Song N Dance (F)
Ended 2025 in fine fettle by winning her final 2 starts, including on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m) when last seen in November, scoring with more in hand than the margins imply. Up 7 Ib and is the only runner in this field without a run…

Selection (F)
[P]
Beaten less than a length when runner-up on her last 2 outings, latest in handicap at Newcastle 15 days ago when well positioned. Retains the cheekpieces and may have to settle for a minor role again.

Pendella (F)
FAV
Promising filly who made all in 9-runner maiden at Wolverhampton in February by 1¾ lengths from City Queen. Makes handicap debut with more to come and a bold bid is expected.

City Queen (F)
Runner-up both starts this year on the all-weather, behind Pendella at Wolverhampton then bumping into an above-average prospect in a 7-runner novice over C&D last month, finishing well clear of the third. Is bred to be smart and looks cap…

Kiss Me My Love (F)
Won handicap at Beverley in September. Last of 11 in similar event at Wolverhampton on return last month. Is back in a higher grade and others are preferred.

Likeness (F)
A fair maiden who was placed 4 times in 2025. Found excuses thin on the ground when a below form fourth of 10 in novice (5/2) at Chelmsford (7f) on return last month. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.
