Verdict

Harry Eustace has his string in excellent nick so it could be worth siding with his PRINCIPALITY given the race should set up well for him and he starts 2026 on a fair mark. Irish challenger Far From Dandy wasn't seen to ideal effect when fourth in the Irish Lincolnshire at the Curragh and can also have a say, while Rainbow Nebula, Classic Encounter and Carron all have something to recommend them in this wide-open handicap.

4	Arrived late to land 1m handicap at Goodwood last summer and ended 2025 with very good efforts in 1m handicaps there and at Newmarket, not ideally drawn on each occasion. This could set up well for him and he's interesting for yard among the winners. 1st Pick 4 Principality (Ire) Jockey: Kaiya Fraser Trainer: Harry Eustace J: Kaiya Fraser T: Harry Eustace	100	-	-	-	12%

15	Off the mark in big-field Ascot handicap last autumn and got back on the up (in a first-time visor) with a gritty success at Newcastle (1m) in November. Still lightly raced as he begins his 4-y-o campaign. 3rd Pick 15 Rainbow Nebula (Fr) Jockey: Billy Garritty Trainer: Richard & Peter Fahey J: Billy Garritty T: Richard & Peter Fahey	96	-	-	-	12%
