Night Breeze²²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: S De Sousa| T: Ian Williams| OR: 81| BF

4/1

Completed a hat-trick of wins in middle-distance handicaps at Windsor (11.5f) in August. Good placed efforts on AW prior to shaping much better than the distance beaten suggests when fourth at Chester (12.3f) on final start. Considered on return/back down in trip.

Hamlet's Night^t1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: R Kingscote| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 79

9/2

Fairly useful maiden in France, runner-up 4 times in 2024. Changed hands for 40,000 gns/gelded, shaped as if better for the run after 6 months off when fourth of 7 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f) 2 weeks ago. Better expected down in trip with a tongue tie enlisted.

Form: 62200-4

Azahara Palace¹⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: H Morrison| OR: 77| BF

5/2

Made a winning reappearance at Leicester (8.2f) last spring and ended last season in good form, second of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f) in the autumn. Versatile ground wise and Rossa Ryan an eye-catching booking on return. Respected.

Afloat^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: George Scott| OR: 76| D

4/1

In fine form for Rae Guest last autumn, including an 11.5f win. Off 5 months/equipped with a tongue strap, not seen to best effect (repeatedly short of room) on stable debut when sixth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f) 22 days ago and she remains of interest from this mark.

Form: 23128-6

Dayzee⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Finley Marsh| T: P Attwater| OR: 75| D

17/2

Unreliable sort (has refused to race) and she was strictly operating below her best when last seen on all-weather earlier this year. Others more persuasive.

Form: 0R94-97

(4)

Roland Garros⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 73

11/1

Son of Nathaniel who again ran below form displayed on debut when third of 6 in novice at Southwell (12.1f) 64 days ago, headed well over 2f out and no response. Gets his first crack at handicaps now at least but he does have a little to prove.

Form: 47-3

(5)

Giselles Defence¹⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Ian Williams| OR: 72| D

12/1

Three time winner at 10f last season but he ended the year with below-par displays over hurdles/on Flat and he may prove vulnerable to one or two back from 5 months off.

Form: 105670-

Forecasts

Azahara Palace (5/2), Afloat (4/1), Night Breeze (4/1), Hamlet's Night (9/2), Live Aid (6/1), Solar Bentley (15/2), Dayzee (17/2), Golspie (10/1), Roland Garros (11/1), Giselles Defence (12/1)

AZAHARA PALACE ended last term with good placed efforts at around this trip and, having won on her respective reappearance last season, she appeals as a likely player back from 6 months off with Rossa Ryan an eye-catching booking. Night Breeze and Afloat are others to consider, with Roland Garros and Hamlet's Night another pair to keep an eye on.
