Verdict

This is wide open but the vote goes to HUMBLE SPARK who rates the pick of the weights on the back of a very good nose second at York a week ago and can gain a deserved first success of 2026 off just a 1 lb higher mark. Square Necker is much less exposed and rates a big threat on just his second handicap start, while Ashnak, Peaky Blinder and Letsbefrank all need factoring into this cracking handicap, too.
