Mount Ruapehu (G)
FAV
Cosily made it 3 wins in 5 runs since joining Iain Jardine in 10-runner handicap at Southwell (6f) 5 days ago. Saddles a 5 lb penalty but not taken lightly.

A Mullen | I Jardine | 6 | 61.7 kg |

Midnight Lir (G)
C&D winner but it's now eighteen runs since that win in 2023 and only twelfth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 7 months ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Connor Beasley | M Dods | 5 | 61.2 kg |

Digital (G)
[P]
Dual 5f winner at Newcastle early in 2026 but well below form of late, only ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 31 days ago. Yard is going well though and this C&D winner is handily weighted if back on his A-game.

J P Sullivan | Mrs R Carr | 8 | 61.2 kg |

| 1st | 4 | 1 |
Hi Lord (G)
Winless since 2024 and yet to hit top form this season, though he was ridden aggressively when fifth of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (6f) 12 days ago.

Barry McHugh | W G Harrison | 4 | 60.8 kg |

13/2

| 6th | 5 | 10 |
Ganesha (G)
On a long losing run but not seen to best effect when fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 20 days ago. More is still needed from this C&D winner though.
|
S H James | Phillip Makin | 5 | 59.4 kg |

Until Dawn (F)
[H]
Scored twice on all-weather at the beginning of 2025 but lost her form later in the year. Had a breathing operation before coming in seventh of 9 in handicap at Beverley (5f) 10 days ago.

Rhys Elliott | A D Brown | 4 | 59.4 kg |

Thunderstorm Katie (M)
Scored (over 5f) at Musselburgh and Newcastle in October but below par since, only ninth of 11 to Digital back at Newcastle (5f) in January. This C&D winner needs to take a big step forward.
|
P Mulrennan | J S Goldie | 5 | 59.4 kg |

| 10th | 8 | 7 |
King Of The Jungle (G)
On a losing sequence but he wasn't best placed when fifth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (6f) in July. Off since but has a good record when fresh so not out of things.
|
Lewis Chalkley | M & D Easterby | 6 | 57.2 kg |

| 12th | 9 | 8 |
Opal Storm (M)

Back to winning ways at Southwell in April and followed it up with a solid fifth of 14 at Doncaster (5f) 9 days ago.

Faye McManoman | B Rothwell | 6 | 57.2 kg |

Sir Benedict (G)
[P]
C&D winner who comes here in decent nick for his new yard, fifth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (5f) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on now and not discounted.
|
Joanna Mason | B Haslam | 8 | 54 kg |

Colour Code (M)
Got off the mark in Newcastle classified event in August but can't be relied on and he refused to race back there in March.
|
Mark Winn | Miss L A Perratt | 5 | 54 kg |

| 5th | 12 | 3 |
Doon The Glen (G)
Gained his sole win at Newcastle (6f) last March. Good second back there (5f) in March but only tenth of 17 in handicap at Thirsk (6f) 15 days ago.

Lauren Young | J S Goldie | 6 | 53.5 kg |

Sixcor (G)
[P]
C&D winner but he ended 2025 below form, eighth of 14 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f) in October. Needs to hit the ground running after 6 months off.

Ethan Tindall | Miss L A Perratt | 8 | 52.6 kg |
