Runners
| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 1 | 12 |
Secret Santa (C)
Failed to build on earlier promise when an odds-on third of 12 in maiden at Bath 11 months ago. Yard is going well so no surprise to see him bounce back on his handicap debut.
|
S M Levey | R Hannon | 3 | 61.7 kg |
9.50
17/2
|
| 15th | 2 | 2 |
Sizzling Seixas (F)
[H]
Built on debut promise when landing 5-runner novice at Kempton (6f) 39 days ago, always holding on. This Havana Grey filly can do better still now handicapping.
|
Rossa Ryan | C G Cox | 3 | 61.2 kg |
26
25/1
|
| 17th | 3 | 5 |
Star Of Albion (G)
[B]
Landed the odds in 6f Lingfield novice on return and not seen to best effect when tenth of 12 in handicap there 70 days ago, left poorly placed. No forlorn hope.
|
Marco Ghiani | Mrs A J Perrett | 3 | 61.2 kg |
26
25/1
|
| 10th | 4 | 8 |
Blue Orbit (G)
Gelded and back in good nick in 2026, nearest finish when fourth of 13 in handicap at Bath 21 days ago. Possibilities.
|
Jack Doughty | Dr R Newland & J Insole | 3 | 60.8 kg |
17
16/1
|
| 12th | 5 | 11 |
Rogue Temptation (F)
[P]
A fairly useful 6f winner at 2yrs. Cheekpieces on for first time when a solid fifth of 13 to Empress Olivia in handicap at Ripon (6f) 22 days ago, left poorly placed. Headgear is retained.
|
K Stott | E Bethell | 3 | 60.3 kg |
34
33/1
|
| 3rd | 6 | 6 |
Moscow Power (G)
FAV
Gelded/off 10 months before advancing his form with victory in 11-runner maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) 43 days ago. Well on top at the finish there and rates a player on his handicap debut.
|
George Wood | M Appleby | 3 | 60.3 kg |
4.33
10/3
|
| 4th | 7 | 19 |
Wedonttelllies (G)
Progressive 7f winner at 2yrs. Badly impeded over 1f out when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Bath on his recent return and remains capable of better.
|
W Buick | R Hughes | 3 | 60.3 kg |
11
10/1
|
| 2nd | 8 | 13 |
Hallo Spaceboy (C)
Improving son of Starman bagged 5f novice at Newcastle in November and reappeared with an excellent second of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 30 days ago. Holds solid claims.
|
K Shoemark | E Walker | 3 | 59.9 kg |
5
4/1
|
| 19th | 9 | 20 |
Arry Up (G)
Upwardly-mobile son of Harry Angel who completed a hat-trick in 8-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 30 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Hallo Spaceboy, always holding on. Up 5 lb but seems sure to go well again.
|
Lewis Edmunds | B R Millman | 3 | 59.4 kg |
8
7/1
|
| 7th | 10 | 18 |
Afton Down (G)
Time Test gelding gained a deserved breakthrough success in 9-runner novice at Wolverhampton (6f) 21 days ago. Goes into handicaps now but others look better treated at these weights.
|
Hollie Doyle | Jack Jones | 3 | 59.4 kg |
15
14/1
|
| 8th | 11 | 14 |
Fair Y Isle (F)
Lope Y Fernandez filly cosily bagged 6f Wolverhampton maiden in January and took a step forward when second of 7 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 43 days ago. Not out of things.
|
Tom Marquand | H J Evans | 3 | 59 kg |
29
28/1
|
| 5th | 12 | 9 |
Dublin Bay (G)
[P]
Resumed winning ways in 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 28 days ago. Had the run of the race there though and up 4 lb now.
|
D Tudhope | Ollie Sangster | 3 | 59 kg |
13
12/1
|
| 9th | 13 | 7 |
Night Mission (G)
Gelded/off 6 months before a creditable fifth of 8 to Arry Up in handicap at Kempton (6f) 30 days ago. Consistent sort.
|
J Mitchell | M G Rimell | 3 | 58.5 kg |
17
16/1
|
| 14th | 14 | 1 |
Twilight Glow (G)
Fair juvenile maiden. Back from 6 months off with a creditable fourth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 37 days ago.
|
Charles Bishop | J G Portman | 3 | 58.1 kg |
34
33/1

| — | 15 | 15 |
Duskaura (F)
A fair 5f turf maiden winner for Archie Watson last season but she has failed to fire in 3 all-weather handicaps for current yard in 2026.
|
William Cox | A W Carroll | 3 | 58.1 kg |
34
33/1
|
| 13th | 16 | 3 |
Ballybunion (G)
Progressed with each of his three runs last autumn, second of 6 in novice at Yarmouth (6f) final one. May do better on his return/handicap debut.
|
Saffie Osborne | M L W Bell | 3 | 57.6 kg |
21

|
| 11th | 17 | 4 |
Empress Olivia (F)
Has returned an improved model in 2026 and she landed 13-runner handicap at Ripon (6f) 22 days ago, despite hanging badly right most of way. Up 5 lb here though.
|
S De Sousa | M Walford | 3 | 57.2 kg |
21
20/1

| 16th | 18 | 16 |
Who Is Alice (F)
Got off the mark at Chepstow in July and in good nick after, though she was reportedly struck into when last of 9 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6f) in October on her final run for Jack Channon. Back with a new yard here.
|
Ray Dawson | G Harris | 3 | 55.8 kg |
81
80/1

| 6th | 19 | 10 |
Red Snapper (G)
[P]
On the up since the cheekpieces went on, scoring at Bath in October before returning with a very good second of 13 in handicap there 21 days ago. Can make his presence felt again.
|
Laura Coughlan | Kathy Turner | 3 | 54.4 kg |
12
11/1
|
| 18th | 20 | 17 |
Bellini Spirit (F)
Runner-up in Chelmsford maiden for Anthony Carson in October but yet to match that form this season, eighth of 9 on her handicap debut at Bath (5f) 33 days ago.
