Verdict

This is wide open. FRANKIES DREAM hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green on his last 2 runs at York and Ascot and can now capitalise on a handy-looking mark and gain a first win of 2026. Last year's victor Paladin teed himself up well for a repeat when runner-up at Ascot and heads the list of dangers. Illy's Roo, Capital Guarantee and Welbury can all play a prominent role too in this highly competitive event.
