Forecasts

Sea Force (15/8), Noche Clasica (7/2), Thunder Wonder (7/1), James McHenry (9/1), Impartiality (10/1), Mirsky (11/1), Sir Paul Ramsey (11/1), Per Contra (18/1), Flying Fletcher (25/1), Dwindling Funds (28/1), Saint Etienne (28/1), Redarna (80/1)

Verdict

SEA FORCE starts 2026 on a good mark so is fancied to return in style and follow up his stylish season-closing victory at Yarmouth. Sir Paul Ramsey should prove suited by this step up in trip and could emerge as the main danger to William Haggas' progressive 4-y-o ahead of Impartiality, Noche Clasica and Dwindling Funds.

  1. SEA FORCE (IRE)
  2. SIR PAUL RAMSEY
  3. IMPARTIALITY
