13:12 Wolverhampton (Class 6) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (9/4 +32%) Cargin Bhui	2.25 9/4(+32%)	(2) Cargin Bhui 9/4, Had too much to do in a race dominated from the front after missing the break and meeting trouble, beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time. Drawn wide again but has been generously dropped a further pound and can go close. Losing run up to 19, but placed in all three starts on Tapeta last month; each-way claims.
2	8 2nd (8) (3/1 -33%) Albert Cee	3 3/1(-33%)	(8) Albert Cee 3/1, Built on a recent revival on his second start after a wind operation when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell last time. Effective at 6–7f and remains well treated on old form. 2lb rise for recent Southwell success still leaves him 13lb below previous winning mark.
3	6 3rd (6) (17/2 +29%) Woodhay Whisper	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(6) Woodhay Whisper 17/2, Won by a neck off an 8lb lower mark here in November. Raced too freely when stepping back up in trip and finished eighth, beaten 7l off 64 last time. Drops 1lb and had been consistent prior to that run. Just 2-30, but her record over this C&D reads 221224; worth considering.
4	1 4th (1) (14/1 +0%) Macarone	14 14/1(+0%)	(1) Macarone 14/1, Found nil when making too much use of up in trip and well beaten in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Drawn wide and returning from a short break. Effective at 5–7f. Needs a bounce back from a mark that looks high enough. Held at Newcastle the last twice but 2-2 over C&D; worth a second look returned here.
5th	10 5th (10) (10/1 +0%) Good Karma	10 10/1(+0%)	(10) Good Karma 10/1, Did not get home when stepping up in trip, beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Had been in good form beforehand and returns from a short break. Effective at 6–8f and was back to form prior to that run. All three wins have come over 7f including one here; opposable over this trip.
6th	4 6th (4) (7/2 +53%) Nacho Nacho Nacho	3.5 7/2(+53%)	(4) Nacho Nacho Nacho 7/2, Won by a neck off a 1lb lower mark here three starts ago. Raced freely in front before tiring late when fourth, beaten 3l off 65 last time. Drops 1lb and remains effective at 6–7f but faces competition for the lead. Made all over 7f here in December; not sure the return to 6f is in his favour.
7th	5 7th (5) (25/1 +0%) Sonic Si	25 25/1(+0%)	(5) Sonic Si 25/1, May not have stayed when beaten 10l after stepping up in trip in a maiden at Chelmsford last time. Returns from a long layoff for a top course trainer. Effective at 5f but form has tailed off since going handicapping. 0-8; market informative on stable debut after more than a year off.
8th	3 8th (3) (20/1 +0%) Early Release	20 20/1(+0%)	(3) Early Release 20/1, Saddle slipped when dropping away down the field in a handicap here most recently. Has a wide draw to contend with. Effective at 5–6f. Needs to bounce back after that mishap. Two efforts over C&D since winning at Kempton have been moderate; needs to rebound.
9th	9 9th (9) (20/1 -150%) Cooramook	20 20/1(-150%)	(9) Cooramook 20/1, Ran to form when conceding first run and beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time. Effective at 6–7f and there may be a little more to come if the fractions are more favourable. Placed a few times but is 0-14; market should be revealing on stable debut.
10th	7 10th (7) (50/1 -257%) Punchbowl Flyer	50 50/1(-257%)	(7) Punchbowl Flyer 50/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 7l, in a handicap at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 5–6f. Veteran remains in form and returns to all-weather racing from a mark that looks fair. Can go well fresh so five-month absence not a big issue but a bit to prove on Tapeta debut.

ALBERT CEE really struggled on the turf last season which resulted in a falling handicap mark and the son of Aclaim was able to take full advantage at Southwell latest. He was only doing enough that day and a 2lb rise looks more than fair so, whilst a few of these have something to prove, he is fancied to go in again. Cargin Bhui continues to frustrate favourite-backers but it looks only a matter of time before he's back in the winner's enclosure. Spare a thought for Nacho Nacho Nacho too, who could benefit from a strong pace.

The vote goes to ALBERT CEE whose 2lb rise for last month's Southwell success still leaves him favourably treated on previous form.

13:42 Wolverhampton (Class 4) 6f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (5/2 -11%) Mr Dreamseller	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(2) Mr Dreamseller 5/2, Improved for the drop in trip when fourth, beaten 2l, in a novice at Newcastle on his latest start. Suited by 5f and has probably reached his level. Has shown promise in the last two of his three Tapeta novices; return to 6f should suit.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/1 +50%) Correspondence	5 5/1(+50%)	(1) Correspondence 5/1, Possibly needed the run when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Trained by a top course trainer but has struggled since going handicapping and has a bit to prove. Has become regressive and his stable debut at Chelmsford certainly needs improving upon.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/8 +54%) Raveena	1.375 11/8(+54%)	(4) Raveena 11/8, Possibly challenged too early and set it up for the closer when third, beaten 3l, in a novice at Chelmsford most recently. Likely flattered by previous run. Trainer is in form, she returns from a short break and is suited by 6f. Placed in both starts since switched to AW though latest effort was a bit disappointing.
4	3 4th (3) (7/2 -155%) Cerelia	3.5 7/2(-155%)	(3) Cerelia 7/2, Below form when fourth, beaten 5l, in a maiden at Newcastle last time. In good form prior to that. Effective at 7-8f and her penultimate run has been boosted, giving her a good chance. Disappointing last time having shown ability in first two starts; drop in trip may help.

CERELIA is the only one of these without an official rating but the standard which is set by Mr Dreamseller is far from lofty, and she can prove too strong. The daughter of Wootton Bassett hasn't been the strongest of finishers over 7f and the mile, which is surprising given her pedigree, so perhaps a drop to sprinting will change her fortunes. Raveena isn't without a chance and is more appealing than Correspondence, who arrives with something to prove.

This looks quite tricky despite the small field. Mr DREAMSELLER looks the most solid option with the step back up to 6f likely to suit.

