Francesi (G)
FAV
Ended last year in good form and made it 2 wins from his last 4 starts with a narrow success in 9-runner handicap (9/4) at Newcastle (8f) 9 days ago. Respected back down at this level.

Reddeef (G)
[T]
Remains a maiden and, without any headgear after 6 weeks off, looked a hard ride when seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 4/1) 47 days ago. However, he now drops in grade with tongue strap back on.

Darragh Keenan | Michael Keady | 4 | 61.2 kg |

Poetic Force (G)
Won twice at Brighton last summer and held his form well for the remainder of the year, fifth of 14 in handicap at the same course (7f, good to firm, 5/1) when last seen in October. Still capable if ready to go after a break.

Matthew Slater | A W Carroll | 12 | 60.8 kg |

Super Hit (G)
[PT]
Fourteen runs since last win in 2025 but arrives in decent heart, third of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on his latest outing 4 days ago. Could be in the mix from 3 lb below last winning mark.

Dandy Khan (F)
FAV
Recorded hat-trick here in November/December, including over this distance, and quickly resumed winning ways back at this venue when landing 9-runner handicap (7f, 13/8) a week ago. Major player in her current form.

H Crouch | J R Boyle | 4 | 60.3 kg |

Amber Honey (F)
[B]
Doubled her tally at Southwell in November and shaped as if back in form when fourth of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 11 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Not ruled out back down in grade.

Harry Davies | E A L Dunlop | 4 | 59.4 kg |

Three On Thursday (F)
Off the mark at this course (10f) on penultimate start and again ran well when second of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 2 weeks ago. Must now carry on her recent form back over this shorter trip.

N Callan | A W Carroll | 4 | 59.4 kg |

City Of York (G)
Twenty-two runs since last win in 2023 and has been struggling for form of late, never dangerous when sixth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 28 days ago. Others preferred.
|
L Morris | D M Simcock | 6 | 58.5 kg |

Stacey Racey (M)
Didn't manage to win last year but ended the campaign with some creditable efforts, 2 lengths fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (7f, 11/2) on final outing in September. Has eased further in the weights if returning in the same form.
