Distinction (G)
[V]
Won 3 times last year and stepped up on reappearance run whilst shaping as if still working his way back to full fitness when fifth of 9 at Pontefract (1m, soft) a fortnight ago. Solid claims down in class.

Karakula (F)
Lightly-raced filly who opened her account after 11 weeks off here in September. Seemed stretched by the longer trip at Kempton (11f) when last seen in November and, though this will be a more suitable test, she looks vulnerable.

Nuptown Girl (F)
Fair filly who has been placed on 3 of her half-a-dozen appearances since joining present yard but record now stands at 0-12.

Kaaranah (G)
FAV
[P]
Gambled on in first-time cheekpieces and snapped losing run when keeping on well to bag a C&D handicap 15 days ago. 4 lb rise fair enough and he has to enter calculations.

Eagles Whistle (M)
[P]
Rattled off a hat-trick in classified company for Daragh Bourke in January (final win over C&D). Hasn't done a great deal wrong in 3 starts for new yard and she should be on the premises with headgear back on.

Moonlit Cloud (M)
[P]
Would be a serious contender off this mark if anywhere near her best but she ended 2025 on a bit of a downer.
