8th	2	1	Bungle Bay (G) 5-time C&D winner, the latest in October. Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 14/1) 61 days ago but a return to this venue can likely see him back to form from a handy draw.	058224	Joe Leavy H J Evans	7	61.2kg	12 11/1
9th	3	6	Mythical Isle (G) Posted best effort yet when runner-up over 6f here in December. However, that form didn't work out and he ran poorly when eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 23 days ago, weakening approachi…	934917	Paddy Bradley P Morris	4	60.8kg	29 28/1
3rd	4	8	Homme De Fer (G) FAV Went the right way on all-weather in 2025, opening account over C&D in December and going in again at Lingfield later in the month. Ran another solid race when close-up third at Kempton (1m) 13 days …	333355	William Carson A W Carroll	5	60.8kg	2.63 13/8
2nd	5	3	Fistral Beach (M) C&D winner. Three wins from 16 runs last year. 6/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 24 days ago. Becoming well treated.	131237	Jack Doughty J Mackie	5	59.4kg	7 6/1
7th	6	2	Buttercross Flyer (M) Latest win at Lingfield in August. Below form 6¼ lengths seventh of 12 to Homme de Fer in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 18/1) 36 days ago. Needs to cut out the tardy starts if she's to play a promin…	1397-78	K T O'Neill S Dixon	5	59kg	13 12/1
4th	7	7	Tootsie (F) TV Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 8 in minor event (18/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 5 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Others have achieved more.	8-04344	Billy Loughnane P S McEntee	4	57.6kg	15 14/1
5th	8	5	Eye Of The Water (G) P Veteran C&D winner but it's now 31 runs since his last one back in 2023. Turned in a creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 50 days ago but others appeal more on balance for win purpos…	446363	Rob Hornby R Harris	10	57.2kg	34 33/1
6th	9	4	Musaytir (G) Boasts just the one win from 49 Flat runs and he again offered very little for new yard when seventh of 9 in minor event (150/1) at this course (6.1f) 4 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.	876788	Nicola Currie Joe Ponting	8	57.2kg	201 200/1
