Ended turf season in fine heart, making the frame in 4 consecutive handicaps. Given a considerate return when eighth in 6f Newcastle handicap last month. This C&D winner merits serious consideration.

Forecasts

Trilby (11/4), Aberama Gold (9/2), Miraculous (6/1), The Good Biscuit (7/1), Valley Ofthe Kings (7/1), Secret Guest (15/2), Francisco's Piece (12/1), Sir Garfield (14/1), Kats Bob (14/1)

Verdict

TRILBY is fancied to build on a considerate reappearance at Newcastle last month and capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Fellow C&D scorer The Good Biscuit ended 2025 in top form and heads the list of dangers in his hat-trick bid. Valley Ofthe Kings and Kats Bob are also in the mix in this open sprint.

  1. Trilby11/4
  2. The Good Biscuit7/1
  3. Valley Ofthe Kings7/1
