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

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	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.	81-2227	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.	9223-43	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.	633-	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.	36-2533	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.	24-3732	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.	0-11140	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)
