Fair form in a handful of starts for Ralph Beckett and made a reasonable start for his new stable when fifth of 8 in 1½m Southwell handicap 20 days ago. His unexposed profile provides hope that he can build on that now stepping up in trip again. Gets the vote.

Course winner over 2m in December. Creditable second of 5 here (2m again) 3 weeks ago. Likely to be on the premises again.

Course winner last spring but has drawn a blank in his 12 outings since. Finished last of 6 at Southwell 3 weeks ago and it's likely best to look elsewhere.

C&D winner on reappearance in January. Not in anything like the same form at Newcastle 10 days later but it's possible that outing simply came too soon. Freshened up since and Billy Loughnane has been booked. Shortlisted.

Completed a 1½m hat-trick in January/February (first leg here). Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (1½m) 20 days ago. No reason why he won't give his running again.

Course winner who ended 2025 with a pair of good placed efforts in November. Likely to be competitive if resuming in similar form.

The last of his 4 wins in 2025 came over 2m here in December. Plenty of creditable efforts in a busy spell since, including third of 10 at Newcastle (2m) 20 days ago.

Won 1½m classified event here in January, her sole success from 21 starts. Weakened quickly when fifth of 6 in a handicap back here just 3 days later and was subsequently found to have bled.

Three-time winner this winter, including over C&D last month. Bit below par when only fifth of 10 at Southwell on Saturday but no shock were he to bounce straight back given who trains him.

Forecasts

Tuba (2/1), V Power (10/3), Shipshape (15/2), Knight Of Magic (15/2), Havachoc (9/1), Billy Bathgate (11/1), Three Yorkshiremen (11/1), Educate (16/1), Fashionelle (25/1), Ice Opera (25/1)

Verdict

SHIPSHAPE has fewer convictions than the majority of these and might be worth siding with to build on a mildly encouraging first run for Bernard Llewellyn at Southwell 3 weeks ago. There was a possible excuse for V Power last time and he's respected back at the scene of January's win. Tuba and Havachoc are others likely to be on the premises.
