Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
7th	1	7	Duke's Command (G) Won 3 times last season, including at Lingfield in December. Looked a shade rusty after a 2-month break there 3 weeks ago and better can be expected dropping back in trip.	13-8765	Oisin Murphy D O'Meara	5	61.2kg	9 8/1
1st	2	10	First Principle (G) FAV T Front runner who resumed progress returned to all-weather when winning at Southwell in October and followed that with a good second at Kempton following month. Ran a cracker on return from a break wh…	2-21006	Tom Marquand W J Haggas	4	60.3kg	3.75 11/4
9th	3	4	Superposition (G) HT Encouraging comeback when fourth at Lingfield last month but hung so badly right he proved virtually unsteerable over C&D 13 days ago. Hood and tongue strap now go on.	409134	R Havlin E A L Dunlop	5	59.9kg	26 25/1
3rd	4	11	City Of Poets (C) Has shown a quirky side but hard to crab his effort when beating Zryan by a short head in a 12-runner C&D handicap in November, travelling fluently before responding well to pressure. 3 lb higher mar…	1-39410	Rossa Ryan J Tate	4	59.4kg	5 4/1
2nd	5	5	Dosman (G) Gained reward for what had been a promising start for new connections when winning a 12-runner handicap at Southwell (1m) 28 days ago by 2 lengths from Zryan. Helped by being held up in a strongly-ru…	212456	Jonny Peate Oli Rix	5	59kg	8.50 15/2
6th	6	2	Zryan (G) Reliable sort who scored over 9.5f here in December and seemed well suited by the emphasis on speed when doubling his tally for the winter at Newcastle (1¼m) in January. Another fine effort when 2 le…	126090	Jason Watson D O'Meara	5	58.5kg	13 12/1
11th	7	3	Advancing (G) P Landed a gamble on debut for this yard (formerly trained by Marco Botti) over C&D and proved better than ever when quickening clear in a 11-runner handicap at Kempton (1m) 16 days ago. Should go well…	441006	Hollie Doyle M Botti	4	58.5kg	5.50 9/2
5th	8	13	Unassuming (M) T Three-time winner in 2025 and has largely held form well this winter, though turned in a very rare poor effort when down the field behind Dosman at Southwell 4 weeks ago. Type to bounce back quickly,…	3-45059	Billy Loughnane G Boughey	6	58.1kg	15 14/1
10th	9	9	Thunder Wonder (G) Won twice at Musselburgh last season but ended year out of sorts. Now 5 lb below last winning mark but has bit to prove after 6 months off.	00-0483	Callum Shepherd C Johnston	4	57.6kg	15 14/1
—	10	12	Perfect Part (F) Twice in the frame at listed level (6f/7f) in the first half of last season before form tailed off towards end of year. Stamina to prove stepping up in trip on return.	0-46420	Ben Robinson B Ellison	4	57.6kg	26 25/1
12th	11	6	Penzance (G) Has recaptured some form of late, finishing second of 4 at Dundalk prior to a decent third of 6 at Chelmsford last week. Probably remains vulnerable to less-exposed rivals, though.	3-4222	Alistair Rawlinson J J Hanlon	6	57.2kg	26 25/1
4th	12	1	Exquisite Acclaim (G) V Notched a sixth course success at Dundalk in January but not in same form when only tenth of 13 there (1m) 4 weeks ago.	407360	O J Orr A McGuinness	7	57.2kg	81 80/1
8th	13	8	Moon Beginnings (G) Won 7f novice at Chester on debut and ran at least as well when second under a penalty at Southwell next time. Checked out tamely from a stiff opening mark at Newcastle 90 days ago, though.	805489	D Egan D Loughnane	4	56.7kg	15 14/1
