Badri¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: Jason Hart| T: M Herrington| OR: 87| D

9/1

On a losing run but this reliable veteran wasn't seen to ideal effect when sixth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (6f) 14 days ago, finishing well having been hampered over 1f out. Enters calculations.

Form: 4-27406

Artagnan^t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Faleh Bugheniam| T: H Al Jehani| OR: 86| D

15/8

Scored at Chelmsford (6f) in October. Has resumed in very good nick, runner-up at Wolverhampton before short of room entering last 1f when fourth of 17 in handicap at Ascot (5f) 24 days ago. Merits serious consideration back up in trip.

Form: 6613-24

Winged Messenger^h²⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 84| D

3/1

Enjoyed a fine 2025 when a 3-time winner, signing off with success in Ayr Bronze Cup (6f) in September. Appeals as the sort to kick on again this season so not out of things.

Form: 212131-

Novamay¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 82| D

18/1

Much improved in 2025 and she completed a hat-trick at Windsor (6f) last July. Lost ground start when last of 9 on her return in handicap at Ripon (6f) 17 days ago but no surprise to see her bounce back here.

Form: 11104-9

Tinto²⁶⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 82| CD

25/1

C&D winner but he ended 2025 under a cloud, failing to beat a rival in a pair of handicaps at Thirsk on his last 2 runs. This veteran needs to take a major step forward.

Wobwobwob⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Mikey Sheehy| T: A Keatley| OR: 81| D

20/1

Runner-up 3 times last season but it's now sixteen runs since his last win in 2024. Found drop to 5f on sharp side when twelfth of 13 at Pontefract on his return and should strip sharper here.

Form: 22920-0

Archduke Ferdinand^p²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 79| CD

4/1

Captured this prize a year ago. Shaped as if still in need of the run when eighth of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f) last month and no surprise to see him make his presence felt off a falling mark.

Form: 0075-98

Bravo Zulu^b¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Laura Pearson| T: D Loughnane| OR: 76

16/1

Won 4 times at around 1m last season but has been hit and miss in 2026, though did too much too soon when fifth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7f) 16 days ago.

Form: 956285

Paws For Thought¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 76| D

16/1

Gained a sixth course win at Chester in September but ended 2025 on a low note and only eleventh of 12 in 6f handicap there on his return 17 days ago.

Form: 73109-0

Dicko The Legend¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 70| D

8/1

Won at Wolverhampton/York (6f) last season. Unlucky not to score when beaten a short head after a troubled passage at Southwell in April but a below-par ninth at Ascot (6f) last time. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 04-7529

(3)

Sugar Baby²³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Niven| OR: 69| CD

14/1

A 4-time winner in 2025 (including over C&D). Looked in need of the run after 5 months off when a fading eighth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (6f) 23 days ago. Can build on it here.

Form: 60127-8

(9)

Dorney Lake²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: Mark Winn| T: L Bailey| OR: 68| D

12/1

On a losing run and he was retried in a hood when last of 6 in handicap at Wetherby 29 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Form: 599356

Forecasts

Winged Messenger (3/1), Artagnan (7/2), Badri (6/1), Dicko The Legend (10/1), Bravo Zulu (10/1), Dorney Lake (12/1), Wobwobwob (12/1), Archduke Ferdinand (12/1), Tinto (14/1), Sugar Baby (16/1), Paws For Thought (20/1), Novamay (20/1)

ARTAGNAN signalled he is ready to strike again when running on into fourth after an interrupted passage over 5f at Ascot last time and gets the nod back at this trip now. Last year's victor Archduke Ferdinand looks primed for a bold showing and rates the main threat with the returning Winged Messenger and veteran Badri also in the picture.
