MRS STORMIATRIX ran a good race when second over this C&D last time. She raced from just off the pace but found one too good in the form of King Redoute. The daughter of Vercingetorix is having her peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. She gets the services of capable work rider Phenisile Mongqawa and is the horse to beat. WISPINTHEWILLOW has produced two fair runs to date. The daughter of Willow Magic has scope and she may be the one to fill the exacta spot. JAWBREAKER finished 5.3 lengths behind the top choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and he may have to settle for the same result. He is carded to race on 21 February 2026 and his progress in that race will need to be monitored. BEACH WALKER returns from a 12-week break which may have done him the world of good. On best form shown, he can cause the upset.
