Sallaal
Has run respectably on soft; hooded on last two starts, with a back-to-form second of six when stepped up to 1m2f for C&D handicap (good) on 2026 reappearance; raised 5lb since and probably not straightforward but that was a promising effort here from out the back (ran on well with too much to do) and he has to be in serious calculations.

From the connections
“Sallaal ticks all the boxes. He's very well related to a lot of nice horses, he's a Frankel and that's in him as he's a little bit quirky sometimes, but he's still a big baby and we brought him here hoping he'd race properly and relax, and he did. He realised what his job was in the last furlong. I felt Arctic Grey come to me and we both got racing together down the hill. When I gave him a reminder he really put his head down and galloped strongly through the line, which is what we were all expecting and hoping he'd do - Ray Dawson, jockey.”
“Sallaal has been a true professional. The only time he wasn't was when they quickened and he couldn't find his legs, but he dealt with it quite well. He showed a bit of class - Jack Mitchell, rider.”
