Tongue Strap worn by No 3. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 6. Stewards Note: GRANGECLARE DIEGO: Following its run on 27/12/2025 it was reported that the horse was never travelling.
Probable S.P’s: 15-8 Keppel Queen (GB), 7-2 Aire Spray (IRE), 11-2 Top Guy (IRE), 17-2 Rosie Baloo (GB), 10-1 Escapologist (FR), 16-1 Seahouses (GB), 20-1 Grangeclare Diego (IRE)
None of these can be ruled out but AIRE SPRAY has advanced his form since the cheekpieces went on and is taken to defy a 4lb rise and follow up a recent C&D success having done well after a bad error at the last. Rosie Baloo heads the list of dangers with this step up in trip promising to suit, although last year’s winner Grangeclare Diego and Carlisle scorer Keppel Queen are also well in the mix.
