Roger Varian handicap newcomer RETURN TO UNIT appeals as one who can make up for lost time in 2026. Degale is another with relatively few miles on the clock and is second choice on the back of an encouraging effort at Nottingham. Last weekend's Thirsk runner-up Hale End and likeable veteran Garden Oasis complete the shortlist.
