J: Darragh Keenan

T: John Gallagher

Eight-time winner at up to 7f; made virtually all when scoring at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) in April, but he's not hit the same level since and was only sixth of eight at Windsor last time; now back below his last winning mark but he needs to raise his game.

Form & Verdict
Veteran who retains lots of enthusiasm, beaten under one length into third in his bid for a hat-trick last month; fully effective over C&D and he should give it another good go from the front.

The winner of two of his last four starts, more recently a C&D event five weeks ago; 3lb rise not punitive and he's one to consider in this open sprint.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

Ended 2025 with two placed efforts on AW and he lines up here off a 6lb lower mark than when second at Newcastle in December; that is a result of four lesser efforts though and he now has a point to prove.

J: Alistair Rawlinson

No win since February 2024; caught late by Latin Five (who, when factoring in riding arrangements, is now 6lb worse off) over C&D three starts back; less competitive at Southwell (6f) and Wolverhampton since; must bounce back.

7 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
He has run twice at Brighton, winning both starts over this C&D in the autumn of 2021; 0-7 this year but he's been banging at the door and should give it another good go.

3 yo Filly

OR: 62

Form & Verdict
Her only win from 13 starts came in a C&D nursery for Ralph Beckett last summer off a 3lb higher mark; fair stable debut at Goodwood in June but she's gone backwards since (6f and 7f); drops in trip and class with a good 7lb claimer booked and she needs a market check back at the scene of her win.

Well backed when making a winning debut for this yard over C&D (soft) three weeks ago; 5lb rise doesn't handicap him out of things on this year's best and faster ground no problem either; major player.

Six-time winner is 4-22 on turf; last two wins have come at the Curragh but has run well in defeat over this C&D on more than one occasion; shaped well at Bellewstown on penultimate but needs to bounce back from poor Curragh run latest; 2lb above highest winning mark.
