Verdict

A competitive sprint handicap. WHEELS OF FIRE wasn't seen to best effect on his final 3 outings last season and remains feasibly treated on the pick of his form, so he looks interesting returning to all-weather given he's unexposed on the surface. Power Fizz strikes as the sort who could have more to offer in 2026 and is second choice, with Hockney and Wicket Keeper completing the shortlist.
