10th	1	8	Sterling Knight (G) Gained reward for his consistency in 2025 when landing 7f handicap here in July. Looked rusty after 6 months off at Southwell (7f) 15 days ago but needs to take a big step forward.	310037	Toby Moore E A L Dunlop	7	62.6kg	41 40/1
2nd	2	1	Far From Dandy (G) FAV P Irish raider signed off for 2025 with a pair of 1m Dundalk victories and has resumed in very good nick, faring best of those held up when fourth of 25 in Irish Lincolnshire at the Curragh 13 days ago…	642200	Colin Keane Stephen Thorne	4	62.6kg	6.50 11/2
19th	3	17	First Ambition (G) Bagged his first 2 races at Newcastle and Southwell in 2025. Not discredited when seventh in Wolverhampton handicap last time and may still do better with relatively few miles on the clock for good y…	76-6706	Pierre-Louis Jamin K R Burke	5	62.1kg	23 22/1
11th	4	12	Principality (G) Arrived late to land 1m handicap at Goodwood last summer and ended 2025 with very good efforts in 1m handicaps there and at Newmarket, not ideally drawn on each occasion. This could set up well for h…	345-015	Kaiya Fraser Harry Eustace	4	61.7kg	9 8/1
13th	5	6	Cadarn (G) Started 2025 with victory in back-to-back 1m handicaps at Redcar. Only seen twice after for George Boughey and not at his best but can't be discounted for new yard given he goes well fresh and remain…	4-05013	K Stott K A Ryan	5	61.7kg	34 33/1
4th	6	5	Perfect Part (F) Capable of useful form and twice made the frame at listed level (6f/7f) in the first half of last season. Form tailed off towards the end of the year though and she has her stamina to prove stepping …	0-46420	Harry Russell B Ellison	4	61.2kg	51 50/1
14th	7	10	Carron (G) T A 3-time winner (including on turf) last year for Charles Hills and got back on the up for his new yard with a gutsy success in 1m Newcastle handicap 22 days ago. This is tougher under a penalty but …	7-36108	Jack Callan G Boughey	4	61.2kg	15 14/1
9th	8	13	Desperate Dan (G) Ended 2025 on a high with victory in 14-runner handicap over C&D in October. This demands another step forward though off a 4 lb higher mark.	06141-9	N Callan P W Chapple-Hyam	5	60.8kg	12 11/1
20th	9	21	Vincent Rocks (G) Looked a good prospect when bagging 1m novices at Nottingham and Southwell on his first 2 starts in the summer. Proved a big disappointment when only ninth on his handicap debut at Newbury upped in t…	19-0302	Cieren Fallon H Palmer	4	60.8kg	12 11/1
15th	10	19	Intrusively (G) Only has a maiden win to his name but has been highly tried at times and ended last term with a good fourth to Desperate Dan here in October on his final run for Ed Bethell. Has been gelded and start…	094447	R Havlin M Appleby	4	60.3kg	21 20/1
7th	11	14	Classic Encounter (G) Proved a largely reliable sort in 2025, scoring at Redcar (1m) and York (9f). Goes well fresh too so needs considering for his in-form handler.	761423	H Crouch G Boughey	5	60.3kg	9 8/1
1st	12	3	Mezcala (G) FAV Landed the odds in 1m all-weather maiden at Lingfield and improved again when runner-up on his handicap debut at Haydock. Failed to get home upped to 9f when seventh at Newmarket final run and could …	27-1310	George Bass J Channon	4	60.3kg	6.50 11/2
16th	13	16	Empirestateofmind (G) B A dual winner last season at Ayr and Musselburgh. Shaped quite a bit better than the distance beaten suggests in this 12 months ago but did have race fitness on his side.	040995	Jason Hart J & S Quinn	8	59.9kg	41 40/1
21th	14	2	Naples (G) Lightly-raced son of Mehmas who ended his time for Paddy Twomey with victory in 1m Listowel maiden in September. Changed hands for 20,000 gns and goes handicapping for his new yard with more required.	21-0530	D C Costello Steph Hollinshead	4	59.9kg	51 50/1
18th	15	20	Rainbow Nebula (G) V Off the mark in big-field Ascot handicap last autumn and got back on the up (in a first-time visor) with a gritty success at Newcastle (1m) in November. Still lightly raced as he begins his 4-y-o cam…	1-01565	Billy Garritty R A Fahey	4	59.4kg	11 10/1
3rd	16	9	Lir Speciale (G) Made it 3-3 here in a 7f heavy-ground handicap in November. A 5 lb rise tolerable and just as effective over 1m, so could be on the premises once more having won first time up in the past.	302457	C J Whiteley B Ellison	7	59kg	17 16/1
22th	17	22	Milteye (G) Proved more settled when getting back on the up with success in 1m Leicester handicap in October. Career-high mark to overcome in tougher race on return.	261-018	S D Bowen H Bethell	6	59kg	41 40/1
12th	18	18	Prosperitas (G) P Low-mileage 4-y-o who proved much improved in first-time cheekpieces when bagging 15-runner 7f handicap here in October from On The River. Needs another step forward to get involved on first crack at…	1/5001-0	Marco Ghiani T Kent	4	59kg	34 33/1
17th	19	15	High On Hope (G) Successful twice over 1m in January and in better heart than his recent form figures suggest, fourth of 12 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 8 days ago when not enjoying a clear run. This is tougher bac…	116554	Harry Davies M Appleby	4	59kg	12 11/1
8th	20	7	Pressure's On (G) Right back to his best in 2026, runner-up in a pair of 7f handicaps at Wolverhampton. Can race off the same mark here so possibilities.	00-2285	O J Orr E A L Dunlop	5	57.6kg	41 40/1
5th	21	11	On The River (G) Consistent sort who signed off last term with a very good second of 15 to Prosperitas in 7f handicap here. Majority of his wins have come on soft/heavy going though.	42-5275	P J McDonald H Bethell	7	57.2kg	29 28/1
6th	22	4	Zowal (G) Winner of 1m maiden at Musselburgh on his reappearance last April but this French import failed to build on it in handicaps (reported to have suffered breathing problem on last 2 outings). Needs to b…	7P0-613	Warren Fentiman J & S Quinn	4	56.7kg	67 66/1
