Arisaig¹⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: J P Spencer| T: C Johnston| OR: 101| D

8/1

Useful filly who ran well when third in the Celebration Mile at Goodwood in August. Unsuited by the way the race developed when down the field in the Balmoral Handicap there on final outing and drops in grade on his return to action.

Form: 025330-

Tycoon¹³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rowan Scott| T: K P De Foy| OR: 94

10/1

Purchased for £600,000 after finishing third in a Goodwood listed race last May and made an encouraging enough start for his new yard (formerly with John & Thady Gosden) at York in September. Not so good at Chelmsford on final start but it remains early days for current connections.

Form: 3/13867-

Real Gain¹⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: James Doyle| T: H Al Jehani| OR: 92| C| D

5/1

Course winner who returned with a fine effort when third of 15 in the Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood but below form on both outings since, markedly so at Kempton latest. Since left Richard Hughes and current mart certainly workable if he can get back on track.

Form: 009/300-

Mister Winston¹⁹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 92| D

7/2

Churchill colt who confirmed the promise of his handicap debut when resuming winning ways in 1m handicap on the July Course in August. Shaped better than the result at Goodwood prior to disappointing in Cambridgeshire Handicap here on final outing. Gelded since.

Form: 214140-

Esherann^t1²⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 92| D

7/1

Made third start a winning one in 1m Naas maiden in June and quickly resumed progress/winning ways fitted with more severe headgear (left off here) in 1m handicap at the Curragh on final outing in August. Subsequently sold out of Dermot Weld's yard for €95,000.

Christian David^b¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 91| D

12/1

Returned from a 9-month absence to win at Newbury (7f, soft) last autumn and back on the up when leading close home at Lingfield (7f again) in December. Showed the benefit of a recent run to finish mid-field in the Lincoln on most recent outing and this represents a slight drop in grade.

Form: 1601-09

Bopedro^p¹⁶⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 91| BF| CD

8/1

Winless since scoring on the July Course in 2023 but countless good efforts in defeat to his name since, including when third in 30-runner Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot last year. Shaped as if amiss over C&D on final outing and may just need this first run of the season given his age.

Form: 294460-

Great Chieftain^b⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: W Buick| T: Oliver Cole| OR: 89| CD

5/2

Proved better than when recording back-to-back handicap wins last May. Lightly raced since but stepped up on his recent run when fifth of 16 in 1m handicap at Meydan in January and has to be of interest back at this venue.

Form: 1157-85

(7)

Sterling Knight¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Cieren Fallon| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 88| D

12/1

Gained reward for his consistency in 2025 when bagging 7f handicap at Doncaster in July but has returned with a pair of below-par efforts this year, merely passing beaten rivals back at aforementioned track on latest start. Has something to prove now.

Form: 6240-60

(1)

Mythical Guest¹⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: G G Margarson| OR: 86| C

15/2

Is on a long losing run but was placed 7 times in 2025, including in a C&D handicap on final outing in November. Capable fresh so expected to go well on this return to action.

Form: 544823-

Forecasts

Great Chieftain (3/1), Mister Winston (9/2), Real Gain (6/1), Mythical Guest (7/1), Bopedro (8/1), Esherann (8/1), Sterling Knight (12/1), Arisaig (12/1), Tycoon (12/1), Christian David (16/1)

A trappy handicap to conclude the card with the tentative vote going to GREAT CHIEFTAIN, who's back down to his last successful mark and goes very well over C&D. Mythical Guest hasn't won for a long time but tends to give his running more often than not and is also capable fresh, with the class-dropping Arisaig completing the shortlist.
