| Justified good support when scoring at Lingfield (5f) in January and went close over the same C&D later that month. Found run of good form coming to a halt here last time but couldn't rule out now eased in grade. | ||||||||

| Successful off a similar mark over C&D last summer and followed that with a fine second at Yarmouth. Ended 2025 with a lesser effort at Leicester but his record on the all-weather is solid and he will have every chance if ready to roll. | ||||||||

| Dual C&D winner in 2023 and back on the scoresheet at Lingfield in November. Just respectable efforts since, though, and he's likely to find a few too strong. | ||||||||

GOLDEN LONG was an eye-catcher on debut on these shores at Southwell where he put in good late work without being unduly punished. The 6-y-o is entitled to come on for that and he shades preference ahead of Tan Rapido and the consistent Almaty Star. |
