7/1

Pair of course wins last summer, including his fourth C&D success on the first occasion. Ended 2025 out of form and well held first 2 starts this season, but showed a bit more when sixth of 10 at Ayr 22 days ago. Not ruled out back down in grade here.

Jujubella^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: K Stott| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 66

7/4

4-time winner in first part of last year. Has been working her way back to form this season, travelling strongly when runner-up at Newcastle (12.4f) 2 weeks ago. Can make her presence felt from 5 lb below last winning mark.

Ibn Altheeb^b³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 67

8/1

In first-time cheekpieces when opening account at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in October. Below form next 3 starts (left David Loughnane after final 2025 outing) but switched to blinkers he fared better when third at Carlisle (9f) last month. Task is now to back up latest effort.

Form: 317-603

Mr Moonshine³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: O McSweeney| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64

13/2

Best effort at 2 yrs when going close on handicap debut at Thirsk (1m), hitting top gear a bit too late. Looked rusty after 9 months off (gelded) when mid-field at Carlisle (9f) in June and step up in trip promises to suit.

Clocker³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: E Bethell| OR: 62

6/1

Modest form in her qualifying runs but is bred for longer trips and found even 9f a barely adequate test when sixth of 10 on handicap debut at Carlisle last month. Yard going well and she remains capable of better as she goes further up in distance.

Form: 56-46

Port Darwin¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Connor Beasley| T: C Johnston| OR: 61| C

3/1

Doubled his tally at this course (9f) in June, before unsuited by the emphasis on speed when fifth of 6 at Musselburgh 5 days later. Back up in trip but will need to find more in this contest.

CLOCKER shaped as if the step up to 9f wasn't enough on her handicap debut at Carlisle last time, so she could yet have a bigger performance in her over this extra distance. She is taken to get the better of Jujubella, who has shown better signs of late from her reduced mark, with Mr Moonshine also considered up in trip.
