Charlie Appleby and William Buick teamed up to win this last year so newcomer Cerro Blanco needs to be taken seriously. However, this trip might be on the sharp side and with that in mind, WIELD is preferred. Andrew Balding's colt was able to build on a underwhelming debut effort when third at Chelmsford last month and could put that experience to good use. 500,000-euro purchase Makerstoun warrants a market check.
Andrew Balding won this in 2021 and his Wield looks interesting, having improved quite a bit from his debut effort to finish third at Chelmsford five weeks ago. He was keen then and should do better still if settling, but Godolphin's CERRO BLANCO appeals more and is taken to make a winning debut for a yard that often excels at this meeting and won the race last year. The son of Wootton Bassett may want 1m before long but has presumably be showing up well at home to be making his debut in this. Galba is third choice, having shaped quite well over slightly shorter at Newbury on debut. The drier ground this time might suit.
2 Feb; 110,000 euros Mehmas colt; dam a Group-placed 6f winner; good trainer, who has started well with his juveniles, has enlisted the services of a top rider on debut and he looks a likely type.

Shadow King is a half-brother to Involvement, who was victorious on his debut. Although the son of Dark Angel is likely to progress over trips longer than this, he must still be respected. Innichen could improve on his debut sixth at Bath, but ADAAY OF SCARLETT might be the one. Hugo Palmer's youngster is bred for speed and given that his dam placed at Group level, it would be no surprise were he to make an instant impression.
Innichen is the only one of these with experience, shaping better than the result when sixth at Bath nine days ago, and he should improve, but is in against a couple of appealing types on paper, namely ADAAY OF SCARLETT and Shadow King. Both are from yard's that have had juvenile winners already this season and it's Hugo Palmer's runner who appeals more on this occasion given he's out of a Group-placed sprinter from the family of 5f Group 2 winner Stepper Point. Shadow King is related to some good winners over further but is still afforded maximum respect.
Continues winning ways up in trip, looked a nice prospect when winning a novice at Ffos Las by 1/2l last time; effective 6/7f on fast ground; can improve again if settling better.
Successful at 6f and 7f on good to firm and good ground. Won on his latest outing when 4-6fav at Ffos Las over 7f (good) in August last year, beating Magnatura by 1/2l.

The son of Wootton Bassett could be a different proposition in the first-time hood, though, and he is expected to bounce straight back to form. Lost Signal completed a double at Ffos Las back in August and is noted, while Richie's Rocket also merits consideration.
A small field but an interesting race all the same with TALK OF NEW YORK appealing most now he's down in trip and fitted with a first-time hood. He got too far back having pulled hard and been restrained in rear at Meydan latest and, assuming the headgear has a positive effect, then he can return to winning ways. His stablemate Maximized lacks potential but is in good form and worth a shot at this 7f trip. He's the danger although Richie's Rocket caught the eye somewhat on his reappearance at Lingfield, finishing off well, and is open to further progress yet after just three runs for his top trainer.
Put experience to good use, step back up in trip worked well when winning a maiden at Pontefract by 5l last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 6f on soft and good ground; capable of better this season.
A winner at 11-4 at Pontefract over 6f (soft) on his latest outing in October last year, beating Marseillan by 5l. He is wearing a tongue-tie for the first time.

Stellar Vision justified cramped odds to get off the mark at Wolverhampton in January and has to be considered on his first start in a handicap. Similar comments apply to Sierra Sands, who has the assistance of Ryan Moore, but CASHBOX is preferred. Charles Hills' gelding won both of his nursery outings last season, with the latest of those coming over track and trip in October. Although 4lb higher ahead of his return, he remains the one to beat.
Cashbox ended last season on a high, winning back-to-back, including over C&D in October when last seen. He could be capable of better still this season and his mark remains fair, but William Haggas has won this handicap for the past two years and can do so again courtesy of HARDY'S HERO, who has been gelded since an underwhelming handicap debut at Newbury in September. He'd won his two previous starts and could still be better than a mark of 80 - he's related to a Listed-placed performer. Starryfield has shown plenty over sprint trips and is a potential improver now handicapping over a longer trip, while Crazee Icon is proven over this trip in competitive handicaps and another to consider for her top yard.
Below form beaten 3 1/4l in a claimer at Churchill Downs last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; generally consistent in handicaps and is capable on this return to Britain.

The consistent Sturlasson must be taken seriously on his return to the fray and it would come as no surprise if We Never Stop was involved in the finish. DYONISOS just edges it, though, as he can show the benefit of having had a couple of efforts in the Dubai sunshine this winter and his latest third at Meydan was a really encouraging display.
Regal Envoy had a run under his belt when winning this 12 months ago so it might be best work looking elsewhere this time. Rosario was a disappointment in the race last year but ended 2025 on a good run and could do better this time around. The selection is DYONISOS, who has race-fitness on his side having run a good race over this trip at Meydan in February. It's taken him a while to find his feet since joining Ian Williams from France, but is on a good mark now and William Buick in a good jockey booking. We Never Stop is strongly considered also for Kevin Ryan, who has won this race twice in recent times. He too has a fitness edge over several of these.

This is a fascinating contest consisting of plenty of three-year-olds who could make up into really nice types this season. Darn Hot Gallop is unbeaten in two starts and impressed under a penalty when scoring in novice company at Newcastle. She is respected, as is Pandemonium, who was tried in a Group 3 last year, and We're Goosers, who looks sure to improve now stepping up to a mile. TIGER POWER gets a tentative vote though because the Haydock debut scorer has had a run this year and it was a good one at Southwell.
Darn Hot Gallop is unbeaten in two starts and almost certainly capable of better this season now stepping up in trip and switching to handicaps. She's not expected to have any issue with the switch to turf but the selection is WE'RE GOOSERS for Hugo Palmer. The trainer has won the last two runnings of this race, both times with an outsider, and this one holds much more obvious claims having shown fair form on his first two starts before putting clear with one other when getting off the mark at Newcastle. His opening mark seems favourable. Major Neigh Sayer is better than he was able to show on heavy ground in a French Listed event last time and he should be much happier back on a sounder surface here for this handicap debut. Pandemonium is interesting also, being another grade-dropper on this return and with Oisin Murphy booked.
Struggled when beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Ascot last time; suited by 1m and a sound surface (likes it fast); strong pace helps but his mark is high enough.
She has won four times from 7f to 1m on good to firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 9l behind Crown Of Oaks at 14-1 when 18th of 20 on her latest outing at Ascot over 1m (good) in October last year.

Real Gain has won at this track before and is beginning to look well treated again, while Esherann singed off his 2025 campaign with a win at the Curragh and is another to consider closely ahead of his stable debut/seasonal return. GREAT CHIEFTAIN has had a couple of runs at Meydan this year though and the C&D winner might be able to show the benefit of that.
A good-quality handicap in which several make appeal. The drop in trip is an interesting move for TYCOON, who ran well on his debut over 7f and has since raced at 10f-plus. He's a son of Kingman and looks to have the requisite speed for this distance. He's only a 4yo and open to plenty of further improvement. Great Chieftain won a good C&D handicap at last year's Guineas meeting and comes here fit having been running in Dubai. He rates the danger, although both Mister Winston, gelded since his last run when down the field in the Cambridgeshire, and the ex-Irish Esherann, who could be on a nice mark, can go well also.
