Runners Spotlight

1
Charlie Mason
Favorite

Better than ever in the second half of 2025, winning at Doncaster in September and running well in four handicaps since; just making his move when short of room in a valuable event over C&D 15 days ago and treated as being in top form still; solid claims for a rider who has made a flying start to her career.

Jockey: Myla Coppins(5)Trainer: Tony Carroll
2
Em Four

Finished behind Charlie Mason over C&D 15 days ago; back in form when third of eight at Southwell on Sunday; should run his race but others are more appealing for win purposes.

4
Nazron

Well treated on even last summer's best; had wind surgery in August and he has finished out the back in three runs this winter, including tried in cheekpieces last time; now has a visor fitted and drops into a Class 5; revival likely to be predicted by the betting.

Jockey: Lewis ChalkleyTrainer: Ivan Furtado
5
Distant Rumble

Not at his best in two runs back from a 116-day absence but neither run was without hope and he is back to his last winning mark; promising apprentice booked; revival possible.
