7/2

C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (4/1) at Doncaster (7f, heavy) when last seen in November. Act of Violence appears to be the stable No 1 judged on jockey bookings but he's one to consider nonetheless.

9/1

14/1

C&D winner. 6/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D (heavy). Off 172 days but he won't be far away if resuming in good form.

40/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 28 days ago, doing too much too soon. Opposable.

Forecasts

Sacred Falls (3/1), Mister Sox (7/2), Act Of Violence (4/1), Protest Rally (9/1), Animate (9/1), Fenlander (9/1), One Of Our Own (11/1), Highjacked (14/1), Dapperling (14/1), Daytona Lady (28/1), Bazball (40/1)

DAPPERLING ended last season out of sorts but she has been given a chance by the handicapper (10 lb lower compared to when making her seasonal reappearance in 2024) and could be worth chancing in this open-looking contest. The Tim Easterby-trained duo Act of Violence and Mister Sox rate the main dangers, with Highjacked also expected to feature.
