Ayr Poet
(GBR)
Veteran six-time course winner, the latest coming over C&D in September. Poorly drawn and never on terms on last month's Musselburgh reappearance and entitled to be sharper with that run under his belt.

Successful 3 times during a productive 2025 campaign for Tim Easterby and back to his best for Stewart Williams of late, resuming winning ways at Bath (1m) 23 days ago. Since changed hands for 35,000 gns and well worth …

Cisco Disco
(IRE)
Ended last season in great form, making it 4 wins from last 5 starts over 1¼m here in October. Those victories came with plenty of give underfoot however, and no sure thing to be in same form having gone up further in w…

R M Smith | 8 | 9-3 | — | — |

Back-to-back all-weather winner in November. Continues to hamper himself out of the stalls but a quartet of runner-up efforts in recent months confirms he remains in pretty good order. However, not at best at Wolverhamp…

Footwork
(GBR)
Low-mileage colt who doubled his career tally at Haydock (1m) 12 months ago. Ended the campaign with a below par display at Kempton and shaped as if he'd come on for his recent return at Newmarket (1m) 18 days ago. This…

Good Morning Alex
(GBR)
Back to his best when dead-heating at Ripon (1m) last spring. However, has cut little ice on all-weather/turf this year.

Motawaared
(GBR)
Didn't kick on as expected in handicaps last season and offered little encouragement back from 7 months off at Musselburgh (12.5f) 24 days ago. Needs to show more before becoming of interest.

Northwest Passage
(GBR)
Relished testing conditions when opening account at Salisbury (1¼m) in September. Left Roger Teal following pair of modest hurdle runs and undergone breathing operation prior to last month's rather tame finishing tenth …

Pearl Eye
(GBR)
Ended last season below form but shaped very well starting out for new yard after 6 months off when third in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. A stronger pace will surely see him to even better effect and he's one to be inter…

C&D winner who resumed winning ways over further here last spring. Too free when down the field at Chester 11 months ago but he returns unexposed as a miler and interesting if supported in the market on seasonal bow.