14:12 Wolverhampton (Class 6) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (9/1 +36%) Oldbury Lad	9 9/1(+36%)	(8) Oldbury Lad 9/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 4l, in a handicap here latest. Best at 6f and 7f but remains an exposed maiden. Didn't run badly in a 0-55 handicap over C&D ten days ago, but is now 0-17; more needed.
2	11 2nd (11) (1/1 +92%) Woodrafff	1 1/1(+92%)	(11) Woodrafff 1/1, Had no obvious excuse when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Had been in good form prior, the trainer is in form, and he is effective over 7f and 8f, so could bounce back down in class. Won two 0-55 handicaps last year; makes the shortlist on his best form back at this level.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 -9%) Legendsoftheland	12 12/1(-9%)	(4) Legendsoftheland 12/1, Continued in poor form when beaten 3l in a handicap here last time. Returns from a break, is probably effective over 6f and 7f, but has very little worthwhile form. 0-12 but drops to the level for the first time; has been gelded and undergone wind surgery.
4	5 4th (5) (22/1 -38%) Marisitta	22 22/1(-38%)	(5) Marisitta 22/1, Below form once again when finishing down the field in a classified race at Chepstow most recently. An exposed maiden with little recent encouragement. 0-19 and hasn't been seen in over six months; probably best watched.
5th	7 5th (7) (12/1 -118%) My Boy Jack	12 12/1(-118%)	(7) My Boy Jack 12/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 2 1/2l, in a classified race here latest. Suited by 6f and 7f but is on a long losing run and remains in only moderate form. All wins have come over 6f here; record of 3-82 does suggest a degree of caution.
6th	10 6th (10) (12/1 +14%) Tootsie	12 12/1(+14%)	(10) Tootsie 12/1, Had too much to do after blowing the start when fourth, beaten 4l, in a handicap here latest. Effective over 7f and 8f, still a maiden but has been running well of late. 0-21 but a few of her recent efforts give her each-way claims.
7th	9 7th (9) (50/1 -79%) The Cola Brasil	50 50/1(-79%)	(9) The Cola Brasil 50/1, Had every chance but ran below form when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Effective over 6f and 7f, with his mark easing, but a bounce back is needed. Has lost his way lately including in three starts for this yard.
8th	1 8th (1) (6/1 +40%) Buttercross Flyer	6 6/1(+40%)	(1) Buttercross Flyer 6/1, Set it up for closers when beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 7f but needs to bounce back after that effort. Successful the last time she raced at this level; has run well over C&D; player.
9th	2 9th (2) (6/1 -33%) Dequinto	6 6/1(-33%)	(2) Dequinto 6/1, Ran to current form when fourth, beaten 3l, in a handicap at Southwell latest. Blinkers are tried for the first time and he is effective over 6f and 7f, but needs to bounce back. Seemed to run above himself last time, but now 0-20 so not sure to repeat it; blinkers on.

Recent form can often count for plenty in these types of event and with that in mind, preference is afforded to MINTANA. The daughter of Havana Grey finished a close second over C&D a fortnight ago and a repeat of that effort ought to be more than good enough. Woodrafff was below-par at Newcastle latest but is entitled to go close in classified company, as is Buttercross Flyer, who won a similar event at Lingfield back in August.

The vote goes to MINTANA whose latest second over 6f here has since been franked by the winner. She does stay this far.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (6/4 +50%) Von Krolock	1.5 6/4(+50%)	(10) Von Krolock 6/4, Ran below form when beaten 4l after dropping in trip in a handicap at Southwell last time. Has won for this yard after move from Ireland. Effective over 6-7f and a drop in grade combined with a step back up in trip should help. Narrowly won a handicap over C&D in November and drops to this level for the first time.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/2 +30%) Homer Stokes	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(3) Homer Stokes 7/2, Stepped up in trip and may not have stayed when beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 7f but arrives out of form. Drops to this level for the first time; has won three times on Tapeta; high on list.
3	1 3rd (1) (80/1 -142%) Galette	80 80/1(-142%)	(1) Galette 80/1, Helped set it up for the closer when beaten 10l in a classified race at Southwell last time. Blinkers are applied for the first time. Effective over 6-8f but is hard to fancy on recent evidence. 0-15 and hard to make a case for on recent efforts, even at this level; blinkers on.
4	7 4th (7) (10/1 +17%) Serengeti Sunrise	10 10/1(+17%)	(7) Serengeti Sunrise 10/1, Never threatened when racing down in trip and finishing down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recently. Off a short break, effective at 7f but was regressive in Ireland last year. Only one piece of worthwhile form for this yard but drops to this level for the first time.
5th	4 5th (4) (20/1 -25%) Mishy's Star	20 20/1(-25%)	(4) Mishy's Star 20/1, Never threatened and was well beaten in a handicap at Lingfield on her latest run. Effective over 6-7f but has yet to show anything of note. Out of the frame in seven starts; drops in grade but still hard to enthuse over.
6th	9 6th (9) (28/1 +0%) Twilight Poppy	28 28/1(+0%)	(9) Twilight Poppy 28/1, Continued in poor form when beaten 4 1/4l in a classified race here last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time, but she remains below a winning level. Out of the frame in all 12 starts and her stamina remains questionable; cheekpieces on.
7th	2 7th (2) (7/2 0%) Hannah's Return	3.5 7/2(0%)	(2) Hannah's Return 7/2, Never threatened after missing the break when finishing down the field in a handicap at Lingfield on her latest start. Effective over 5-7f but needs to prove her ability remains after an absence. Has been successful on the last two occasions she has raced over C&D; a player.
8th	6 8th (6) (5/1 +58%) Rock Master	5 5/1(+58%)	(6) Rock Master 5/1, Had every chance but ran below form when beaten 4l in a classified race at Newcastle last time. Effective at 6-7f but remains a maiden and looks up against it once more. Has regressed since joining this yard and now 0-17; look elsewhere.
9th	8 9th (8) (13/2 -117%) Star Of Atlantis	6.5 13/2(-117%)	(8) Star Of Atlantis 13/2, Had too much to do after missing the break when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time. Returning from a break, suited by 1m, and a drop in class may help. Has won around here (8.6f); market should indicate what is expected after four months off.
10th	5 10th (5) (50/1 -317%) Mrs Potts	50 50/1(-317%)	(5) Mrs Potts 50/1, Outpaced and continued in poor form when beaten 14l into third in a novice at Newcastle most recently. Off a long absence, usually held up, and has yet to show much. Beaten upwards of 10l in three starts at the end of 2024; only of interest if backed.

