Sporting Life forecast prices — published the night before the race. Top 3 highlighted as market favourites.

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
2nd	1	1	Dagger Strike (G) Promising sort. 4/5, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Newcastle (7f) 5 days ago, forging 4 lengths clear. Well treated under a 6 lb penalty but so is Dartrey.	William Cox	A Watson	3	64 kg	4.50 7/2
4th	2	3	Somebody (G) [BT] Fair maiden. 5/2 and blinkered first time, respectable third of 4 in nursery at Newcastle (6f) 21 days ago.	George Wood	R Spencer	3	59.9 kg	19 18/1
5th	3	2	Emilia Casanova (F) Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1, third of 14 in C&D novice 15 days ago. Handicap newcomer from a leading stable.	Pierre-Louis Jamin	K R Burke	3	58.5 kg	26 25/1
—	4	4	Sailor Batt (G) Fair form. Hooded first time, bit below par when sixth of 11 in nursery at Haydock (7f, good to soft, 11/1) 78 days ago. Makes AW debut after short break.	Lewis Edmunds	T D Barron	3	57.6 kg	17 16/1
3rd	5	6	Archangel Josepi (G) [P1] Maiden. 10/3, creditable fourth of 9 in nursery at this course (1m) 15 days ago, well positioned. First-time cheekpieces need to give him a bit extra.	Ben Robinson	B Ellison	3	57.6 kg	17 16/1
1st	6	5	Dartrey (G) FAV Notably strong in the betting and powered 4 lengths clear on his 6f course handicap debut on New Year's Day. 7f should suit even better and he'll be hard to beat if coping with the quick turnaround.	Edward Greatrex	R M Beckett	3	57.6 kg	1.33 1/3

Betting forecast: Dartrey (1/3), Dagger Strike (7/2), Archangel Josepi (16/1), Sailor Batt (16/1), Somebody (18/1), Emilia Casanova (25/1)
