Verdict

Top-weight FINAL NIGHT won 3 times here towards the end of 2025 and returned from a short break in top form when third at Newcastle last month. He makes most appeal, with recent Lingfield scorer Sea Founder perhaps the biggest threat dropping back down in trip. Atmosphere is also considered despite a disadvantageous draw.

1	Thrived during second half of last year, quickening up best when cosily making it 3 wins from 4 starts over C&D in December. Continued on the up when third at Newcastle (1m) last month and has to be taken seriously again. 1st Pick 1 Final Night Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: John Butler J: Rossa Ryan T: John Butler	100	-	-	-	13%	7/1

2	Seemingly finding his feet on his first 2 starts of the year and was right to back to his best when winning an 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (1¼m, all-weather) 18 days ago. Shouldn't have too much of an issue with the drop back to 1m and is respected. 2nd Pick 2 Sea Founder Jockey: Finley Marsh Trainer: Richard Hughes J: Finley Marsh T: Richard Hughes	99	-	-	-	23%	7/2

7	C&D winner on penultimate outing of 2025 and shaped well until the lack of a recent outing seemed to tell when third in another C&D event 4 weeks ago. Does have wide draw to overcome, though. 3rd Pick 7 Atmosphere Jockey: George Wood Trainer: Richard Spencer J: George Wood T: Richard Spencer	98	-	-	-	17%	5/1