Although he has been unable to land a blow in handicap company of late, these calmer waters could prove a suitable opportunity for VON KROLOCK to get back on the scoresheet. The seven-year-old scored over C&D in November and he would take all the beating if running to a similar level. Homer Stokes and Star Of Atlantis are others dropping into classified company, with the latter feared most.

The selection is HANNAH'S RETURN who has been successful on the last two occasions she has raced over this C&D.

15:17 Wolverhampton (Class 6) 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (3/1 +10%) Royal Jet	3 3/1(+10%)	(3) Royal Jet 3/1, Landed a handicap by 1/2l off an 11lb lower mark at Lingfield in December, doing it readily and improving a little on recent form. Followed up by winning a classified race there last time and looks capable back in a handicap. In good form lately; this will demand more back in a handicap, but he is still 2lb well in.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/1 +64%) Bad Habits	5 5/1(+64%)	(6) Bad Habits 5/1, Scored by a length off a 2lb lower mark here in December. Ran to form when just flattening out late after refusing to settle, finishing third beaten 3 1/4l off 53 last time, and runs from the same mark here. Has continued to run with credit since winning over C&D in December; should go well.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 -11%) Court Of Session	5 5/1(-11%)	(2) Court Of Session 5/1, Scored by 3l off a 4lb lower mark here on his penultimate start. Had too much to do when missing the break and meeting trouble, finishing sixth beaten 3l off 58 last time, and remains on the same mark here. Won easily over C&D ten days ago but held at Kempton on Wednesday; needs to bounce back.
4	11 4th (11) (50/1 -52%) Shoptilyoudrop	50 50/1(-52%)	(11) Shoptilyoudrop 50/1, Made too much use of when beaten 7l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Effective at 7f, with her best efforts coming on the all-weather in France, but she still has plenty to prove for her new stable. Little to shout about for some time and now 0-20; best to look elsewhere.
5th	9 5th (9) (10/3 +26%) Fistral Beach	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(9) Fistral Beach 10/3, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off this mark here last time. Suited by 7f and, on her latest couple of runs, she has a chance. Has become well handicapped and was only beaten by an in-form rival last time.
6th	5 6th (5) (20/1 -67%) No Nay Nevermind	20 20/1(-67%)	(5) No Nay Nevermind 20/1, Ran to form back down in trip when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time. Effective at 6–7f but remains a maiden and looks exposed. 0-16 but off same mark as when placed twice at Newcastle late last year; each-way claims.
7th	1 7th (1) (11/2 -57%) Poke The Bear	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(1) Poke The Bear 11/2, Improved on recent form when benefitting from leaders getting racing early, landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Lingfield last time. Effective at 7–8f and in fine form, he could follow up but will need a decent test. Won three of his last five starts, but has a question mark over the return to Tapeta.
8th	4 8th (4) (33/1 -136%) Whiteley Way	33 33/1(-136%)	(4) Whiteley Way 33/1, Was a bit too keen when beaten 7l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Had been in good form prior and is effective over 7–10f, but needs a stiff test at the trip. 0-17 under rules with little to suggest dropping back in trip is going to prove the answer.
9th	10 9th (10) (22/1 +56%) Just King High	22 22/1(+56%)	(10) Just King High 22/1, Was never in the race when down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recently. Tries cheekpieces for the first time and returns off a short break, but he has shown no sign of cashing in on his falling mark. Out of the frame in all 11 starts in handicaps; cheekpieces on.
10th	7 10th (7) (10/1 +70%) Diligent Henry	10 10/1(+70%)	(7) Diligent Henry 10/1, Was far too free when down the field in a handicap at Chelmsford on his most recent start. The trainer is in form and he is best at 7f, having also run okay at 6f, though his form has been in and out of late. Both wins have come over C&D, the latest in October; a player if producing his best.
11th	8 11th (8) (28/1 -229%) Rain Cap	28 28/1(-229%)	(8) Rain Cap 28/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off this mark here last time. Returns off a short break, is effective at 6–7f, and arrives in form, so he is respected again from the same mark. Eight wins on turf but 0-15 on AW; others hold more compelling claims.

The hat-trick seeking Royal Jet warrants respect given his current heart, although reverting to handicap company demands more of him. Poke The Bear recorded a double at Lingfield last month, but the four-year-old has yet to reach the same heights on Tapeta. With all that in mind, this could prove a suitable opportunity for recent C&D second FISTRAL BEACH, who is 2lb well-in, to gain some compensation.

The vote goes to FISTRAL BEACH (nap) who is on a good mark and only found an in-form rival too good here ten days ago.

