Verdict: Market confidence behind Betties Bay would look significant but she's been of a long time so preference is for CARGIN BHUI.

Comment: Operating below his best on turf in the autumn but his mark has come down as a result and a solid record AW affords him plenty of respect back from a short break.

Comment: Hasn't always looked straightforward but he has been in good form for his new stable, winning at Redcar (6f) in August and then over 5f at Newcastle in November; creditable third of 13 back at Newcastle (5f again) since; the draw could have been kinder but he still enters calculations.

Comment: Lost her way badly in the second half of 2024 but had quite some quite useful form prior to that and is dangerously well treated now starting out for the excellent James Owen yard after a 14-month layoff; changed hands for 9,000gns; market confidence would look very significant.

Comment: Better effort since returning from six months off when fourth of seven over 5f at Chelmsford 15 days ago; this four-time course scorer has handicapping scope if able to build on that having dropped to 2lb below the mark he defied at Chelmsford last April.

Comment: Produced a career-best effort when making all at Kempton (6f) in September; not seen again until ninth over C&D on Saturday, weakening after pulling too hard; that should have knocked some of the freshness out of him but the draw hasn't been kind.

Comment: 70,000gns yearling; Mohaather half-brother to winners Betty Clover (5f 2yo including Listed; RPR 99) and Another Thought (6f AW; 75); notable connections; one of the likelier types among the newcomers.
