|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5th | 1 | 7 |
Monotone (G)
[TP]
Well held on all starts since joining Antony Brittain. Would need to see market support to consider back from a 10-week break.
|
Cam Hardie | A Brittain | 4 | 61.2 kg |

40/1

| 11th | 2 | 10 |
Sergeant Mayer (G)
Two 5f turf wins last May. Back on a workable mark and claims if ready to roll after 168 days off.
|
Alex Jary | N Tinkler | 5 | 60.8 kg |
15
14/1
|
| 8th | 3 | 8 |
Harb (G)
FAV
Back to winning ways at Newcastle (5f) in February. Creditable fourth next time but below par over 6f at Newcastle latest. Successful on turf off this mark last year.
|
C Horgan | T Davidson | 7 | 60.8 kg |
5.50
9/2
|
| 1st | 4 | 4 |
Jojo Rabbit (G)
Eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5f, 16/1) on reappearance 18 days ago. Should be sharper now.
|
Joanna Mason | Mrs R Carr | 8 | 60.3 kg |

15/2

Ganesha (G)
Ended 2025 with a pair of runner-up efforts at Newcastle but down the field there on all 3 outings this year. It remains to be seen whether a return to turf sparks a revival. NON RUNNER.
|
Rowan Scott | Phillip Makin | 5 | 59.9 kg |
9
8/1
|
| 2nd | 6 | 1 |
Iris Dancer (M)
Hamilton specialist who added 3 more wins there last year. Off 162 days. No great record fresh and probably best watched this time.
|
Lexie Clarkson | T Davidson | 8 | 59.9 kg |

20/1
|
| 3rd | 7 | 9 |
Get Up Everybody (G)
Placed 3 times in sprint handicaps in the second half of 2025. Has had a breathing operation ahead of this first start for 6 months. Still lightly raced as sprinters go.
|
D Nolan | P T Midgley | 4 | 59.9 kg |
6
5/1
|
| 12th | 8 | 3 |
Wrestling Revenue (G)
C&D winner on soft last autumn but beaten only a couple home in 2 outings since. Off 10 weeks. Needs a return to Pontefract to spark a revival.
|
A Mullen | B Haslam | 5 | 59.4 kg |
8.50
15/2
|
| 10th | 9 | 11 |
Lucius Aurelius (G)
[P]
Didn't shape too badly when fifth on Newcastle reappearance and can have a line put through his subsequent Southwell run (hampered). Went close off higher marks on turf last spring.
|
K Stott | K A Ryan | 4 | 59 kg |
7.50
13/2
|
| 9th | 10 | 12 |
Mu Mu Land (G)
[P]
All-weather maiden winner but also effective on turf. Respectable fourth at Chelmsford (6f) when last seen in December. Has had a breathing operation ahead of reappearance.
|
Tom Kiely-Marshall | Miss J A Camacho | 4 | 59 kg |
11
10/1
|
| 13th | 11 | 13 |
Pinjarra (G)
[B]
Prominent racer who bounced back to his best to win at Chelmsford (6f) in February. Well beaten at Southwell since but the yard did win this race last year.
|
Jason Hart | J & S Quinn | 5 | 59 kg |
15
14/1
|
| 7th | 12 | 2 |
Kitaab (G)
Only the odd bit of encouragement on all-weather since returning from a year off. Best watched unless the betting speaks in his favour.
|
Aiden Brookes | P A Kirby | 7 | 58.5 kg |
7
6/1
|
| 6th | 13 | 6 |
Canaria Queen (M)
[P]
Three wins in a productive 2025. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft) final start. Could go well if fully primed after 161 days off.
|
D Fentiman | T D Easterby | 6 | 57.2 kg |
15
14/1
|
| 4th | 14 | 5 |
Masterclass (G)
[B]
Thirteen runs since last win in 2025. 33/1, bit below form when eighth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) in November. Back down in trip after 138 days off. Blinkers are also back on. Others are more persuasive.

Rhys Elliott | P T Midgley | 7 | 55.3 kg |
