|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14th | 1 | 12 |
Caballo Grande (C)
Promise on turf debut before landing wide-margin all-weather wins in 6f maiden at Southwell and 7f novice at Wolverhampton. Useful effort at the latter track on reappearance last month and should be even more to come now handicapping back …

Stellar Sunrise (C)
Won in big fields at Glorious Goodwood (6f maiden) and the York Ebor meeting (7f nursery) last summer. Presumably unsuited by much more testing ground when well-held fifth in the Horris Hill over C&D on final start.

May Angel (G)
Landed a 7f all-weather novice at Southwell in July. The step up to Group 3 level proved beyond him on both subsequent starts but retains potential for leading stable switched to a handicap on return (has had gelding and breathing operatio…

Fort Rock (C)
Wootton Bassett colt who was a narrow winner of a pair of 7f Kempton novices last autumn. The form of the second win was boosted when the runner-up won back at Kempton recently. Very useful prospect for top yard.

Colori Forever (C)
FAV
Turf winner over this trip on good last season and made an impressive reappearance in 7f Southwell handicap 12 days ago, pulling 5 lengths clear. Will take a bit of stopping under a 6 lb penalty if he can translate that form back to the gr…

Shaman Champion (C)
Fairly useful for Richard Hughes at 2, finishing runner-up in nurseries at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good) and over C&D (good to soft). New trainer Clive Cox has a good recent record in this race but others in this line-up have greater scope …

Amorim (G)
Bolted up in 6f Windsor novice last June but didn't improve as might have been expected in his 3 subsequent starts. Steps up to 7f for the first time on reappearance (has been gelded). Still early days.

P Cosgrave | G Boughey | 3 | 58.5 kg |

| 9th | 8 | 6 |
Astrazar (G)
Failed to win over 5f/6f on his first 5 starts but 2-2 when stepped up to 7f last autumn, including a valuable conditions event at York. An opening handicap mark in the mid-80s demands more of him on reappearance, though. Has been gelded.

K Shoemark | E Walker | 3 | 57.2 kg |

12/1

| 5th | 9 | 2 |
Sapphire Steps (F)
Made winning start over 6f here last July but unable to make an impact when highly tried in 3 subsequent outings. Reappears from an opening handicap mark which requires a good chunk of improvement.

S M Levey | R Hannon | 3 | 56.2 kg |

| 13th | 10 | 11 |
Crown Office (C)
Confirmed debut promise at the second time of asking when comfortably landing short odds in 6f Leicester maiden (soft) in October. In top hands and could be plenty more to come. A must for the shortlist.

Tom Marquand | W J Haggas | 3 | 56.2 kg |

On The Inlet (G)
Has left his 2yo form well behind switched to handicaps on all-weather in recent weeks, making all with ease over 1m at Southwell and 7f at Wolverhampton. Another 12 lb higher now bidding for the hat-trick but it's unlikely he's reached hi…

Jason Watson | Dr R Newland & J Insole | 3 | 55.8 kg |

| 6th | 12 | 5 |
Peel Park (G)
Won a Yarmouth maiden over 6f last summer. Creditable sixth of 15 in 6f Doncaster St leger meeting nursery final start but it underlines that he needs to find a bit of improvement from this mark. Has been gelded.

Ray Dawson | R Varian | 3 | 55.3 kg |

Tamashal (C)
Well-bred colt who has made a positive star to his career on all-weather in recent months, winning 1m Chelmsford maiden and 7f Southwell handicap (edged out The Resdev Scholar and Illy's Roo) on last 2 starts. Should go well on the hat-tri…

The Resdev Scholar (G)
Ended 2025 on a roll, including 6f/7f Doncaster nursery wins in the mud, and made a positive start to his 3-y-o career when narrowly denied by Tamashal in 7f Southwell handicap 3 weeks ago.

Illy's Roo (G)
Dual winner for Jack Channon last year and struck at the first time of asking for Gemma Tutty in 7f Southwell handicap last month. Even better form when close third to Tamashal and The Resdev Scholar there 3 weeks ago.
