Zgharta^h²¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 89

10/3

Ghaiyyath filly who progressed in handicaps in last season after landing 1¼m Newmarket maiden in May. Suffered a very poor run when eleventh in listed race at Saint-Cloud (1m) final run. Sort to improve again in 2026.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Billy Loughnane| T: W J Haggas| OR: 89| BF| D

9/1

Ghaiyyath filly who looked a good prospect when making a winning debut in Yarmouth maiden in October 2024. Eighth in Sandown Group 3 in August but only fifth when odds-on for Newcastle novice final run. Could still do better now going handicapping.

Form: 1/85-

Radiant Beauty⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: James Doyle| T: James Owen| OR: 87| D

7/2

Progressed well when a four-time winner (around 7f/1m) in 2025. Resumed from 6 months off with a good sixth of 11 in listed race at Kempton (1m) 42 days ago. Not out of things back in handicap company.

Form: 14113-6

14/1

Improving Night Of Thunder filly who bagged a third success in 1m handicap at Lingfield and signed off for Simon & Ed Crisford with a very good third of 10 at Southwell (1m) later in November. Can't be discounted for her new yard after a break.

Song N Dance³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: S Woods| OR: 84| D

15/2

Ended 2025 with back-to-back 7f/1m wins Leicester and Newcastle. Took another step forward from a 7 Ib higher mark when a strong-travelling second of 6 at Southwell (1m) on her return last month. Weighted to go close nudged up 2 lb.

Form: 36211-2

Jannas Journey²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 81| D

20/1

Winner of 7 races in a remarkable 2-month spell last summer. Yet to fire in a pair of 7f/1m Musselburgh handicaps this spring, but not best drawn when ninth on latter occasion and her mark is easing.

Form: 3629-09

Quamby¹⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: D M Simcock| OR: 80

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden who took a step forward on her handicap bow when third of 9 at Lingfield (1¼m) in December. No forlorn hope off the same mark.

Form: 85/233-

(4)

Deedaydiva²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S M Levey| T: A King| OR: 88

6/1

Ready winner of 7f Sandown maiden last August and reappeared with a good third of 12 in 1m novice at Nottingham 21 days ago. Could have more to offer now going handicapping for her in-form handler.

Form: 31-3

Politely²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Saffie Osborne| T: M Meade| OR: 86| D

17/2

Little show at 2yrs but a different model this spring with impressive all-weather wins (around 1m) in Lingfield maiden and Wolverhampton handicap. Sort to go on improving so she's not taken lightly back on turf in her hat-trick bid.

Form: 95-11

Forecasts

Zgharta (10/3), Radiant Beauty (7/2), Deedaydiva (6/1), Song N Dance (15/2), Politely (17/2), Alobayyah (9/1), Quamby (12/1), Bella Perla (14/1), Electrifarhh (14/1), Jannas Journey (20/1)

It's hard to rule out any of these but SONG N DANCE impressed on her return when a sweet-travelling runner-up at Southwell and this progressive filly edges the vote from the hat-trick seeking Politely. Both Zgharta and Deedaydiva could have more to offer in 2026 and need considering too.
