Michaela's Boy40
Age: 6|  Weight: 9-10| J: L Morris| T: R M H Cowell| OR:  86| CD
Justified good support when scoring at Lingfield (5f) in January and went close over the same C&D later that month. Found run of good form coming to a halt here last time but couldn't rule out now eased in grade.

Tan Rapido177
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley| T: C Fellowes| OR:  83| CD
Successful off a similar mark over C&D last summer and followed that with a fine second at Yarmouth. Ended 2025 with a lesser effort at Leicester but his record on the all-weather is solid and he will have every chance if ready to roll.

Almaty Starv24
Age: 6|  Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: R M H Cowell| OR:  79| CD
Consistent handicapper who has made the frame on each of his last 6 starts, most recently finding just one 1 too good in a first-time visor (retained) at Wolverhampton (5f) last month. Entitled to be on the premises once again.

Nogo's Dreamp41
Age: 6|  Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Loughnane| T: R Hughes| OR:  77| CD
Successful 3 times over 5f last year before his old quirks resurfaced. Has acquitted himself well both starts since returning from a break in February but others make more appeal all the same.

Age: 6|  Weight: 9-0| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR:  76| CD
Dual C&D winner in 2023 and back on the scoresheet at Lingfield in November. Just respectable efforts since, though, and he's likely to find a few too strong.

Golden Longt41
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-0| J: J F Egan| T: Lemos Souza| OR:  76| BF
Winner in Hong Kong and shaped really well for new yard following a 14-month absence when fifth in an 11-runner Southwell handicap (5f) in February. 1 lb lower here and he's high on the shortlist.

General Assembly35
Age: 5|  Weight: 8-10| J: D Egan| T: C Hobson| OR:  72| CD
Recorded back-to-back C&D wins during the autumn and has returned to form the last twice, finishing second in handicaps at Wolverhampton and this course. Needs considering.

Forecasts

Almaty Star (3/1), Michaela's Boy (4/1), Nogo's Dream (9/2), Golden Long (5/1), General Assembly (7/1), Tan Rapido (8/1), Diomed Spirit (8/1)

Verdict

GOLDEN LONG was an eye-catcher on debut on these shores at Southwell where he put in good late work without being unduly punished. The 6-y-o is entitled to come on for that and he shades preference ahead of Tan Rapido and the consistent Almaty Star.
