Desert Cop (G)
Won minor event at Sakhir in early-2025. Placed twice there this year but generally below form otherwise, not carrying much of a win threat at Nottingham last week. This is slightly easier.

Fidelius (G)
Doubled tally for 2026 at Lingfield in March and still in top form when second of 6 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 9/4) 25 days ago, edged out final strides. Another bold bid forthcoming.

Sturlasson (G)
Third win of a productive autumn at Southwell in November. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good) 20 days ago and more needed to defy current mark.

Ruby's Profit (F)
[H1T]
Successful twice last spring, including on last season's reappearance but shaped as though needing the run this time when 9½ lengths last of 14 to Azure Angel in listed race at this C&D 29 days ago. Hood on first time and dangerous if gett…

Marty Hopkirk (G)
Highly tried after novice win last spring. Fifth of 6 in handicap (13/2) at Southwell (5f) 25 days ago and he may come forward for that reappearance.

Regal Envoy (G)
[P]
Can boast a pretty good strike rate and while he couldn't match last year's win in the race, he made a sound return to action when third of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good) 20 days ago. Weighted to go well.

Angel Shared (M)
FAV
Rattled off a Newmarket hat-trick last summer and stepped up markedly on reappearance when 1¾ lengths fifth of 14 to Azure Angel in listed race at this C&D (good, 40/1) 29 days ago. Big player as she figures on her last winning mark.

Moulin Booj (G)
Built on comeback run when winning at Wolverhampton in March. Sent off 33/1 but he shaped well when sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 31 days ago. Shortlist material back at 5f.