1	9 1st (9) (13/2 -18%) Lion Of Mali	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(9) Lion Of Mali 13/2, Improved on handicap debut when just caught late by a strong stayer, beaten a nose off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Returns from a short break, is sprint-bred but has lacked pace, and further improvement is needed. Beaten just a nose on nursery debut in November, but not seen since and drawn widest.
2	11 2nd (11) (9/1 +36%) Tafah	9 9/1(+36%)	(11) Tafah 9/1, Ran to form when beaten a length off this mark here last time. Trained by a top course handler, is effective at 6f but probably wants 7f ideally, and a step up in trip looks called for. Fourth in both handicaps last month and the form has worked out well, but 7f is a doubt.
3	6 3rd (6) (1/1 +9%) Marra Donna	1 1/1(+9%)	(6) Marra Donna 1/1, Wore a hood again and ran poorly up in trip when down the field in a novice at Lingfield on his return from a break. Usually held up, likely to want 7f or further, and looks a type to do better in handicaps. Hinted at ability in the second of his three novices last year; worth a market check.
4	7 4th (7) (50/1 -52%) Sup Of Red	50 50/1(-52%)	(7) Sup Of Red 50/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Dundalk last time after stepping up in trip. Returns from a short break, has been effective at 5f, but it is not certain the step up in distance will suit. Showed ability in Ireland last year and worth a second look on stable debut.
5th	10 5th (10) (6/1 -20%) Madman	6 6/1(-20%)	(10) Madman 6/1, Has been steadily progressive and improved again when landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Kempton last time. Suited by 6f and has been effective on the all-weather. Made it 11th-time lucky at Kempton last month; up 5lb but still makes the shortlist.
6th	12 6th (12) (9/2 +0%) Luna Beaux	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(12) Luna Beaux 9/2, Had a good trip and improved on her GB debut when winning going away, pushed out, landing a handicap by 5 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 5f–7f, is better than the bare form of her latest start, and could follow up. Has a 6lb penalty for bolting up here ten days ago, but still 6lb well in; hard to beat.
7th	5 7th (5) (20/1 +9%) Alfa Duplicate	20 20/1(+9%)	(5) Alfa Duplicate 20/1, Had plenty to do from a poor draw but finished well when beaten 3 1/4l off this mark here last time on her first run after a wind operation. This is her second run after the procedure, is effective at 6f, and 7f may suit. Should be better for her return here 11 days ago, but not bred to improve for 7f.
8th	4 8th (4) (18/1 +36%) Pivotal Terms	18 18/1(+36%)	(4) Pivotal Terms 18/1, Was beaten when hampered and would probably have been around a length closer when beaten 5l in a nursery at Dundalk last time. Returns from a short break, is effective at 7f but not proven at 6f, and her mark may be a bit stiff on claiming form. Some ability on Polytrack in Ireland; worth monitoring in the market on stable debut.
9th	3 9th (3) (25/1 -14%) Smartanck	25 25/1(-14%)	(3) Smartanck 25/1, Found little when tried in a tongue-tie, finishing fourth beaten 8l in a nursery at Newcastle latest. Returns from a short break, is effective over 7f–8f, and there is a suspicion a breathing issue may be undermining ability. Won a nursery over C&D in September but failed to beat a rival on stable debut.
10th	2 10th (2) (40/1 -21%) Denby's Dream	40 40/1(-21%)	(2) Denby's Dream 40/1, Was far too free when beaten 9 1/4l in a maiden at Goodwood last time. Should improve with a smoother passage and looks the type who could find a maiden or novice in time. Half-sister to an AW winner; worth a market check upped in trip on stable/handicap debut.
11th	8 11th (8) (80/1 -60%) Neat And Tidy	80 80/1(-60%)	(8) Neat And Tidy 80/1, Had a wide trip but still ran poorly when down the field in a novice at Kempton last time. Tries cheekpieces for the first time after a short break, is effective at 7f, but has shown little so far on the all-weather and has something to prove. Well held in two starts after a fairly promising debut; improvement needed; cheekpieces on.

Having made the most of some respite from the assessor to score at Kempton last month, MADMAN could be worth following. Tom Ward's charge scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 5lb higher mark is surmountable and he get the vote at the expense of Lion of Mali. He showed considerable promise on nursery debut when runner-up at Newcastle and was subsequently gelded, while Luna Beaux has to be considered after her victory here last Tuesday.

This revolves around LUNA BEAUX who has a 6lb penalty for his romp over 6f here ten days ago but is still 6lb well in.

1	7 1st (7) (7/4 +42%) Prairie Girl	1.75 7/4(+42%)	(7) Prairie Girl 7/4, Improved off a new mark when strong at the finish in landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off an 8lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 5/6f, though her new mark asks more. In terrific form over C&D since joining this yard; won going away latest; hard to beat.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/2 -13%) Clonmacash	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(4) Clonmacash 9/2, Overly keen but came clear late when scoring with plenty in hand, winning a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 9lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 5-7f, but now drops 2f in trip. Won easily here over 7f on latest; now 9lb higher; won over this trip at the Curragh.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 +0%) Cuban Grey	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Cuban Grey 14/1, Below form when finishing down the field in a handicap at York most recently. Had been in good form prior, is suited by 5f, but may need this and remains 4lb above his last winning mark. Won over C&D on reappearance last year; loves this trip; could go well after a break.
4	2 4th (2) (5/2 +38%) Inishfallen	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(2) Inishfallen 5/2, Disappointing finishing effort when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Suited by 6/7f and has never run over a trip this short, but his mark remains fair. 6f winner in Britain; three good runs for this yard at 6f-7f; this trip looks too short.
5th	3 5th (3) (25/1 -150%) Venetian	25 25/1(-150%)	(3) Venetian 25/1, Ran to form when fifth, beaten 2l off 81 last time, and is 1lb lower here. Blinkers are applied for the first time; effective over 7-11f but needs more off this mark. Four-time AW winner, including over 7f last month; has never raced over a trip this short.
6th	1 6th (1) (18/1 -50%) Beauty Queen	18 18/1(-50%)	(1) Beauty Queen 18/1, Ran to form when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Returns off a short break, is effective at 5/6f, and her mark has eased, so she can go well dropping in trip. Dual 5f winner in Britain; 6lb lower than when close third here last March; contender.
7th	5 7th (5) (17/2 -89%) Dontspoilasale	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(5) Dontspoilasale 17/2, Travelled well and returned about to best when landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark here last time. Enjoys making it, is effective at 5/6f, but now faces a stiffer mark. Won here over 6f latest; another bold show likely but best form is over a furlong further.
8th	8 8th (8) (8/1 -7%) I'm Spartacus	8 8/1(-7%)	(8) I'm Spartacus 8/1, Ran to form when fifth, beaten 3l off 64 last time, and competes from the same mark here. Suited by 6f and just about gets 7f, but the drop to 5f may not be what is needed. Five-time AW winner, all over 6f; nice weight but might not have the pace for this trip.

PRAIRIE GIRL has progressed since switched to the Polytrack this winter and gets the vote to record her third victory over C&D. The Danny Murphy-trained filly had Dontspoilasale, who has won since, over three lengths back in fourth when showing good pace throughout last time, although a combined rise of 23lb for those wins certainly won't make life easy. Clonmacash won over this trip at the Curragh last summer and gained his fourth victory at this venue when scoring in decisive fashion here last month, while stablemate I'm Spartacus has gained all his career wins over 6f but can't be lightly discounted. Cuban Grey won over C&D on his reappearance early last year and progressed really well on turf.

Several of these will probably struggle over the flying 5f, but there are no such concerns for the hugely progressive PRAIRIE GIRL

Effective up to 16f and remains in form with a bit more to come at this trip. Won well over C&D in December and good second on trials day at Newcastle since; respected.

Trainer is in form and he is effective over 14–16f. A player if fit given good AW record. Useful but needs a career-best to defy current mark; has rejoined Olly Murphy.

