|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5th | 1 | 11 |
Tommy McJohn (G)
Eleven runs since his last win in 2024 but he signed off for Ciaran Murphy with a very good third of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (5f) in January. Not without interest for his new yard after a break.

Barry McHugh | A Keatley | 4 | 61.2 kg |

Harb (G)
FAV
Scored at Newcastle in February and suffered a poor run when eighth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (5f) 28 days ago. This C&D winner needs considering.

D Nolan | T Davidson | 7 | 61.2 kg |

Little Mi Mi (M)
Improved performer this year, winning twice at Newcastle (5f). Beaten a head in 13-runner handicap at Southwell (5f) last time and she should remain competitive despite another 2 lb rise.
|
A Mullen | I Jardine | 5 | 60.3 kg |

Keep The Gold (G)
[P]
Low-mileage 4-y-o who was fitted with cheekpieces when a good second of 7 in handicap at Redcar (5f) 10 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his comeback.

Connor Beasley | M Dods | 4 | 59.4 kg |

| 6th | 5 | 8 |
Canaria Queen (M)
[P]
Resumed winning ways in 14-runner handicap at Doncaster (5f) 11 days ago. Runner-up has gone in since so she's expected to be bang there nudged up 2 lb.
|
D Fentiman | T D Easterby | 6 | 58.1 kg |

Royal Duke (G)
C&D winner but he ended 2025 under something of a cloud, tenth of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f) 6 months ago.

Fear And Fast (G)
[V]
Remains a maiden after 16 runs. Ended last season with below-form seventh of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f) 6 months ago. Still not long with this yard though.

C Lee | J S Goldie | 4 | 56.7 kg |

Ski Angel (M)
Didn't prove the easiest to catch right last season but took this on her return in 2024 so needs considering after 6 months off.

Cam Hardie | R M Smith | 6 | 54.4 kg |

Wee Mary (F)
[H]
Got back on track with third of 17 in handicap at Thirsk (6f) 17 days ago, left with too much to do. Possibilities.
