Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
3rd	1	3	Bubbles Wonky (G) Made a tame start since leaving Tim Easterby and only fourth of 7 in a handicap at Chelmsford when last seen in March. Hard to fancy on that.	794333	Daniel Muscutt M Pattinson	5	61.2kg	11 10/1
7th	2	7	Dannick (G) T Runner-up twice in August/September but then flopped at Doncaster in first-time blinkers (discarded here) on final 2025 outing. Returns from 191 days off on the back of a breathing operation and over…	0-70851	T P Queally G & J Moore	4	60.8kg	9.50 17/2
2nd	3	5	Influential (G) A £240,000 purchase who showed fairly useful form and looked up to winning races when second of 3 at Newcastle in October. Only seventh of 9 in a handicap at Nottingham on recent reappearance but sha…	552-721	Ray Dawson R Varian	4	60.8kg	6 5/1
5th	4	2	Man Of Desert (G) Has largely struggled in handicaps and was tenth of 11 at Yarmouth over 7f 13 days ago, looking rusty over an inadequate trip after 6 months off. Back up to 1m which may help but may ultimately need …	7-05742	S De Sousa C A Dwyer	5	59.9kg	5 4/1
4th	5	6	Grey Soul (G) Shaped well here prior to readily winning a handicap for Roger Varian at Newcastle with first-time blinkers fitted in October. Returns from 195-day break with blinkers removed and first run for new s…	861-411	K Shoemark Dan Horsford	4	59.4kg	13 12/1
8th	6	8	Cephalus (G) B Won a seller in October but hasn't made much impact since leaving Gary & Josh Moore afterwards. However, he was a bit better than the result when last seen and is a C&D winner so he's not one to tota…	690890	Joey Haynes C Banham	7	59kg	34 33/1
6th	7	1	The Dark Baron (G) Going through an excellent spell, having won 3 of his last 10 outings (including twice at Wolverhampton) and not finishing outside of the frame in any of the others. May well get his own way out in f…	136444	Laura Coughlan Kathy Turner	4	56.2kg	4.33 10/3
1st	8	4	Valentine Boy (G) FAV Won over C&D in November and produced a creditable third of 9 here 28 days ago, keeping on well. Should once more prove competitive.	1-03148	Jack Dace L A Dace	4	56.2kg	3.75 11/4
