Verdict

AMBISHIO showed a good attitude to get off the mark over C&D in January and a 3 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up now that he seems to be channelling his energy more efficiently. Comic Strip made an excellent start to life in handicaps towards the end of 2025 and could still have more to offer, while Saucy Jane shouldn't be taken lightly having been unlucky not to finish closer at Wolverhampton.
