Chasing a C&D hat-trick and 2lb well in under a penalty; big player stepping up in class
6 (4)	Talis Evolvere Bay J:Alec Voikhansky T:Richard Hannon	J:Alec Voikhansky T:Richard Hannon	128	—	205-12	88	107	86	14d	—	—	-6	16.2	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Two fine runs this month, winning here and 2nd at Newcastle (both 1m); still on fair mark
3 (7)	Doctor Khan Junior Bay J:P J McDonald T:Geoff Oldroyd	J:P J McDonald T:Geoff Oldroyd	132	v	5/77-4	92	110	73	23d	—	—	-4	16.7	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Clear signs of a revival last time and on a dangerous mark if he can build on it
8 (1)	Flag Of St George Brown J:Joanna Mason T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	J:Joanna Mason T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	123	b	02025-	83	107	78	35d	—	—	+6	15.9	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Not at best behind Legal Reform on Boxing Day; career best required to take this

Five wins in productive 2025; this race demands more but it's not impossible; yard runs 2
5 (9)	Eldrickjones Bay J:Warren Fentiman(5) T:Roger Fell	J:Warren Fentiman(5) T:Roger Fell	128	—	97414-	88	105	82	48d	—	—	+12	18.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Five wins at Newcastle but effective over C&D; not at best last time but can bounce back
1 (2)	Willem Twee Bay J:Daniel Muscutt T:James Fanshawe	J:Daniel Muscutt T:James Fanshawe	136	—	5630-0	96	109	89	29d	—	—	+8	12.9	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Not as consistent as he was but this is a drop in class and he can't be discounted
7 (5)	Gallant Bay J:Jonny Peate T:Oli Rix	J:Jonny Peate T:Oli Rix	128	t	49160-	88	106	91	58d	—	—	+12	15.3	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Dropped right away on last month's stable debut; hood discarded; others look safer
2 (8)	Diderot Brown J:Rowan Scott T:Julie Camacho	J:Rowan Scott T:Julie Camacho	132	h	3V8/9-	92	108	-	357d	—	—	+8	11.3	10.00/1	40/1 2%
On a dangerous mark but starts out for new yard after a year off; best form at 1m-1m2f
