Runners
| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8th | 1 | 2 |
Maxi Boy (G)
Course winner. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (17/2) 18 days ago. Though his strike rate isn't great and he isn't getting any younger, he needs considering off a workable mark.
|
O McSweeney | Fionn McSharry | 9 | 63.5 kg |
5
4/1
|
| 2nd | 2 | 7 |
Dandy Magic (F)
C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 15/2, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (5f) 15 days ago, nearest finish. Now 1 lb lower and she's a player back at 6f.
|
Rhys Elliott | J S Goldie | 4 | 63 kg |

7/1
|
| 6th | 3 | 5 |
Fiscal Policy (G)
C&D winner. Fifth of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 19 days ago, never nearer. Given a chance by the handicapper and he won't be far away if on a going day.

Warren Fentiman | Mrs R Carr | 7 | 63 kg |

| 1st | 4 | 6 |
Supreme King (G)
FAV
13/2, didn't need to improve to win 8-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 28 days ago. 3 lb rise fair but this is a tougher assignment.
|
Ryan Kavanagh | P D Evans | 6 | 62.1 kg |
4.50
7/2

| 5th | 5 | 3 |
Judgment Call (G)
FAV
Unreliable individual. C&D winner in December. Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 12/1) 12 days ago and likely to be on the premises once more.
|
Alex Jary | Miss L A Perratt | 8 | 62.1 kg |
4.50
7/2

| 9th | 6 | 1 |
Yaaser (G)
Course winner. Three wins from 23 runs last year. Latest win here in December. 9/4, last of 6 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 18 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good.
|
Amie Waugh | J S Goldie | 8 | 61.7 kg |

14/1
|
| 3rd | 7 | 4 |
Express Train (G)
Winner at Leicester in July. 25/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 14 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and the percentage call is to look elsewhere.
|
Alfie Redman | A M Balding | 4 | 60.8 kg |

14/1
|
| 7th | 8 | 8 |
Ishe Worth Agamble (G)
[PT]
Three wins from 14 runs last year. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 10/1) 29 days ago, met some trouble. Couldn't rule out.
|
Jake Dickson | T D Easterby | 5 | 59 kg |
17
16/1
|
| 4th | 9 | 9 |
Captain Vallo (G)
[P]
Three-time C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2025. 5¼ lengths ninth of 12 to Judgment Call in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 28 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Definite chance if he puts his best foot forward.
|
Jack Nicholls | Phillip Makin | 8 | 57.6 kg |

16/1

Betting forecast: Supreme King (7/2), Judgment Call (7/2), Maxi Boy (4/1), Fiscal Policy (9/2), Dandy Magic (7/1), Express Train (14/1), Yaaser (14/1), Captain Vallo (16/1), Ishe Worth Agamble (16/1)
