections went to 150,000 gns to acquire him in the autumn and stepped up on yard debut promise when excellent second at Chester in May but very disappointing when down the field at Thirsk since.

Three-time winner during his time with Andrew Balding and off the mark for current yard when beating a couple of today's rivals at Thirsk in May. Backed that up with a good second of 11 in handicap at Chester (7f, good) 14 days ago and there's no reason why he shouldn't go well again.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChester7f 1yGoodFlat2/11Thirsk7fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/12Chester7f 127yGoodFlat10/13Thirsk7fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat7/12Goodwood1mGoodFlat9/12- 20(5)DaydreamaJ: S.

Dual 6f winner on good to soft last year.

Ran some good races without winning in 2025 and was given a considerate return from 7 months off (had breathing operation) when sixth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, 12/1) 13 days ago.

Ex-Richard Hannon gelding filled the runner-up spot on first 2 starts for current connections.

Winless since his debut but produced one of his better recent efforts in a first-time tongue strap when a creditable third of 6 in handicap at Redcar (1m, good to firm) 18 days ago. Didn't look the easiest of rides there, though, and he's likely opposable in such a competitive environment.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosRedcar7f 219yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat3/6Thirsk7fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat5/12Newmarket (rowley)6fGoodFlat12/13Newcastle6fStandardFlat7/14Doncaster7f 6yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat16/16- 1(11)YaniferJ: Oisin McSweeneyT: Harriet Bethell772219-Age 822/122/120/1

Runner-up in this last season prior to getting back to winning ways when making all over the extended 7f at Chester at the end of August. Found things too competitive from a higher mark at Ascot next time and he might need a career best to win this on return from 8 months off.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot7fSoftFlat9/15Chester7f 127yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/10Doncaster7f 6yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat2/10York7fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/13Chester7f 1yGoodFlat7/13- 21(12)White Crown StarJ: Clifford LeeT: Ian Williams123339-Age 433/133/140/1

Winner of novice at Kempton (7f) in March 2025 and reached the placings on his next 4 outings in handicaps. Caught wide when last seen at Chester but probably only of note if market speaks favourably returning for new yard (left Andrew Balding 62,000 gns) having been gelded during his 11 months off.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChester7f 127yGoodFlat9/9Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat3/10York7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/22Newmarket (rowley)7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/11Newmarket (rowley)7fGoodFlat2/9- 19(17)GlenfinnanJ: Connor BeasleyT: Michael Dods49-0771Age 633/133/128/1

Headstrong sort who found a well-run race panning out ideally for him as he cashed in on a reduced mark in an 11-runner handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 14 days ago.

Good record at Newcastle but looked a shade rusty after 4 months off when fifth of 6 at Hamilton (5f, firm) recently. On a fair mark back but this is much stronger company than he usually keeps and he might need a shade more going back up in trip with a hood reapplied.