Effective up to 16f and remains very well treated on old form. Could follow up. 1m4f success on New Year's Day; has form at 2m but still seeking first win over this trip.
4	4 4th (4) (6/1 -50%) Brasil Power	6 6/1(-50%)	(4) Brasil Power 6/1, Scored by a neck off a 2lb lower mark here on his penultimate start. Effective from 8–16f and well suited by middle distances now. Hugely progressive over a variety of trips, though the handicapper may be catching up. Respectable third, one place behind Ribble Vibe, upped to 2m at Newcastle last time.
5th	5 5th (5) (15/2 -88%) Sax Appeal	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(5) Sax Appeal 15/2, Scored by 3l off a 6lb lower mark at Southwell on his penultimate start, then ran to form when second beaten 1/2l off 91 last time. Best around 16f and comes here just 1lb higher. Seven wins in 2025; commenced his 2026 season with a creditable effort; better than ever.
6th	2 6th (2) (7/1 +56%) Prydwen	7 7/1(+56%)	(2) Prydwen 7/1, Helped set the race up for a closer when finishing down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recently. Off a short break and effective over 14–16f. A former Group winner, but a bounce back is required. Productive in 2024 but looks less solid on 2025 form; others preferred.

The runner-up at Newcastle last time, RIBBLE VIBE can fare better back at this venue. The son of Sea The Stars returned the impressive winner over C&D in December and another bold bid is anticipated with Cieren Fallon taking over the reins. Sax Appeal is another looking to resume winning ways having scored at Southwell on his penultimate start, while top-weight Roaring Legend is worth a second glance.

With further improvement plausible, especially back at the scene of his December success, RIBBLE VIBE is preferred.

A tricky three-year-old handicap for punters to solve and course winner MARIA DA SILVA gets what can only be described as a tentative vote. She represents a top yard and is open to any amount of improvement now going handicapping for the first time on the back of that authoritative success here over 7f. Sailor Batt improved on his comeback run at Wolverhampton to take second and is noted along with Elizabetty and Pints In Peace.

Andrew Balding's progressive MARIA DA SILVA showed a likeable attitude when going in here last time and can follow up.

VALIANT FORCE was a smart juvenile recording a 150/1 shock in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot and also went close at the Breeders' Cup. He's gained all four subsequent wins at this venue, the latest of which came over this trip on his penultimate start. The selection finished a length and a half behind Little Queenie here in November but now enjoys a nice swing at the weights. Little Queenie has proved a real credit to connections winning eight times in sprint handicaps and typically showed great pace throughout when successful over 6f here last time. Kerdos won four times for Clive Cox and, having been highly tried last year, is an interesting addition to the Stephen Thorne yard.

If the top-rated VALIANT FORCE is ready to rock after a short break, he is the one to beat on these terms

RASTNET is steadily improving and opened her account with a determined success in a novices' event here at the end of last year. John Butler's filly gave the distinct impression this extra yardage will suit and she has the scope to rate higher than her current mark now handicapping. Lady Of Arabia steps up in distance with a shout having landed a double in December. She rates a bigger threat than Shrimp Shady.

Handicap debutante RASTNET is taken to show further progress and follow up her course win. Shrimp Shady is second pick.

He could be well treated off 56 in his present mood and gets the nod ahead of Goldmoyne and Bella Bisbee.

With the cheekpieces retained and no Aisling Oscar to worry about, GOLDMOYNE (nap) holds particularly solid claims.

Two fine efforts in top 2m staying handicaps last season, strip fitter for latest, go well.

Off a short break, effective up to 12f and down to his lowest mark yet, but may not stay this far. Late gains over 1m4f here on latest, stamina to prove but not totally discounted.

TRIBAL STAR has gained both wins at this venue including the valuable Red God Handicap over an extended 1m2f last summer. The Ado McGuinness-trained gelding is proven over this stamina test having gone close in another valuable handicap at Chester and should benefit from his reappearance behind the Robson De Aguiar pair Bryant and Dallas Star over C&D last month. De Aguiar is again doubly represented here and What's Your Game is an interesting rival, having won a 1m4f Cork handicap and finished second to Carmers in the Listed Yeats Stakes at Navan. He now reappears after an eight-month absence, while stablemate Crypto Force was far from disgraced over 1m6f at Royal Ascot last year.

There are no stamina queries for TRIBAL STAR. He should strip fitter for his C&D run three weeks ago and he is preferred

Has a top course jockey booked and remains unexposed at 8f, which could allow him to progress at this distance. Had more in hand than the winning margin suggests in 1m apprentice race here on Wednesday.
8	8 (8) (7/2 +36%) Concert Boy	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(8) Concert Boy 7/2, Raced near side away from the main action and ran a bit below form when fourth, beaten 3/2l, off a mark of 62 last time. Runs from the same mark here and likes the track. Course regular; consistent since autumn; 3rd to Sea Legend on Wednesday; rider now claims.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +50%) Golden Strike	5 5/1(+50%)	(5) Golden Strike 5/1, Was a no-show from off the pace when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time. A visor is applied for the first time and his mark is easing, so there is some potential for improvement. AW record unconvincing; chance partly depends on how well he responds to first-time visor.
2	2 (2) (9/1 -100%) Lerwick	9 9/1(-100%)	(2) Lerwick 9/1, Had a wide trip and ran below form when fourth, beaten 4l, in a handicap at Kempton last time. Effective at 6-8f and now down again in the weights, so could go well. 0-12 on AW but has largely consistent form at Kempton since returned to this sphere.
1	1 (1) (10/1 -122%) Anthropologist	10 10/1(-122%)	(1) Anthropologist 10/1, Lacked pace when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time. Suited by 7f and now returns 4lb above his last winning mark, which leaves him with something to prove from this rating. Caught the eye, amid traffic issues, at Wolverhampton on stable/seasonal debut.
4	4 (4) (12/1 +0%) Novak	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Novak 12/1, Ran a bit below form when dropped in trip and beaten 5l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 6/7f and his mark continues to ease, giving him some scope to be competitive. Has a good chance if proving resurgent; 2lb below last winning mark.
3	3 (3) (16/1 -14%) Bobby Joe Leg	16 16/1(-14%)	(3) Bobby Joe Leg 16/1, Below form when tenth, beaten 8l, off a mark of 70 last time and is 1lb lower here. The trainer is in form and he is effective at 7f, but this veteran may prove vulnerable at this stage. Multiple course winner but commenced 2026 campaign with a duck egg.
6	6 (6) (16/1 -129%) Born A Rebel	16 16/1(-129%)	(6) Born A Rebel 16/1, Ran to form despite an awkward start when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Has a wide draw and is off a short break, and might be vulnerable from this mark. 0-7 on AW but posted an encouraging effort over C&D most recently.

