|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5th | 1 | 5 |
Kylian (G)
[P]
Fairly useful 5f/6f scorer in 2025 for Archie Watson and ran respectably, back from 6 months off, when fifth of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Southwell (5f) on debut for new yard 17 days ago. Entitled to build on that.

Jason Hart | R M H Cowell | 5 | 61.7 kg |

| 13th | 2 | 1 |
Spartan Arrow (G)
[B]
Smart gelding who was a four-time winner in 2025, signing off with a Group 3 success at Dundalk in October. Well below par all 3 starts this year, though.

Hollie Doyle | A Watson | 6 | 61.7 kg |

Purosangue (G)
FAV
On a long losing run but has been cut plenty of slack by the handicapper and is worth monitoring in the market on debut for new yard.
|
Rossa Ryan | R M H Cowell | 5 | 59.9 kg |

5/1
|
| 11th | 4 | 12 |
Atomic Force (G)
Returned to form when taking Lingfield handicap (5f) in January and backed that up when landing 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford (5f, 6/1) 45 days ago. 6 lb higher now but another bold bid is on the cards.
|
O J Orr | E Bethell | 7 | 58.5 kg |
10
9/1
|
| 9th | 5 | 6 |
Elegant Erin (M)
C&D winner who landed a quick-fire double over this trip at Beverley in September. Never involved on return at Newcastle 2 months ago, however, and looks plenty high enough in the weights.
|
D Nolan | P T Midgley | 9 | 58.1 kg |

| 3rd | 6 | 7 |
Seven Questions (G)
[P]
Rarely threatened last term and has plenty to prove on return here. Cheekpieces back on.
|
Marco Ghiani | R M H Cowell | 5 | 57.6 kg |

9/1
|
| 10th | 7 | 3 |
Dark Cloud Rising (G)
[P]
Course winner who got back on scoreboard at Newcastle (5f) in November and ended campaign with creditable fifth of 9 in handicap over same C&D the following month. Warrants respect.
|
D Tudhope | D O'Meara | 4 | 57.6 kg |

6/1
|
| 7th | 8 | 9 |
Vantheman (G)
Caught the eye on final 2025 outing at York and made a winning return in 5f handicap at Newcastle in January. Wasn't suited by step up in trip at Southwell since and better is expected here.
|
Rowan Scott | K A Ryan | 5 | 54.4 kg |
8
7/1
|
| 6th | 9 | 11 |
Lethal Nymph (G)
Dual winner last year who has run with credit in defeat the last twice, latest when second of 5 in handicap (6/4) at Newcastle (5f) 84 days ago. Ought to give another good account.
|
Cam Hardie | P T Midgley | 7 | 54 kg |
26
25/1
|
| 12th | 10 | 2 |
Wobwobwob (G)
Made the frame on several occasions last term but isn't finding winning easy and is likely to find this trip on the sharp side.
|
Barry McHugh | A Keatley | 8 | 53.1 kg |

| 1st | 11 | 10 |
Arklow Lad (C)
[TP1]
Made a winning start for new connections at Chelmsford (5f) in February and ran to similar level when creditable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces now added and must be of interest.
|
Harry Davies | M Appleby | 4 | 53.1 kg |
8.50
15/2
|
| 2nd | 12 | 13 |
Havana Rum (G)
Course winner who added 2 victories to his tally last year. His record suggests he may well need this outing, though. 1 lb out of the handicap.
|
Ethan Tindall | R A Fahey | 6 | 52.6 kg |

25/1
|
| 8th | 13 | 4 |
Reigning Profit (G)
[V]
Goes particularly well here (4-time C&D winner) and hasn't been seen to best effect in both starts this year. Finds himself 4 lb out of the weights but can't be ruled out.
|
Tom Kiely-Marshall | Mrs R Carr | 7 | 52.6 kg |
