Running for the first time since Gelding No 1, 2, 3.
Stewards Note: AWRAAD: Following its run on 1/9/2025 it was reported that the horse was unsuited by the going.
TIMEFORM VIEW DAIZEN beat one who was recently placed in a competitive handicap off 80 when winning his maiden at Ayr last autumn so a mark of 74 could easily underestimate Rebecca Menzies’ charge. Reciprocated’s early promise is still fresh in the memory and, having been gelded, he’s taken to get his career back on track and provide the chief threat ahead of Alaminos.
TIMEFORM VIEW Bagged a 6f Ripon L,isted event at the end of last summer but it didn’t require any more than a fairly useful effort and she struggled in her 3 subsequent starts. David Allan, who partnered her to both wins last year, is on stablemate Daydreama here.

TIMEFORM VIEW It could be worth siding with NO RETURN, who is now 5lb lower than when finishing second at Lingfield in January and while he’s barely beaten a rival home in 3 subsequent starts, he was a winner of 2 of his final 3 runs on turf last year Azure Zain and Great may emerge as the main dangers, while Yorkshire Glory is bound to be popular following his all-weather exploits in recent months and he has to enter calculations, too.
