Stipulation^p⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 65

4/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 52 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Remains 4 lb above last winning mark and one or two of the others could be better treated at present.

King Chaos^p,t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: R Menzies| OR: 62| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. 10/1, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 8 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. 1 lb nudge fair enough and likely to be on the premises once again.

Spec Of Light¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: L Morris| T: D Loughnane| OR: 65| C

17/2

Course winner. 4/1, good third of 9 in handicap at this course (12.1f) 16 days ago, slowly away. Not easy to make a case for.

10/3

C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. Good second of 12 in handicap back at that course (9.5f, 3/1) 8 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.

Berkshire Phantom¹⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: O McSweeney| T: Fionn McSharry| OR: 58| C

11/1

Course winner. Latest win at Redcar in July. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, soft, 17/2). Off 101 days and will probably find a few too good on this occasion.

Form: 314634

Extrication^h¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: R Bandey| OR: 57

28/1

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Roger Teal when sixth of 8 in handicap (3/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 11 days ago. Looks vulnerable, for all that he has slipped to a dangerous mark.

Top Of Pleinmont⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: P D Evans| OR: 59

8/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in October. Creditable sixth of 10 in handicap (10/3) at this course (14.1f) 59 days ago. Down in trip and will need to raise his game in order to bag this prize.

50/1

28/1, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and looks set for another struggle.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Joanna Mason| T: M Walford| OR: 55| BF| D

9/2

One win from 25 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 19 days ago, not much room. Can make presence felt.

Form: 280556

12/1

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (3/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 13 days ago. Hood back on and he's in with an each-way shout.

Forecasts

Mr Nugget (10/3), Stipulation (4/1), Whatacracker (9/2), King Chaos (5/1), Top Of Pleinmont (8/1), Spec Of Light (17/2), Berkshire Phantom (11/1), Knight Of Magic (12/1), Busby (28/1), Extrication (28/1), Bizarre Law (50/1), Broadstone (66/1), Stoneacre (66/1)

MR NUGGET has been in good form since undergoing a wind operation during the summer and went close to notching a third success of 2025 when going down by a whisker at Wolverhampton recently. He may have most to fear from Whatacracker, who wasn't seen to best effect last time and is lurking on an attractive mark. King Chaos, Knight of Magic and Spec of Light are others for the shortlist.
