ADONIUS made a striking impression when bolting up on his introduction over C&D recently, travelling strongly throughout before pulling clear by seven lengths. Rebecca Menzies' juvenile could have any amount of improvement to come and will prove very tough to beat. Penny Arcade changed hands for 30,000gns as a yearling and goes for a yard that knows how to ready one, so she has to be respected. Any market support for newcomer Ponte Carlo would be interesting.

Suddenly I See got off the mark over 7f at this venue in September and is of interest on his handicap debut. Kameko Fever hit the woodwork at Newcastle and needs considering, but BLUES AND ROYALS might be the one. Michael Bell's charge took a step forward to make a winning handicap debut at Kempton, despite being left with plenty to do. Off just 3lb higher, he looks the one to beat.

Bellarchi won over 7f at this course earlier in the month and is likely to be on the premises, while Samra Green was highly tried in Group 2 company last year and is another to note. The verdict is for ICE SOVEREIGNS, who couldn't land a blow in the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket last September but had showed plenty of promise before that at Carlisle.

NOCHE CLASICA has won half of her six starts and, for each of those victories, she represented a different trainer. Sold for 150,000gns prior to a two-race campaign for James Owen, she struck at the first time of asking for Ed Bethell at Redcar in the autumn and can scale even greater heights this year. William Haggas must always be respected on his Musselburgh raids so Sea Force, who ended 2025 with a Yarmouth triumph, will be fancied by many to pick up where he left off. Impartiality got last season off to a flyer so commands attention on his return, and there is more to come from Dwindling Funds too.

James Owen has won the last two renewals so Sixpack comes into the equation, even though he has been off since disappointing on his jumping debut back in October. Dust Cover, Ludo's Landing and Made All have been in winning form on the all-weather, but a chance is taken on the fitness of VELVET WHISPER. The daughter of Calyx came into her own when upped to middle-distances as a three-year-old and proved her stamina with a facile success over C&D. Say What You See made an encouraging reappearance at Doncaster and will relish the rise from 1m2f.

SEA SUITE is the obvious starting place and ought to go very close given he won quite well at Southwell three weeks ago, should have no problems with the return to turf, and has Cieren Fallon in the saddle again. Cargin Bhui also switches from the all-weather and has been in good form so warrants plenty of respect. Ziggy's Condor is another to note.

Right And Exact jumps off the page boasting an unexposed profile, a novice success on turf at Catterick and making his handicap debut. All of those factors make him of considerable interest, but experience can win the day and MONTEZUMA might be able to build on an improved second-placed finish here recently. Northern Spirit is another to bear in mind.
