Verdict

This is wide open. TEX has gained both his victories here (first over C&D) and scored in good style in amateur company last time out so is fancied to defy a 6 lb weights rise with Simon Walker a significant booking. Recent Ffos Las winner Kaleidoscope Eyes heads the list of dangers under a 5-lb penalty, although Rock Opera is weighted to go well and represents last year's successful connections. Norcross Brow is another who can play a prominent role in his bid for a fourth win of 2026.
