Poet's Dawn

Age: 11
Weight: 9st 9lbs
Or: 68

Veteran who capitalised on a career-low mark in good style at Ripon and quickly resumed winning ways at Musselburgh earlier this month. Shaped as if still in form in a big field under a penalty at York last week and this less competitive.

Yermanthere (Ire)

Age: 8
Weight: 9st 6lbs
Or: 65

On a long losing run but was much better for return when fifth at Carlisle and he's potentially on a handy mark if coming on again.

Qitaal

Age: 7

On a losing run but he posted a good second at Leicester and backed that up when fifth at Hamilton. Considered down in class.

King Of Fury (Ire)

Age: 6
Weight: 9st 13lbs
Or: 72

Yet to win on turf but is falling down the weights and boxed on to make the frame despite again not really settling at Carlisle 10 days ago. Needs things to drop right.

What's The Plan

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: 75

Won 7f Lingfield maiden in September. Gelded over the winter and better for return when good third of 12 at Salisbury under this rider last month. Player on the back of that.

Saxophonist (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 1lbs
Or: 72

Stepped up on his qualifying runs when third at Doncaster on return. Checked out a bit tamely at Hamilton since but the ground was very fast that day. Worth another chance.

Roc De Fer (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 8st 12lbs
Or: 69

75,000 gns Sea The Moon colt who showed quite a bit of promise given it was his third quick outing when fourth at Chelmsford in December. Improvement expected now handicapping/up in trip (also gelded) so a major player at the foot of the weights.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
18/12/25	Chelmsford City	1m	Slow	4/9	Flat
11/12/25	Chelmsford City	7f	Slow	4/4	Flat
26/11/25	Southwell	7f 14y	Std	12/14	Flat

Timeform Verdict

ROC DE FER hails from a yard that has an excellent record with handicap debutants so a big run could be on the cards up in trip on return, especially if there's market support. What's The Plan and Qitaal are feared most.

Betting Forecast

6/1 Poet's Dawn, 8/1 Yermanthere (Ire), 6/1 Qitaal, 15/2 King Of Fury (Ire), 7/2 What's The Plan, 13/2 Saxophonist (Ire), 5/1 Roc De Fer (Ire)
