Verdict

Lots with chances but STIPULATION rates just the pick of the weights and with Billy Loughnane back up he is taken to gain a first win of 2026. Deep Sleep is progressing gradually for James Owen and is next on the list, while Tiger Beetle and Snaafy also need factoring in.

7	Failed to win for Tim Easterby but gradually going the right way for shrewd yard and posted a good third of 10 in handicap over C&D 10 days ago.

10	Capitalised on a reduced mark (also change of headgear) with success in 10-runner handicap here (1½m) last month. Back up 4 lb but this 3-time C&D winner is very much one to consider. 3rd Pick 10 Tiger Beetle Jockey: Zoe Lewis Trainer: Thomas Faulkner J: Zoe Lewis T: Thomas Faulkner	93	-	-	-	23%	7/2
