Mount Ruapehu⁵^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 60| BF| D

7/2

Cosily made it 3 wins in 5 runs since joining Iain Jardine in 10-runner handicap at Southwell (6f) 5 days ago. Saddles a 5 lb penalty but not taken lightly.

Form: 541131

Midnight Lir²¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 64| CD

17/2

C&D winner but it's now eighteen runs since that win in 2023 and only twelfth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 7 months ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Digital^p³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 64| CD

12/1

Dual 5f winner at Newcastle early in 2026 but well below form of late, only ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 31 days ago. Yard is going well though and this C&D winner is handily weighted if back on his A-game.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 60| CD

7/1

On a long losing run but not seen to best effect when fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 20 days ago. More is still needed from this C&D winner though.

Form: 22-7905

Thunderstorm Katie¹⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 60| CD

12/1

Scored (over 5f) at Musselburgh and Newcastle in October but below par since, only ninth of 11 to Digital back at Newcastle (5f) in January. This C&D winner needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 41168-9

King Of The Jungle²⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 55| D

16/1

On a losing sequence but he wasn't best placed when fifth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (6f) in July. Off since but has a good record when fresh so not out of things.

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: B Haslam| OR: 48| BF| CD

9/2

C&D winner who comes here in decent nick for his new yard, fifth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (5f) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on now and not discounted.

Form: 648625

Doon The Glen¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-6| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 47

Form: 41-0820

Sixcor^p²⁰²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-4| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 45| CD

40/1

C&D winner but he ended 2025 below form, eighth of 14 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f) in October. Needs to hit the ground running after 6 months off.

Forecasts

Mount Ruapehu (7/2), Sir Benedict (9/2), Hi Lord (13/2), Ganesha (7/1), Midnight Lir (17/2), Opal Storm (17/2), Doon The Glen (11/1), Thunderstorm Katie (12/1), Digital (12/1), King Of The Jungle (16/1), Until Dawn (18/1), Colour Code (25/1), Sixcor (40/1)

MOUNT RUAPEHU hasn't looked back since joining Iain Jardine and is fancied to make light of a 5 lb penalty for his latest cosy Southwell success and garner a fourth victory for the yard. King of The Jungle goes well fresh and could emerge as the main danger ahead of Digital and Sir Benedict.
