Fast Fred^p¹⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 70| CD

7/2

C&D winner who proved consistent in 2025, signing off with a solid sixth of 13 in handicap at Chester (14.4f) in September. Needs to hit the ground running on his return, though.

Tee Aitch Aye¹²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 68

11/2

Got off the mark at Hamilton (9f) in September and in good form after, fading only late on when fifth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, soft) in November. Not out of things with his yard going well.

Form: 485135-

Clansman²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 66| D

11/2

Winless since early 2024 but comes here on the back of respectable placed efforts from reduced mark, latterly when runner-up at Newcastle (16.2f) 25 days ago. In the mix reverted in trip.

Form: 5450-32

Jack Sparowe¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: J Butler| OR: 64

11/2

It's now 17 runs since his last win in 2023 but back in form of late, outpaced late back at 1m when fifth of 8 in handicap here 16 days ago. Firmly in the picture.

Form: 22-9935

Golspie^p⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: P Morris| OR: 64| C

5/2

Course winner who got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when second of 7 in C&D handicap 6 days ago. Weighted to go well eased 1 lb with headgear retained.

Form: 255652

Bouboule^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Sean Kirrane| T: G Boanas| OR: 60

10/1

Runner-up over C&D in January before a below-form fifth over hurdles at Musselburgh 25 days ago. Should still make his presence felt back in this sphere.

Form: 53328-2

Bruce Banner^v1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: R Menzies| OR: 57| CD

16/1

Made a winning start for Rebecca Menzies over C&D last April but below par since aside from a 2m hurdles victory at Musselburgh in November. Others appeal more.

Form: 315587-

Desert Quest²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Greg Fairley| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 51| CD

33/1

C&D winner who looked rusty after 18 months off when last of 9 in handicap over C&D 25 days ago. Needs to take a major step forward.

Forecasts

Jodhpur Blue (2/1), Golspie (5/2), Fast Fred (7/2), Clansman (11/2), Jack Sparowe (11/2), Tee Aitch Aye (11/2), Latin (8/1), Bouboule (10/1), Bruce Banner (16/1), Desert Quest (33/1)

Lots with chances but GOLSPIE rates the pick at the weights on the back of a resurgent C&D second and can go one better off a 1 lb lower mark. Latin could emerge as the main danger on his first go over 1m4f ahead of Jodhpur Blue and Jack Sparrow.
