Power Fizz (G)
FAV
Landed the odds in a C&D maiden following a breathing operation in January 2025 and progressed thereafter, scoring at Newmarket and Ascot either side of a near-miss at Goodwood. Not quite in same form at Goodwood on final outing but furthe…

Wicket Keeper (G)
On the up when landing 6f maiden/novice contests at the start of last summer. Disappointing next 2 outings but back on track when second in 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton on all-weather debut in October. Subsequently sold out of Edwar…

Paddy's Day (G)
7-time course winner who turned in another good effort when third of 14 in handicap at this course (5f, 9/1) on latest start. Likely to give his running once again.

Alex Jary | N Tinkler | 6 | 61.2 kg |

Badri (G)
Generally consistent sort who got going too late in a race that proved difficult to get into from behind at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on most recent outing. Should remain competitive.

Jason Hart | M Herrington | 9 | 60.8 kg |

10/1

| 7th | 5 | 1 |
Andesite (G)
Has yet to add to his debut win in May 2024 and didn't impress with his head carriage when running badly at Doncaster on final outing in September. Since sold out of K. R. Burke's stable for 27,000 gns.

Mark Winn | Roger Fell | 4 | 60.3 kg |

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 C&D handicap in January. Somewhat disappointing at Lingfield since, however,

K Stott | K A Ryan | 5 | 59.9 kg |

| 2nd | 7 | 9 |
Rousing Encore (G)
Likeable type who resumed winning ways at Ayr in September. Excuses at York next time and ran well at Doncaster on final 2 outings. Ran well on last visot here but he does lack a recent run.

J P Sullivan | Mrs R Carr | 6 | 59.9 kg |

18/1

| 11th | 8 | 11 |
Venture Capital (G)
Course winner who failed to come on for a recent run when only seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (5f) on latest start. Steps back up in trip with something to prove.

Shane Gray | K A Ryan | 5 | 59.4 kg |

| 12th | 9 | 13 |
Mister Bluebird (G)
Enjoyed a good 2025, notching a second win of the year in a Racing League handicap at Yarmouth in July. Placed in similar company on his next 2 outings prior to finishing first among the unfavoured high stalls in a hotly-contested handicap…

Twilight Fun (G)
[B]
Dominated against stand rail when landing 12-runner C&D handicap in February and wasn't disgraced attempting to follow up from a 6 lb higher mark at Chelmsford since. Should remain competitive.

Joey Haynes | C Banham | 6 | 58.1 kg |

Twilight Calls (G)
Standout effort in 2025 when fifth in Stewards' Cup (Handicap) at Goodwood but generally well below form since, including at Meydan recently.

Roberto Caro (G)
[T]
Put it all together when landing 14-runner handicap in Racing League series at Chepstow (6f) in August. Found his form tailing off later in the year but ran respectably back from a break when fifth in 12-runner handicap (6.1f) at Southwell…

Wheels Of Fire (G)
Resumed winning ways in a 6f Windsor handicap in September. Not seen to best effect on all 3 outings subsequently, including when caught wide at Goodwood on final outing in October, and there are certainly races to be won with him from thi…

Hockney (G)
Much improved switched to handicap company (following a breathing operation) last autumn, making it 2 wins from as many starts in such company at Thirsk (6f) in September. Reappears from a 9 lb higher mark in a stronger race but remains op…
