|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7th | 1 | 4 |
Darkness (G)
Useful gelding who bagged handicaps over C&D and at Goodwood (7f) in 2025. Has gone well fresh in the past but this is no easy return.

| 4th | 2 | 2 |
Elarak (G)
Got back on the up when signing off for 2025 with 7f handicap success at Newmarket in September. This son of Kingman remains relatively lightly raced and needs considering on his return.

761-442 | Jason Watson | C Hills | 4 | 60.8 kg |

| 6th | 3 | 3 |
Mount Athos (G)
Smart gelding who comes here on the back of an all-the-way win in 7f handicap at Kempton 23 days ago. This C&D winner holds solid claims.
|
2023-71 | James Doyle | J Tate | 7 | 60.8 kg |

| 1st | 4 | 7 |
Myal (G)
Useful gelding and a two-time 7f scorer last season. Not disgraced after over 5 months off when fifth of 12 to Aramram in 6f listed race at Doncaster 13 days ago.

4002-51 | D Allan | Steph Hollinshead | 5 | 60.8 kg |

Rhoscolyn (G)
[T]
Landed 1m Goodwood handicap in August and back on song when fourth in 7f Doncaster handicap on his final run in October. This demands a clear personal best though.

Poet Master (G)
FAV
Smart gelding. Only lightly raced last season but he posted a good second of 5 in Challenge Stakes at Newmarket (7f) in October on his final start. Has won off a break and rates the form pick here.

Scoville (G)
Too Darn Hot gelding landed a pair of 1m novices at Windsor and Newmarket on his first 2 starts. Failed to kick on though, only fourth of 5 in Challenge Stakes at Newmarket (7f) in October. Remains lightly raced though.

1104-87 | Cieren Fallon | W J Haggas | 4 | 59 kg |

| 3rd | 8 | 6 |
Seacruiser (G)
Twice-raced son of Sea The Stars who built on debut promise when landing 1m maiden at Newmarket in September 2024. Off since though but remains with potential for leading yard.
