Ferrous (G)
FAV
Better on all-weather than turf, landing this race last year before also winning next 2 starts. After 4 months off, creditable fourth of 8 in listed race over C&D (5/1) 27 days ago but looks somewhat up against it off top weight here.

El Bodon (G)
Made it back-to-back 6f handicap wins at Kempton 16 days ago, taking his record on all-weather to 3 from 3. Could have yet more improvement in him.

Lakers (G)
FAV
Making just third start for current yard when scoring readily at Southwell (6.1f) in October. Caught wide from outside draw when third of 13 over same C&D (5/1) on New Year's Day, and has plenty going for him.

Fast Track Harry (G)
[T]
Won Doncaster novice on last year's return and improved further when second in handicap at York next time. Disappointed at Ascot both subsequent outings, but gelded since and had a good break ahead of this all-weather/seasonal debut.

Sergeant Wilko (G)
[P]
Ended 2025 on a low-key note but made a sound return from 4 months off (had breathing operation) when fourth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (16/1) 6 weeks ago. On a handy mark if able to build on that.

Jason Hart | K A Ryan | 5 | 55.3 kg |

An Outlaw's Grace (G)
[P]
Without a win since debut but returned to form on second handicap start when third of 7 at Newmarket (11/2) last June. However, has been absent again since ahead of this all-weather debut.

Joe Leavy | R Hannon | 4 | 54 kg |

Little Empire (G)
[P]
Successful twice over 7f last year and has been proving most consistent, in first-time cheekpieces when close third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (13/2) 3 weeks ago. In a higher grade now, however.
