Verdict
LABICHE made a promising start to life with James Owen when fourth at Wolverhampton on Monday and turned out quickly, could be the answer. Jenson Benson and Far Far Out are in-form rivals, while Saahir could be a different proposition returned to all-weather.

VerdictWasn't particularly fancied in the market but surpassed previous form when fourth of 8 starting out for James Owen at Wolverhampton on Monday. Hood fitted and there should be more to come for this stable. Loughnane also takes over.

VerdictLightly-raced maiden who looked interesting on the back of a stable switch but never looked like justifying support in the mud at Redcar 10 days ago. Better expected here returned to all-weather.- 1. Jenson BensonJ: Gina ManganT: Shaun LycettF: 28465-212

VerdictExceeded market expectations back from 10 months off (fitted with cheekpieces) when second at Hamilton in August and snapped a losing sequence dating back to 2022 at Brighton a month later. Another solid effort when second at latter venue since and can remain competitive. - 7. Far Far OutJ: William CarsonT: Tony CarrollF: 5880042

VerdictFailed to beat a rival on first 3 starts for this yard after leaving Roger Varian but much more like it the last twice, second of 10 at a big price back on all-weather at Kempton (1m). Suited by how that race developed but he's of serious interest back up in distance.

VerdictShaped well when runner-up at Newcastle for her new yard in September. Could manage only tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton next time but latest fifth from a tough draw back there was a bit more like it.

VerdictMaiden who showed enough to think she's got a race in her when runner-up at Wolverhampton in March and got back to that sort of form when creditable second of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (1¼m). Didn't enjoy a smooth passage at Ffos Las but still didn't show enough to seriously consider her.

VerdictFinished 6 lengths fourth in a Southwell maiden (7f) this time last year. Only matched that form in handicaps, not helped by his free-going ways. Drops back markedly in distance.

VerdictYet to win a race but has been knocking on the door on turf, runner-up for the fourth time at Brighton 3 weeks ago, albeit no match for the winner.

VerdictHold-up performer whose 2 career victories have come over 1¼m at Lingfield, overcoming a pace bias for his success in February. Too free, even by his standards, on turf at Brighton 3 weeks ago.

VerdictDual winner on all-weather at Lingfield earlier this year. Good fourth of 11 at Wolverhampton (9.5f) but turf form uninspiring so far.

VerdictGood second on final start for Charlie Johnston but little to shout about in 6 starts for current connections. Has a basement mark as a result but others more persuasive.