Bobby Joe Leg and Novak are past C&D winners to consider in division two of this handicap and, at the forecast prices, they both make some each-way appeal. However, for win purposes LERWICK is put forward as the one to be on. He has been running well without winning at Kempton of late and a repeat of his penultimate effort puts him firmly in the mix.

Having caught the eye on his debut for new connections, ANTHROPOLOGIST may well take a step forward and defy top weight.

Effective over 7f on the all-weather, a big, strong sort who should progress. Runner-up on debut over C&D, pulled well clear of the third, could make bold bid.
1	1 (1) (9/4 +10%) Flanker Jet	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(1) Flanker Jet 9/4, Game and back to form down in trip when winning a maiden here by 1/2l last time. Suited by 7f and acts on the all-weather, a big sort who looks to have more to offer. Won C&D maiden two weeks ago, thereabouts again with a repeat of that in this company.
3	3 (3) (5/1 -11%) Heartbeat Supreme	5 5/1(-11%)	(3) Heartbeat Supreme 5/1, Yard won this race last year and he cost 60,000gns as a breeze-up purchase by Supremacy. A half-brother to Brocklesby, fair at 8f, with a dam who was useful at 6f at 2yo. Supremacy gelding, dam half-sister to 7f Gr 3 winner, market can guide on debut.

Cheekpieces are tried first time, she returns from a break and is effective over 6f on the all-weather. Short of room on h'cap debut over C&D in Oct', not discounted in first-time cheekpieces.

Returns from a short break, is effective over 6f on the all-weather, but must settle better over this trip. Off since 6f handicap win here in Nov', this tougher, not well treated by race conditions.
6	6 (6) (300/1 -275%) Sarfarcat	300 300/1(-275%)	(6) Sarfarcat 300/1, Failed to beat a rival over 8f here last time and is yet to show any real signs of ability. Hard to fancy until handicapping at a lowly level. Long odds and well beaten both starts here at 7f-1m, hard to see her winning this.

Robson De Aguiar saddles two strong contenders and hopefully FATE'S GAMBIT can take a step forward from a promising debut in a maiden over C&D last month. The selection was beaten by a well-fancied newcomer and the pair finished clear of the remainder. Stablemate Flanker Jet has a lot more experience and won the other division of the aforementioned maiden in a slower time. Dancing Saxon kept on well here over 6f before not enjoying the clearest of passages in a handicap over C&D and is certainly a threat with cheekpieces now applied.

Robson De Aguiar holds a strong hand with Flanker Jet and FATE'S GAMBIT and narrow preference is for the latter

Effective over 5–7f, but has been out of form since returning from a layoff. Six-time course scorer but failed to beat a rival on his last two runs; had wind op since.

Pal Joey took advantage of his first appearance over 5f when scoring here on Saturday and it wouldn't be a surprise if the four-year-old had more to offer. That said, he is 3lb wrong under a 5lb penalty and, with that in mind, a chance is taken on HARB. The seven-year-old has been running with credit on his last couple of starts and his recent third off 1lb higher earns him the vote. La Rochette and Farandaway can fight it out for the minor honours.

Michael Herrington's GOOD EARTH is taken to resume winning ways quickly, having not enjoyed the rub of the green last time at Southwell.

Runner-up on his stable debut here earlier this month, GO OUT can step up a place. Having his first run in this country, the Danny Murphy-trained gelding shaped with plenty of promise in taking minor honours. Sure to have benefitted from that first start since April, the four-year-old should strip fitter here. A return to 7f could also bring about further improvement in the lightly-raced son of Hello Youmzain. Mehman, who finished one place behind the selection in that aforementioned contest, ran well when second behind a well-handicapped rival last time. The Denis Hogan-trained gelding should again be a leading contender. Recent course and distance winner Una Matata is an in-form mare that has to be respected.

OICHE RUA is only 2lb higher than when successful over C&D in November and should contest the finish

DIGITAL has bounced back with a pair of C&D victories and a brace of runner-up efforts on his last four outings. A 3lb rise for his latest victory may not be enough to stop him from continuing his fine run of form. Lion's House (third) and Water Of Leith (fourth) were closely matched here on Saturday and the pair are likely to be competitive once again, while others to note are Amerjeet and The Fixer.

Competitive, but Michael Herrington's AMERJEET is taken to gain a first win for the yard after an unlucky-in-running third last time.

11	11 (11) (16/1 +0%) River Derwent	16 16/1(+0%)	(11) River Derwent 16/1, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off this mark here last time. Effective over 7-10f and that was much more like it. Eyecatching fourth behind Kitty Bear, keeping on well in closing stages after poor break.
2	2 (2) (25/1 -56%) Punk Poet	25 25/1(-56%)	(2) Punk Poet 25/1, Again below form when well beaten over a longer trip here most recently. Enjoys making the running, is effective over 7/8f, and the drop back in distance may help after a short break. Six-time C&D winner; below his best on his last two visits but this a more suitable trip.
16	16 (16) (28/1 +30%) Carrickfinn	28 28/1(+30%)	(16) Carrickfinn 28/1, Again below form when beaten 9l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 7/8f on this surface, but remains a frustrating maiden. Maiden; close 4th over C&D last July; well held behind some of these last month; reserve.
8	8 (8) (50/1 -79%) Morning Approach	50 50/1(-79%)	(8) Morning Approach 50/1, Was a no-show from off the pace when finishing down the field in a handicap here most recently. Effective over 7/8f, but her falling mark is not enough to tempt. Three-time course winner went close last summer; well beaten behind Beat The Devil latest.
14	14 (14) (100/1 -100%) Bang Po	100 100/1(-100%)	(14) Bang Po 100/1, Did not get home when upped in trip, finishing down the field in a handicap here most recently. The drop back in distance looks a plus. Heavy-ground winner in September 2023 but no joy since; others have better claims.
15	15 (15) (150/1 -275%) Ledger	150 150/1(-275%)	(15) Ledger 150/1, Had a poor hurdles debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal most recently. Back on the Flat after a short break, but looks up against it. All four Flat wins in Britain came at a low level; regressive for current yard; reserve.

