Verdict

SPORTINGSILVERMINE had a strong first campaign with the James Owen yard, including a Musselburgh win, and might be able to start 2026 with a bang. Moon Over Miami hasn't been seen for a year but is still unlikely to give up his unbeaten turf record without a fight. Gambino and Team Player also make the shortlist in this competitive handicap.

6	Course winner for this yard last spring and plenty of good efforts in defeat subsequently, including twice second off this mark on AW last autumn. Much respected on reappearance. 1st Pick 6 Sportingsilvermine (Ire) Jockey: Cieren Fallon Trainer: James Owen J: Cieren Fallon T: James Owen	100	-	-	-	9%

2	0-3 on all-weather but a perfect 3-3 on turf, including a 2m Newbury handicap (good) last April. Not seen since but he remains unexposed as a stayer and every chance his leading yard will have him primed for this. A must for the shortlist. 2nd Pick 2 Moon Over Miami (Fr) Jockey: Hector Crouch Trainer: Ralph Beckett J: Hector Crouch T: Ralph Beckett	98	-	-	-	19%

7	Won 14-runner Gowran maiden for Noel Meade last year. Solid return to the Flat when third in the Southwell novice won by Constitution Hill in February and also a promising third on his Newbury hurdle debut since. Tongue tied first time. Very much unexposed for his good stable. 3rd Pick 7 Gambino (Ire) Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Rossa Ryan T: Dan Skelton	98	-	-	-	34%
