17/2
Won 3 of her last 4 starts as a juvenile and added further 2 victories to her tally last term, including over C&D (off 11 lb lower) on her reappearance. Ran poorly in listed company when last seen in September but warrants respect here.

Progressed through last season, ending campaign with back to back victories over this trip at Windsor and York. Remains low mileage and is not taken lightly on return.

Dual winner as a juvenile but proved disappointing last term and has something to prove on first start for new connections here.

Won twice over 5f last term, including first time up at Newcastle, and ended campaign with respectable fourth of 17 in handicap (9/1) at York (5f, soft) in October. Resumes on a workable mark.

Three wins from 10 runs in 2024 and has upped his game in a couple of starts this year, latest when creditable second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 9 days ago. Shortlist material.

Ended lengthy losing run at Yarmouth in September but wasn't in same form at Southwell when last seen 5 months ago and others look better treated.

Won this contest (off 4 lb higher) last season and back on scoreboard when narrowly taking Doncaster handicap (6f, good) on return 16 days ago. Remains fairly treated and must enter calculations.

Twice a winner over this trip last term and posted solid 1¼ lengths fifth of 16 to Elmonjed in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) when last seen 8 months ago. Not out of things.

C&D winner who made encouraging return at Wolverhampton last month. Couldn't build on that behind Dark Thirty at Doncaster latest, though, and others appeal more.

10/1
Off the mark for Sir Michael Stoute at Nottingham in May and acquitted himself well in both handicap starts subsequently, including when third of 5 at this course (9f) in September. Type to make a nice 4-y-o for new yard and interesting to see what market makes of him over this much shorter trip.

Course winner who made a promising start for new connections when good 1¾ lengths fourth of 19 to Dark Thirty in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good, 9/1) 16 days ago, first home in group. Oisin Murphy retains the ride and he looks a likely contender.

Course winner who finished well held, on debut for new yard, in handicap at Kempton (6f) 17 days ago. Entitled to improve for that run but all his victories have come over 7f.

Acquitted himself well in a couple of starts at Wolverhampton last month but finds himself in a stronger contest here and remains with just sole victory from 11 starts.

13:50 Newmarket - 15 April 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

PHYSIQUE figures off a handy mark and really caught the eye on his debut for Pam Sly at Doncaster last month. He gets the nod in a competitive opener. Aramram and Elmonjed head the list of dangers.
