Fast Track Harry^t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: C G Cox| OR: 99| D

4/1

Is going the right way and arrives on a hat-trick after bagging 6f handicaps at Lingfield and Newcastle recently. Up 4 lb but this strong-travelling sort is not taken lightly.

Form: 1270-11

Brian¹¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Taylor Fisher| T: J S Moore| OR: 95| D

40/1

Useful at his best but he ended 2025 below par, only seventh of 8 in 1m listed race here in December. More is needed after a break.

Form: 095297-

Knebworth^b²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 93| D

12/1

Ended 2025 out of form but better than ever this winter, scoring at Chelmsford City before following up in 6f Wolverhampton handicap three weeks ago. Can go well again despite having a career-high mark to overcome.

Form: 2060-11

(2)

Durham Castle^t²⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 93| D

5/2

Lightly-raced 5-y-o who readily resumed winning ways in 6f handicap at Windsor last June. Off since but yard is among the winners.

Form: 7311/71-

Tuco Salamanca^t¹⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 92| C| D

7/2

Enjoyed an excellent 2025 when a five-time winner (from 6f to 8.5f). Also scored on his seasonal return here so he is one to consider after 176 days off.

Form: 381159-

Change Sings²²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 86| CD

9/2

Dual C&D winner who largely ran well in 2025, including when third in this event on her reappearance. Can race off a 1 lb lower mark here so he's not without interest.

Form: 624670-

(7)

Wild Clary¹⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 82| D

7/1

Progressive type who ended 2025 with a good second of 12 in 6f handicap at Haydock in September when not enjoying a clear run under 2f out. Merits consideration.

Form: 321322-

Stanley Spencer^b²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Watson| T: J Tate| OR: 82| CD

28/1

C&D winner who got back on track in first-time blinkers when a close third of 8 over C&D 24 days ago. Needs considering nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 42-7863

Fleetwater¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: D Egan| T: J S Moore| OR: 82| D

33/1

Back on song after 5 months off when second of 7 in 6f handicap at Southwell 15 days ago. In the mix off an unchanged mark.

Form: 80270-2

Seraphim Angel²⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 82| D

125/1

Improved when bagging 6f Windsor handicap last July on her final run for Tom Dascombe. Changed hands for 19,000gns subsequently and needs to hit the ground running after 8 months off.

Form: 0/54041-

(8)

City Cyclone²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: J F Egan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 79| CD

28/1

Better than ever in 2026 and completed a hat-trick in 7-runner handicap over C&D 24 days ago. Helped by being held up in strongly-run race there but still in the picture.

Form: 303-111

Forecasts

Durham Castle (5/2), Tuco Salamanca (7/2), Fast Track Harry (4/1), Change Sings (9/2), Wild Clary (7/1), Knebworth (12/1), City Cyclone (28/1), Stanley Spencer (28/1), Fleetwater (33/1), Brian (40/1), Seraphim Angel (125/1)

This is wide open so at the likely odds it is worth siding with CHANGE SINGS, who ran well when third in this event 12 months ago, to capitalise on a handy-looking mark and garner a third C&D success. Clive Cox's upwardly-mobile Fast Track Harry heads the list of dangers, while Wild Clary, Knebworth, Tuco Salamanca and City Cyclone all need factoring in too.