With a strong pace virtually guaranteed, BEAT THE DEVIL can register a second course and distance success. A strong traveller, who needs to be held up and delivered late, the Patrick Magee-trained gelding was an impressive winner here earlier this month. Having had his excuses next time, the four-year-old was back to something like his best when runner-up on his most recent visit here. Desert Of The Sea shaped well enough last time to suggest that he is capable of scoring on this company. He has to be of interest sporting first-time cheekpieces. Georg Zhukov, a winner over C&D on his stable debut, is another with leading claims in a competitive heat.

Many of these are closely matched on C&D form but perhaps it is the turn of PROFIT SURGE (nap) to be rewarded for her consistency

A top course jockey takes over and he can go well again off a revised mark. Powered home to win good 6f handicap here three weeks ago; drop in trip no problem.
10	10 (10) (6/1 +45%) Heavenly Heather	6 6/1(+45%)	(10) Heavenly Heather 6/1, Ran to form despite interrupted run fifth beaten 2 1/4l off 89 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 5-7f, suited by sound surface; could bounce back. Improving mare but she's shooting up the weights and needs another career best.
5	5 (5) (13/2 +59%) Strong Warrior	6.5 13/2(+59%)	(5) Strong Warrior 13/2, Never in it after a slow start when tried in a tongue-tie and beaten 7l in a handicap at Ripon last time. Returns from a break and is on a fair mark if ready to roll. Ended 2025 quietly but gelded during his absence and still has low mileage; AW debut.
6	6 (6) (7/1 +0%) Fahrenheit Seven	7 7/1(+0%)	(6) Fahrenheit Seven 7/1, Below form when finishing down the field in a competitive handicap at Ayr last time. Had been in good form prior and returns from a break with a significant jockey booking, though there is a bit to prove off his current mark. Progressive for M Usher (inc AW); low-key stable debut but still a sprinter of interest.
14	14 (14) (15/2 +17%) Venture Capital	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(14) Venture Capital 15/2, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Catterick last time. Trainer is in form and he returns from a break in decent shape. Useful 5f form on his day; returns on a fair mark but no great record fresh.
11	11 (11) (8/1 +11%) Paddy's Day	8 8/1(+11%)	(11) Paddy's Day 8/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 2 1/4l off 90 last time, and competes from the same mark here. Suited by the trip and in form, so can go well again. Fine record over C&D but he has little room for error off his current mark.
7	7 (7) (9/1 +0%) Badri	9 9/1(+0%)	(7) Badri 9/1, Ran to form beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark here last time; suited by 5/6f, acts on any; competitive mark still. Solid in-frame efforts here (5f/6f) on last two starts; each-way claims once again.
12	12 (12) (11/1 -22%) Air Force One	11 11/1(-22%)	(12) Air Force One 11/1, A bit below his best on all-weather debut when beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Southwell last time. Comes here after a short break and needs to show more on this surface. Good form in York sprints last summer; modest show on AW debut but still feasibly treated.
3	3 (3) (12/1 -9%) Apache Outlaw	12 12/1(-9%)	(3) Apache Outlaw 12/1, Ran to form when 2l third in a Rated Race at Dundalk on his most recent run. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time, but he drops 2f in trip, which may not suit. Goes well at Dundalk; down in trip with cheekpieces fitted this time; others look stronger.
2	2 (2) (12/1 -33%) Pilgrim	12 12/1(-33%)	(2) Pilgrim 12/1, Below form when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at York last time. Returning from a long layoff and capable off this mark, but a lengthy absence needs to be overcome. Smart handicap form in 2024; absent since May and makes AW debut; not ruled out.
8	8 (8) (14/1 -75%) Rhythm N Hooves	14 14/1(-75%)	(8) Rhythm N Hooves 14/1, Too keen and a bit below form when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Had been in good form prior, but a bounce back is required. Conditions no problem but he disappointed last time and this may prove too competitive.
13	13 (13) (22/1 -38%) Mr Lightside	22 22/1(-38%)	(13) Mr Lightside 22/1, Too keen and below form when tried in a tongue-tie and beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Pontefract last time. Now on a reduced mark and can go well if fit after six months off. Useful 2yo; promising start to 2025 but form dipped in the summer; returns on lowly mark.
1	1 (1) (33/1 -106%) Elegant Erin	33 33/1(-106%)	(1) Elegant Erin 33/1, Landed a handicap by a length off a 13lb lower mark at Beverley three starts back. Best work came late and she improved again when upped in grade, finishing fourth in the Rous Stakes at Ascot. New mark asks more back in handicap company. Conditions fine and she ended 2025 in fine form; returns off a tough mark though.
9	9 (9) (40/1 -82%) Vingegaard	40 40/1(-82%)	(9) Vingegaard 40/1, Made too much use of when beaten 6l on his first run over 6f in the Blenheim Stakes at Fairyhouse last time. Effective at sprint trips but has been absent for a very lengthy period. Sharp as 2yo for Archie Watson; makes stable debut after 501-day absence; has been gelded.

Elegant Erin ended 2025 in fine fettle with a pair of victories at Beverley in September followed by a fourth in Listed company at Ascot. That said, the lack of a recent run may count against her, so the vote goes to BADRI. He went close here over 6f last month and a repeat of that effort can see him go one better. Others to consider include Fahrenheit Seven, Rhythm N Hooves and The Caltonian.

Pilgrim is a big player down in class on his return but THE CALTONIAN showed his true colours here last month and can follow up.

