Verdict

MAO SHANG WONG wasn't overly extended when scoring for the first time at Newcastle 9 days ago and, on that evidence, this 5 lb higher mark looks manageable. He may have most to fear from Up The Jazz, who returned to form when runner-up at Wolverhampton and shouldn't be inconvenienced by this step back up in trip. It's likely that Hibernate will be in the mix if raring to go following a break, while Irish import Avatar Jet is also of interest, despite returning from a lengthy absence.

2	Deservedly opened his account at the eighth attempt when coming from off the pace to land a 1¼m Newcastle handicap recently. 5 lb rise no great hardship and, provided he is able reproduce that level of form back on turf, he'll take plenty of stopping with a capable apprentice booked. 1st Pick 2 Mao Shang Wong (Ire) Jockey: Conor Whiteley Trainer: David O'meara J: Conor Whiteley T: David O'meara	100	-	-	-	29%

7	Edged down the weights during a winless 2025 campaign and stepped up on low-key reappearance when third in a Wolverhampton handicap (8.6f) earlier this month. 1 lb lower back on turf and he's one to consider. 2nd Pick 7 Up The Jazz (Ire) Jockey: Ethan Tindall Trainer: Richard & Peter Fahey J: Ethan Tindall T: Richard & Peter Fahey	96	-	-	-	20%

11	Off the mark when narrowly landing a 5-runner Chepstow handicap over this trip last season. Followed that with a series of good efforts in defeat and, though below par tried in cheekpieces (discarded here) at Newmarket on final run of 2025, he could have a part to play if ready to roll. 3rd Pick 11 Hibernate (Ire) Jockey: Toby Moore Trainer: Ed Dunlop J: Toby Moore T: Ed Dunlop	98	-	-	-	7%
