2/1
Slow start for new yard but has clicked last 3 starts, going close in handicaps at Chelmsford and Catterick either side of a solid third at Wolverhampton during the Christmas period. Remains on an attractive mark and she makes plenty of appeal.

3/1
Won 3 times over 6f during 2025 and placed on several occasions at Newcastle in recent months, including when finding just one too good there on penultimate start. Always on the back following a slow start here last time and should be in the mix if more alert at the gates on this occasion.

Now 5 lb below the mark of his latest success but that was back in February 2025 and recent efforts have not suggested that a return to winning ways is imminent.

12/1
Barely beat a rival home on first 4 starts for this yard but much more like it when third of 8 at Wolverhampton (6f) recently. Couldn't be 100% certain that he'll build on that but will have a real chance off this mark if able to do so.

Still seeking a first career win (record stands at 0-21) but arrives here on the back of creditable efforts in defeat at Kempton and Wolverhampton. Likely to be on the premises once more.

Pair of 6f Wolverhampton wins last month and went close at Newcastle on Monday. Clearly in good nick and this 8-y-o has to enter calculations.

Forecasts

Moostar (2/1), Raft Up (3/1), Fircombe Hall (3/1), Valsharah (6/1), Blackjack (11/1), Megaphone (12/1)

Verdict

MOOSTAR has been knocking firmly on the door of late and she is taken to deservedly open her account for the James Owen yard. She may have most to fear from Fircombe Hall, who has also been in good form in recent months, while Raft Up should have a part to play in the finish, too.
