Royal Zabeel49
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: M Appleby| OR:  103| D
5-y-o who boasts a fine record on all-weather, proving better than ever when registering a second success in listed company at Southwell (6f) in November. Never figured tackling dirt for first time in Saudi Arabia in February and whilst effective on turf, he wouldn't want the rain to arrive.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-8| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR:  102| D
Form proved up and down in 2025 but returned to form from out of the blue to end last season with success in a big-field handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy) in November. Some way below on Kempton reappearance last month but he's won second time up twice previously.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-8| J: James Doyle| T: H Al Jehani| OR:  102
Smart performer who looked a shade unlucky not to resume winning ways in first-time cheekpieces at Doncaster (7f, heavy) in October. Not in same form when fourth in French listed race in November but interesting runner from this mark back in handicap from this mark.

Al Arbeed7
Age: 4|  Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR:  93| D
Debut maiden winner on all-weather 13 months ago and progressive form in defeat next 3 starts, latterly when fourth on handicap debut at Southwell (1m) in October. Left firm impression he'd come on plenty for last month's reappearance sixth at Kempton and he's of interest.

Age: 9|  Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Hart| T: K Scott| OR:  90| CD
Bagged this prize twice previously and finished a very good second off ths mark 12 months ago. Largely run with credit thereafter and made it C&D win number 5 on final outing in November, just holding on. Likely to give another good account for all his draw in 10 makes things tricky.

Goldmoynep15
Age: 6|  Weight: 8-8| J: Cieren Fallon| T: James Owen| OR:  88| D
Has gone from strength-to-strength equipped with cheekpieces on all-weather since joining James Owen, taking his form up another notch when bringing up the 4-timer at Lingfield (1m) 2 weeks ago. Effective on turf so certainly not ruled out from this 2 lb higher mark.

Persuasion30
Age: 9|  Weight: 8-6| J: Saffie Osborne| T: T D Barron| OR:  86| CD
Took this race from a 1 lb higher mark 12 months ago and similar form when second at Haydock (7f) in September. Form either side of that effort was up and down but he ought to come forward from last month's reappearance seventh at Newcastle.

Jannas Journey161
Age: 5|  Weight: 8-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: J S Goldie| OR:  85| CD
C&D winner who had a tremendous 2025 for present yard, gaining a seventh success since July at Ayr in September. Held her own from marks in mid 80's prior to seemingly finding testing conditions too much at Newbury on final start. Resumes with yard in good form.

Bellarchi15
Age: 5|  Weight: 8-4| J: A Mullen| T: Grant Tuer| OR:  83| CD
Landed a C&D fillies handicap in October but ended last term with a trio of disappointing efforts on turf/all-weather. Left poorly placed and probably needed last month's Wolverhampton return and she's well drawn if stepping up on that effort.

A War Eagle193
Age: 4|  Weight: 8-4| J: Shay Farmer(7)| T: M & D Easterby| OR:  82| D
Positive start in handicaps last season, off the mark at Beverly (7.4f) prior to pair of solid runner-up efforts at Hamilton/Kempton. Possibly amiss when last of 13 at Beverley on final outing and interesting what the market makes of him starting out for new stable up in grade.

Forecasts

Midnight Gun (5/2), Al Arbeed (5/1), Gweedore (6/1), Persuasion (8/1), A War Eagle (8/1), Goldmoyne (8/1), Golden Mind (12/1), Royal Zabeel (12/1), Bellarchi (14/1), Jannas Journey (16/1)

Verdict

MIDNIGHT GUN remains relatively low-mileage for a 5-y-o and highlighted there are races to be won with him from this sort of mark during a light 2025 campaign. He could well be the answer on this return from 5 months off, with Al Arbeed fancied to pose the chief threat given he's the type to do better as a 4-y-o. Golden Mind is another to consider from a handy draw.
