Monotone^t,p⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 65| D

28/1

Well held on all starts since joining Antony Brittain. Would need to see market support to consider back from a 10-week break.

Form: 00089-9

(10)

Sergeant Mayer¹⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 64| D

Two 5f turf wins last May. Back on a workable mark and claims if ready to roll after 168 days off.

Form: 534448-

Harb²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 64| D

15/2

Back to winning ways at Newcastle (5f) in February. Creditable fourth next time but below par over 6f at Newcastle latest. Successful on turf off this mark last year.

Form: 4-35147

(4)

Jojo Rabbit¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 63| D

12/1

Eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5f, 16/1) on reappearance 18 days ago. Should be sharper now.

Form: 97077-8

(14)

Ganesha⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 62| D

10/1

Ended 2025 with a pair of runner-up efforts at Newcastle but down the field there on all 3 outings this year. It remains to be seen whether a return to turf sparks a revival.

Form: 422-790

(1)

Iris Dancer¹⁶²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Lexie Clarkson⁽⁷⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 62

20/1

Hamilton specialist who added 3 more wins there last year. Off 162 days. No great record fresh and probably best watched this time.

Form: 307709-

(9)

Get Up Everybody¹⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 62WS

6/1

Placed 3 times in sprint handicaps in the second half of 2025. Has had a breathing operation ahead of this first start for 6 months. Still lightly raced as sprinters go.

Form: 453283-

(3)

Wrestling Revenue⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 61| CD

9/1

C&D winner on soft last autumn but beaten only a couple home in 2 outings since. Off 10 weeks. Needs a return to Pontefract to spark a revival.

Form: 39019-0

(11)

Lucius Aurelius^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 60

4/1

Didn't shape too badly when fifth on Newcastle reappearance and can have a line put through his subsequent Southwell run (hampered). Went close off higher marks on turf last spring.

Form: 3056-59

(12)

Mu Mu Land^p¹²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 60WS

10/1

All-weather maiden winner but also effective on turf. Respectable fourth at Chelmsford (6f) when last seen in December. Has had a breathing operation ahead of reappearance.

Form: 853054-

(13)

Pinjarra^b²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 60

8/1

Prominent racer who bounced back to his best to win at Chelmsford (6f) in February. Well beaten at Southwell since but the yard did win this race last year.

Form: 712-518

(2)

Kitaab¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Aiden Brookes| T: P A Kirby| OR: 59

8/1

Only the odd bit of encouragement on all-weather since returning from a year off. Best watched unless the betting speaks in his favour.

Form: 7-98406

(6)

Canaria Queen^p¹⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 56| D

8/1

Three wins in a productive 2025. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft) final start. Could go well if fully primed after 161 days off.

Form: 712524-

(5)

Masterclass^b¹³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 52| D

14/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2025. 33/1, bit below form when eighth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) in November. Back down in trip after 138 days off. Blinkers are also back on. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 720638-

Forecasts

Lucius Aurelius (6/1), Canaria Queen (7/1), Get Up Everybody (7/1), Harb (8/1), Ganesha (8/1), Pinjarra (8/1), Sergeant Mayer (8/1), Kitaab (12/1), Wrestling Revenue (12/1), Mu Mu Land (12/1), Jojo Rabbit (14/1), Masterclass (14/1), Iris Dancer (16/1), Monotone (33/1)

LUCIUS AURELIUS can have his latest run ignored and might be worth chancing from what is a good mark based on his turf form last spring. Canaria Queen was runner-up twice off an identical rating last autumn and can go well if ready to roll on her reappearance. Get Up Everybody has fewer convictions than most of these and could also have a say on his first outing since a breathing operation.
