Resumed winning ways at Southwell (11f) in March and backed that up when second over the same C&D a month later. In better heart than finishing position suggests last 2 starts and yard enjoying a good run at present.

Completed a turf hat-trick in 9-runner handicap at Chepstow 3 days ago, beating Alazwar by a length. Has won on the back of quick turnarounds in the past and remains well treated on old form despite a 4 lb penalty. One to take very seriously.

Returned to form from out of the blue when 4-length winner at Southwell in March and not disgraced off revised mark next 2 starts. Was always behind on first run back from a breathing operation last time. Won this race under this rider in 2025.

Has finished in the frame on all 4 outings this year, length second of 7 to Mao Shang Wong in 1¼m handicap at Beverley on latest. Should give his running but others preferred for win purposes.

Better known as a hurdler, adding 2 further wins this spring. Won 9-runner handicap at Thirsk in April, making all. Below that level under a 4 lb penalty at Newcastle 11 days later and unseated back over hurdles last time. First run after a breathing operation.

Successful twice on the Flat for Nick Littmoden last summer but hasn't shown much for multiple connections this time around and was always behind at Salisbury last time. Cheekpieces back on and below last winning mark but hard to make a logical case for him.

Creditable efforts when placed on 3 of last 4 starts, though would have benefited from stronger gallop when 5 lengths third of 6 to Sisterandbrother at Beverley on latest. Cheekpieces replace visor.

Second on the Flat at Newcastle in January but poor efforts on both outings in this sphere since, going with little fluency on the back of a breathing operation when down the field at Catterick. Didn't finish his race off over hurdles since and a tongue tie is now on.

In frame on first 2 starts this year and shaped as if still in good form when 3¼ lengths sixth of 11 to The Craftymaster in 2m handicap at Lingfield last. Yet to prove as effective on turf, but step back in trip should suit on debut for stable that does well with recruits from other yards.
Timeform Verdict
PRIDE OF NEPAL arrives at the top of his game and given he remains well treated under a penalty, he should be hard to beat turned out quickly. Jack Langley makes plenty of interest on debut for a new yard, while Arranmore arrives in better heart than his form figures might suggest.
Betting Forecast
10/1 Arranmore, 3/1 Pride Of Nepal, 14/1 Yakhabar, 9/2 Kitsune Power (Ire), 40/1 Speechman (Usa), 12/1 Max Of Stars (Fr), 25/1 Apache Eagle, 50/1 Yurinov, 40/1 One Million Dreams (Fr), 8/1 Bruce Banner (Ire), 50/1 Bouboule, 6/1 Jack Langley