Effective over 8–11f on this surface, with his chance depending on the blinkers working again. Shed the maiden tag here over 10.5f latest; tougher race up in trip but respected.
12	12 (12) (3/1 +63%) Captain Hanley	3 3/1(+63%)	(12) Captain Hanley 3/1, Ran to form when dropped in grade, beaten 5l in a handicap here last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time; effective over 10–12f on this surface and in decent form, but he remains a maiden. Penultimate C&D runs brings him into the equation; bit to find with Thompson Gunner.
4	4 (4) (10/3 +17%) Satono Chevalier	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(4) Satono Chevalier 10/3, Ran to form when beaten 3l after stepping up in trip off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 10–12f on this surface and, although out of form in 2025, has been better of late and can go well. Won this race in 2023; good second over C&D on stable debut; 15lb below last winning mark.
5	5 (5) (4/1 +33%) Drucker	4 4/1(+33%)	(5) Drucker 4/1, Too keen when back up in trip and tried in a visor, finishing comfortably held in a handicap here last time. Off a short break, he is effective at 10–11f on this surface and the removal of headgear looks a plus. Raced too keenly when below best over C&D when last seen; chance if he settles better.
6	6 (6) (6/1 +0%) Church Mountain	6 6/1(+0%)	(6) Church Mountain 6/1, One-paced when dropped in trip, finishing seventh beaten 9l off 65 last time, and runs from the same mark here. Usually held up, effective over 8–12f on this surface, but needs more off this mark. Commanding C&D win last month; missed the break a week later; should go well.
1	1 (1) (12/1 -100%) Pepper Noir	12 12/1(-100%)	(1) Pepper Noir 12/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 5l, in a handicap here last time. Effective over 10–12f and suited by this surface, she appears to be heading in the right direction on recent evidence. Dual C&D handicap winner; beaten 5l into fourth behind Church Mountain over C&D on latest.
7	7 (7) (50/1 -213%) Glamorous Marlene	50 50/1(-213%)	(7) Glamorous Marlene 50/1, Below form when tried in cheekpieces, finishing down the field in a maiden here most recently. Effective over 7/8f on this surface, she is an ex-Roger Varian runner with stamina still to prove. Showed some ability in Britain; well beaten on Irish debut; needs to find plenty more.
11	11 (11) (66/1 -371%) Ethelwulf	66 66/1(-371%)	(11) Ethelwulf 66/1, Below form when dropped markedly in trip, beaten 8l in a claimer here last time. Effective at 12f on this surface, the former Gosdens runner is surely capable of better back up in trip. Went close once in Britain; big price when never a factor on stable debut last week.
8	8 (8) (66/1 -164%) Urban War	66 66/1(-164%)	(8) Urban War 66/1, Below form back on the Flat when beaten 10l in a handicap here last time. Effective around 10f, but has plenty to prove on recent evidence. Won twice in Britain in 2020; made no impact here (1m) last month; safe to rule out.
3	3 (3) (125/1 -400%) Stonking	125 125/1(-400%)	(3) Stonking 125/1, No-show from off the pace back on the Flat, finishing down the field in a handicap here last time. Effective around 12f on this surface, but hard to fancy and remains to be seen what ability remains. Pulled up on both runs over hurdles for this yard; last of 14 over 1m here last month.

A promising second on his recent stable debut, SATONO CHEVALIER can go one better. A three-time course and distance winner in the past, the eight-year-old had rather lost his way before shaping much better on his first start for Aidan Melia earlier this month. Provided that he can reproduce that effort, the son of Invincible Spirit looks the one to beat in this finale. Recent course winner Thompson Gunner has every chance if staying this trip and may prove to be the main threat if doing so. Church Mountain blotted his copybook here last week but would be a serious threat if on a going day.

A chance is taken on likely outsider RIYAMI, who needs to improve plenty but his current mark and jockey booking make him of interest

Wide draw and off a short break; suited by 8f and has a good chance of a hat-trick. Successful at Kempton in last three AW attempts; return to elsewhere is the question mark.

8	8 (8) (16/1 -33%) Bowood	16 16/1(-33%)	(8) Bowood 16/1, Was a bit keen and met trouble, and should have finished closer when fifth here latest.

9	9 (9) (16/1 -14%) Longhaired General	16 16/1(-14%)	(9) Longhaired General 16/1, Won this race last year but was again below form when down the field on his most recent run.

Dosman can feature again with a repeat of last month's third in better company here, but it could pay to stick with MOSTAR DREAMS. The resolute winner over C&D on her first start over a mile, there looks more to come from the daughter of Saxon Warrior. A winner at Chelmsford in December, Champagne Powder arrives in fine form and cannot be ruled out with any confidence off his current mark.

Having shaped nicely on trials day, DOSMAN is back down in class and could well defy top weight. Mostar Dreams is second pick.

NORTH VIEW needed only to be pushed out in the closing stages at Chelmsford to make a winning debut for Stuart Williams' yard. A 4lb rise is negated by Jack Dace's allowance and he looks one to keep on the right side of. Maximising remains unexposed on the back of a convincing success at Lingfield and could prove competitive in this higher grade, while Benacre and The Dragon King are not easily ruled out either.

With further improvement on the cards, MAXIMISING is taken to follow up his Lingfield success. North View is second pick.

6	6 (6) (14/1 -100%) Shallow	14 14/1(-100%)	(6) Shallow 14/1, Had the run of the race when beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Kempton last time. Enjoys making it, effective at 7f and probably best at 6f, and remains capable off this mark. Readily swept aside by her stablemate last time; more needed back against male opposition.
9	9 (9) (14/1 -75%) Fortamour	14 14/1(-75%)	(9) Fortamour 14/1, Ran to form, good attitude landing a handicap by a short-head off a 3lb lower mark here last time; off a short-break; suited by 6f, acts on any; considered strongly in hat-trick bid. Ended 2025 with a pair of C&D wins at Class 5 level; vulnerable up 3lb in a better race.
10	10 (10) (22/1 +21%) Dorney Lake	22 22/1(+21%)	(10) Dorney Lake 22/1, Was overly keen and did not get home when beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark here last time. Effective over 6f and 7f, with his mark continuing to ease. Latest run was a step in the right direction but needs much more to take this.

The veteran Fortamour remains of interest bidding for a hat-trick of C&D wins, while Bright won nicely here in December and also merits respect. However, the four-year-old HUNDRED CAPS has more scope for improvement after scoring at Southwell on his first start since October. Julie Camacho's charge found plenty for pressure in the closing stages to win a shade cosily in the end and is taken to confirm superiority over Sergeant Pep.

A competitive race in which recent Southwell winner HUNDRED CAPS is taken to follow up. Trouble Man heads the list of dangers.
