- Emperor Spirit
- Daniel Muscutt / Michael Keady
|
|
90
|
22/1 |
Emperor Spirit
Made a winning stable debut at Newmarket in July (5f, good to firm); placed over C&D and Newcastle (5f) this autumn; won't find it easy trying to dominate this field from his wide stall though.
|

|
- Justcallmepete
- D C Costello / A W Carroll
|
|
91
|
7/1 |
Justcallmepete
He has been rated much higher in the past so climbing 8lb for his last two 6f wins (Kempton and C&D) need not be a barrier to success; up in class tonight but still greatly respected.

- Havana Rum
- Ethan Tindall / R A Fahey

|
9/1 |
Havana Rum
Produced a strong finish to win decisively over 5f here two weeks ago; returning to 6f should be advantageous but he has the widest stall to contend with.

- Mesaafi
- Paddy Bradley / R Burdon

|
10/3 |
Mesaafi
Impressed over C&D in June and followed up at Lingfield four days later (both off this mark); there have been some good runs in defeat since then and he's well drawn to attack; one to consider.
|
|

|
- Existent
- Alistair Rawlinson / S C Williams
|
|
92
|
9/2 |
Existent
Getting on for four years since his last win but he was banging at the door in the first half of 2025 and he went desperately close over C&D three weeks ago, picked off close home by Justcallmepete; up 2lb but that shouldn't prevent another prominent showing.

- Cherry Cobbler
- S M Levey / S C Williams

93
|
6/1 |
Cherry Cobbler
Unexposed 3yo; promising third over C&D on his handicap debut in October (after 259 days off); found out by the drop back to 5f here two weeks ago but he remains capable of better at this trip; strong claims.
|
|
|

- Panelli
- Jack Dace / S C Williams

|
40/1 |
Panelli
1m winner for George Boughey in September; unable to land a blow over 5f on his stable debut here two weeks ago (behind Cherry Cobbler); stable appear to have stronger claims elsewhere.

- Charlie Mason
- Jack Doughty / A W Carroll

|
7/1 |
Charlie Mason
In good form since July, winning at Doncaster (6f, good) and in the frame in three runs since; latest Newbury second (6f, soft) was up there with his best efforts and another prominent showing should be forthcoming.
|

|
- Sensorium
- Kyle Strydom / Dylan Cunha

|
90
|
9/1 |
Sensorium
Off the mark for the year with a ready C&D success in October (tongue tied for the first time); gelded afterwards; two subsequent runs less convincing and hopes rest on the returning blinkers giving him a lift.
|
|

|
- Em Four
- Rob Hornby / J A Osborne
|

89
|
25/1 |
Em Four
Two wins in small-field 6f handicaps on turf this summer; late headway into third over C&D three weeks ago but no obvious reason why he'd turn the tables on Justcallmepete or Existent.
|
|
|
|
- Dark Side Thunder
- Lewis Edmunds / Jessica Macey
|
|
91
|
14/1 |
Dark Side Thunder
Winning for the eighth time on AW when running out the well-backed winner of a C&D handicap two weeks ago; this looks a much deeper race, however, and a combination of a 3lb rise and wide stall could find him out.
|
|
|
|
- Tyger Bay
- George Wood / C Allen
|
|
91
|
12/1 |
Tyger Bay
Won twice on Polytrack in the summer (including C&D) and he has run well in defeat over C&D on his last two starts; finished behind three reopposing rivals last time and this might prove too competitive.
|
|
|
|
- General Assembly
- Harry Davies / C Hobson
|
|
91
|
50/1 |
General Assembly
Won twice over 5f here this autumn; dropped away having forced a strong pace in the C&D handicap won by Justcallmepete three weeks ago; others have more pressing claims.
|
|
|
|
- Giant
- L Morris / Ian Williams
|
|
90
|
20/1 |
Giant
Made a winning debut for Ian Williams in a 1m handicap here in August; runner-up twice over 7f here in October; can get it wrong at the start but a good showing wouldn't come as a shock.
