|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10th | 1 | 5 |
Havana Blast (G)
[T]
Got off the mark at Chelmsford City (5f) in August and followed it with an excellent sixth of 10 in Sirenia Stakes at Kempton (6f). Off 18 months ahead of his tapeta debut here though.
|
Daniel Muscutt | J R Fanshawe | 4 | 61.2 kg |
11
10/1
|
| 12th | 2 | 10 |
Vingegaard (G)
A useful juvenile for Archie Watson but has shown little for his new yard over C&D and in 6f Wolverhampton handicap this year after 17 months.
|
Ryan Sexton | Miss J A Camacho | 4 | 60.8 kg |

40/1

| 8th | 3 | 4 |
Master Of My Fate (G)
Back to winning ways at Southwell (5f) in February and backed it up with a solid fourth of 6 to Sports Coach there 13 days ago.
|
Jason Hart | J & S Quinn | 5 | 60.8 kg |

11/1
|
| 11th | 4 | 3 |
Blinky (G)
[P]
Ended 2025 in good form but he came in only eighth of 9 in 5f handicap at Southwell 82 days ago. Needs to bounce back after a break.
|
Alex Jary | A Brittain | 4 | 60.3 kg |
19
18/1
|
| 5th | 5 | 6 |
Sports Coach (G)
On the up in 2026, readily landing 6-runner handicap at Southwell (5f) 13 days ago. This C&D winner can go well again despite 4 lb weights rise.
|
Cam Hardie | A Brittain | 5 | 60.3 kg |

| 3rd | 6 | 11 |
Station X (G)
FAV
Winless since 2024 but he resumed from 4 months off with a very good second in 12-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 35 days ago. Not taken lightly nudged up 1 lb.
|
P Mulrennan | B Smart | 4 | 59.9 kg |
4
3/1
|
| 6th | 7 | 8 |
Almarada Prince (G)
Signed off for Ivan Furtado with a good second at Kempton (6f) in October. Not knocked about when eighth of 11 in 6f handicap here for his new yard 15 days ago and can take a step forward now.
|
D Nolan | P T Midgley | 5 | 59.4 kg |

7/1
|
| 2nd | 8 | 9 |
Mon Na Slieve (G)
A dual 5f winner in 2025 who has shaped as if in need of both his runs this year, fading over 1f out when ninth in 5f Southwell handicap 23 days ago. Not out of things off a 2 lb lower mark.
|
K Stott | K A Ryan | 5 | 59 kg |
8.50
15/2

| 9th | 9 | 1 |
Tiriac (G)
[P]
Made it 2 C&D successes in his last 3 starts since the cheekpieces went on in 10-runner handicap in December. Headgear is retained but up 6 lb now.
|
Barry McHugh | P T Midgley | 6 | 58.1 kg |

14/1

| 7th | 10 | 2 |
Reigning Profit (G)
[V]
Went without his usual visor after 5 months off when an unlucky-in-running fifth of 6 to Sports Coach in 5f Southwell handicap 13 days ago, no room last 1f. This 3-time winner in 2025 rates a big player with the headgear now refitted.
|
J P Sullivan | Mrs R Carr | 7 | 58.1 kg |
10
9/1
|
| 4th | 11 | 7 |
Kinetic Force (G)
On a losing run but he dived badly right start (blindfold removed late) when eighth of 11 in 5f handicap at Bath in September on his final run for Des Donovan. Starts out for a new yard here after 178 days off.
|
Joanna Mason | Mrs R Carr | 4 | 57.6 kg |

| 1st | 12 | 12 |
Pixie Diva (F)
Fair 6f winner on her debut and runner-up twice in handicaps last summer. Off 6 months and failed to settle when sixth of 7 in 6f Southwell handicap two weeks ago. Reverts to the minimum trip now.
|
P J McDonald | George Scott | 4 | 57.2 kg |
