Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.
‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.
‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come first or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.
How the experts rate the horse’s chances:
2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse.
3. Timeform view and TFR rating

In the hope that the change of scenery (debut for new yard) has perked him up, MASQOOL gets the nod. He won offthis mark at Chelmsford last summer and shades preference ahead of last week’s C&D winner Mbappe and stablemate Galaxy Wonder Each-way cases can be made for some of the others, most notably Berning Hot, who put in a good shift when third to Mbappe here recently, and Brinton.

TOO HOT TO TANGO is starting to prove expensive to follow but she sets the standard and is worth one more chance in a winnable-looking novice. Nuptown Girl is unexposed as a miler and ought to be very competitive back in novice company, with Star Obsession considered a likely improver for a top yard

JAMES MCHENRY: Following its run on 16/1/2026 it was reported that the horse lost its action.
Probable S.P’s: 4-1 The Lost King (GB), 9-2 High On Hope (GB), 11-2 Popmaster (IRE), 7-1 Sovereign Sea (IRE), 10-1 Unassuming (FR), 11-1 Nikovo (GB), 12-1 Angel Hunter (GB), I Still Have Faith (GB), 33-1 James McHenry (GB), 40-1 Harvey (FR)
THE LOSTKING hasn’t stood much racing but he resumed from a break in good orderwhen mowing down Popmaster in the closing stages over 7f here last month. That was just his sixth career start and there may well be better to come from this 4-y-o back at a mile. The hat-trick seeking High On Hope and Sovereign Sea are feared most in that order of preference, while the aforementioned Popmaster should also be in the mix once more.

BULLINGTON BRY did well under the circumstances when third off this mark at Chelmsford last week and he is taken to regain the winning thread. Next on the list is Court of Session, who snapped a long losing run at Wolverhampton recently and he remains on a good mark with his 4lb penalty factored in. Portoro is also shortlisted.

Tony Carroll continues in good form and his thriving filly MAGNA is fancied to quickly resume winning ways having just been denied over C&D last time despite taking a strong hold. Respectable Jack came in just behind her that day and rates the main threat, although Porfin and Initial Blue are both well in the mix too.
