Count Palatine
Useful effort in defeat at Beverley (about 7f) last May and confirmed that stiff tracks suit when winning here (7f, good to firm; sole course start) in August; improved again when successful at Ayr later and no surprise if he comes on plenty from first two runs in 2026.

From the connections
“Count Palatine is relatively inexperienced by all accounts. He's probably a tad better with some ease in the ground, so that combined with the prospects of maybe some headgear, or something like that, to keep his mind on the job could help him improve. There was a little bit of pace early on, although I didn't feel like we were going mad, he really likes this quick ground - Sean Kirrane, jockey.”
“I said to Connor [Beasley, jockey] that the last time Count Palatine ran we sat him handy and I didn't feel he enjoyed that so I said to just drop him in and ride him to finish. He liked the ground and did it well - Michael Dods, trainer, speaking on Racing TV.”
