Faeberon (G) FAV
475,000 gns son of Sea The Stars. Ran to a fair level on both starts last year. Well held in 1¼m Doncaster maiden on reappearance but retains potential now handicapping for a good stable.

Improved with cheekpieces added (retained) when making her second handicap start a winning one at Kempton (1½m) 16 days ago. Very much had the run of that race from the front but still appeals as one…

Boilermaker (G)
Didn't show much in trio of novice events at up to 1m last year but took a step forward when fourth of 9 on 1¼m Yarmouth handicap debut (good to firm) 25 days ago. Will stay 1½m and likely to improve…

Manbearpig (G)
Three qualifying runs at up to 9.5f on all-weather at the end of 2025. Steps up in trip for handicap debut after 5 months off. The betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations.

Gemical (F)
Modest form shown in 3 runs in Ireland for Kevin Coleman and well-held fifth on 11f Southwell handicap and yard debut 17 days ago. Improvement will be needed.

Caraway (F)
Yet to better modest form, including in a pair of 1½m Wolverhampton handicaps this spring, although she had an excuse (hampered) when sent off at 6/5 last time. Evidently thought capable of better.

Raven's View (G)
Modest maiden. Plugged on for fourth of 7 in 1¼m Newcastle handicap 33 days ago. Steps up in trip again now tackling turf for the first time.

Maiden who has had a few chances now, albeit not many at this trip. Others are more persuasive.

Not beaten that far when eighth of 11 on 1½m Kempton handicap debut 23 days ago but remote seventh at Beverley (1¼m) since. First-time cheekpieces need to make a difference.
