4/1 |
Macari
Four wins (one over hurdles) in a productive 2025 campaign, the latest a narrow success at Newbury in October (1m4f, soft); up 5lb but the step up in trip could have a positive effect.

Berkshire Sundance
Progressive stayer with low mileage for a 5yo; better than ever when seeing off 15 rivals at York on his seasonal return in October (2m, good); failed to back it up when 11l behind New York Minute at Southwell three weeks ago; no surprise to see him bounce back quickly.

New York Minute
Expensive to follow early in his career but things have clicked since September, winning at Chelmsford (1m6f) and then by a wide margin at Southwell in October (2m); completed his hat-trick at Southwell last month on his first run for Joey Ramsden (visor replaced blinkers); latest 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.

Robusto
On the same mark as when winning over C&D last July; four times a runner-up in the first half of the year but he was tailed off behind New York Minute at Southwell three weeks ago; should be sharper for that run but others appeal more for win purposes.

Dance Time
Chasing a hat-trick after 1m6f wins at Southwell and Wolverhampton on her last two starts; had 5l to spare on the second occasion and a 7lb rise could have been worse; fine over both the longer trip and on Polytrack; should go well despite the rise in class.

Bashful Boy
Veteran on a losing run and out of sorts on both the Flat and over hurdles since September; others look safer.

- William Carson / J L Flint

40/1 |
Lusaka
His last two wins have come when making the running, the only two occasions those tactics have been deployed in his last 12 starts; only of interest if backed.

- The Bunt
- Paddy Bradley / S Pearce

|
10/1 |
The Bunt
Seven-race maiden but he has shown promise at up to 2m; he was returning from a 566-day absence when fourth of six at Wolverhampton in October; has handicaps in him but perhaps not this one.
