Wise Eagle (G)
[T]
C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, only sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle (5/2) at Musselburgh (19.8f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Tongue strap back on with more needed.

Duke Of Oxford (G)
[T]
Seven wins from 23 Flat runs. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Kempton (16f, 11/4) 44 days ago. Can give another good account despite 3 lb weights rise.

Brasil Power (G)
[T]
Four wins from 19 runs last year, bagging 6-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid.

Sheradann (G)
[T]
Latest win at Kempton in October. 13/2, 6¼ lengths tenth of 12 to Duke of Oxford in handicap at Kempton (16f) 44 days ago so needs to bounce back.

Blazeon Five (M)
Ended 2025 in fine form, completing his hat-trick in 9-runner handicap (7/2) at Southwell (16.5f) 35 days ago. Up another 3 lb but he must enter calculations.

Berkshire Sundance (G)
FAV
Resumed winning ways in 8-runner handicap at Kempton (16f) 37 days ago by ½ length from New York Minute, driven out. Very much one to consider despite being hit with a 4 lb rise.

Ribble Vibe (G)
Gained a deserved first success for this yard in 6-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f, 6/4) 46 days ago, forging clear last 1f. Up 5 lb but he's a likely player.

Tryfan (G)
Course winner. Creditable third of 7 in handicap (3/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 49 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Can make his presence felt.

New York Minute (G)
[V]
Visored for new yard (formerly with Ralph Beckett) and arrives on the up, bagging 2m handicap at Southwell in November before an excellent ½-length second of 8 to Berkshire Sundance at Kempton (2m) 37 days ago. Enjoys a 2 lb weights pull s…

Humble Spark (G)
4-time course winner. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 15 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Significantly back up in trip and in the mix.

Weddell Sea (G)
[TP]
A 3-time C&D winner, latest in 10-runner handicap 31 days ago when just holding on. Not discounted off a 4 lb higher mark here (including being 1 lb "wrong" in the weights).
