SILVER STATE has proved a different proposition switched to handicaps with a visor applied, making it back-to-back wins with an easy success at Newcastle 4 days ago, and he can score again. Maria da Silva also arrives bidding for a hat-trick and is feared most, with Port Darwin completing the shortlist.
The Horserace Betting Levy Board prize fund schemes provide for the estimated inclusion of £809,600 in ratecard and incremental prize money at this racecourse from 1st January to 27th March 2026.

PLAY SMARTER
Back on the AW, ATMOSPHERE found some progression in a first-time visor when winning over C&D in October and backed that up when third here next time. He can pick up where he left off, though King of Fury isn’t one to write off from his current mark, with Zoffandia also considered.

COMIC HERO showed plenty on 2 of his 3 starts at 2 yrs and, with the step up to 7f an avenue to further improvement, is taken to open his account. Espanita is a noteworthy newcomer being out of a mare who won numerous Group events and strong market support would put herfirmlyinthe reckoning. Spangle Moon is anotherdebutante to note TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.COMIC HERO

PLAY SMARTER
A match on paper between SILENT STRIKE and Kodi Island. Preference is for the former, who made a promising start amidst inexperience when runner-up at Lingfield last month and looks sure to progress. Charlie Appleby’s gelding also offered plenty to work on at Yarmouth last summer but may find one with race fitness on his side too strong. Caviar Cowboy can complete the frame.

SOLARIZE found his development stalling upped in grade at Southwell in November but he had a hectic start to his career and remains with potential following a break, and some of his earlier form has worked out well. Selenic is open to further improvement having won with a bit in hand at Newcastle, while Hamlet’s Night has developed into a useful hurdler for this yard since last running on the Flat so looks an interesting contender
