9/1

Consistent last year and returned to his very best to score in some style on the Rowley Mile in May. Struggled back up in grade in a big-field Epsom handicap (8.5f) 2 weeks ago but return to this slightly lesser level a plus but he's yet to defy a mark this high.

9/2

Proved a different proposition allowed to bowl along at this shorter trip when scoring on the Rowley Mile course in May. However, hit with a 9 lb rise on the back of that and he weakened quickly when tenth at Newbury (1m) 5 weeks ago. Others more persuasive.

28/1

Put best foot forward to resume winning ways at Lingfield (1m) in April and ran creditably on 2 of his 3 starts on turf since whilst essentially looking in the grip of the handicapper.

16/1

Two 7f wins for Denis Quinn last spring but ended his time with that yard out of sorts and not yet threatened in 2 outings following a breathing operation for present stable this year. Visor now reached for.

Form: 1158-87

Spell Master¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Jonny Peate| T: Oli Rix| OR: 89

12/1

Ended a light 2025 campaign with success at Newcastle (7f) in October. Changed hands for 150,000 gns thereafter and shaped as if better for the run after 8 months off (also gelded) when eighth at Doncaster (7f) 2 weeks ago. This can reveal more on first crack at 1m.

Exposure²⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 88| D

16/1

Ex-French gelding who ran to a useful level when winning twice at 1m, latterly at Lyon-Parilly 12 months ago. Far from discredited on 3 of his 4 starts thereafter and it'll be interesting to see where he figures in the betting on handicap debut starting out for new yard.

Stem¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Alec Voikhansky| T: R Hannon| OR: 87

5/1

Successful only start at 2 yrs and runner-up on 3 of his 4 starts last season, shaping with abundant promise when second at Newbury (1m, soft) in September. Not disgraced on return and seemed all at sea on the track at Epsom a fortnight ago. Worth another chance given strength of 3-y-o form.

Form: 3022-90

Mythical Guest⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Olivia Haines⁽⁷⁾| T: G G Margarson| OR: 84

33/1

Is on a long losing run but was placed 7 times in 2025. However, he's been operating some way below his best in finishing nearer last than first both outings so far this campaign.

Fort Rock^p1⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Zac Lloyd| T: C Appleby| OR: 90

3/1

Wootton Bassett colt who was a narrow winner of a pair of 7f Kempton novices last autumn and made a bright return despite lingering inexperience when third on handicap debut on the Rowley Mile course 7 weeks ago. That form has been boosted and he's interesting in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 11-3

Synners Kid^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: Henry Dwyer| OR: 89| D

6/1

Ended his time for Joseph O'Brien with a pair of 1m nursery wins in the mud in Ireland last autumn. Mid-field in a couple of handicaps last month and probably needs respite from the assessor.

Form: 0911-66

Elan D'or⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Gilligan| T: S C Williams| OR: 89| D

12/1

Ended 2025 with a pair of all-weather handicap wins at up to 1m. Mark rose considerably as a result but shaped as if retaining all his ability when fifth on return on the Rowley Mile in May. Likely he can sharpen up for that.

Form: 02211-5

Loz Vegas³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 88| D

25/1

Improved to win a small-field renewal of a typically strong maiden at Sandown (1m) last summer. Lightly raced since, off 7 months/gelded prior to never threatening on handicap debut at Newbury (1m) 5 weeks ago. This promises to reveal more.

Form: 0158-6

Magnatura³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: T Ward| OR: 84

14/1

Found further progress when ending 2025 with success at Goodwood (7f) in October and did best of those lacking a recent run when fourth on last month's Newbury reappearance. May do better again given low-mileage profile but 1¼m may suit ideally.

Fort Rock (3/1), Spanish Voice (9/2), Stem (5/1), Synners Kid (6/1), Release The Storm (8/1), Sterling Knight (9/1), Arctic Thunder (10/1), Spell Master (12/1), Elan D'or (12/1), Magnatura (14/1), Exposure (16/1), Dark Tornado (16/1), Loz Vegas (25/1), Angel Hunter (28/1), Mythical Guest (33/1)

Unbeaten in 2 starts as a juvenile, FORT ROCK ran well despite showing signs of lingering greenness when third on return here 7 weeks ago. That form has been well advertised since and he can prove his mark an exploitable one now equipped with first-time cheekpieces. Stem looked all at sea on the track at Epsom 2 weeks ago but his 3-y-o form is an ongoing recommendation and he can bounce back, with Spell Master and Exposure another pair to note.
