Bone Marra (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 7lbs
Or: 83

Started and ended 2-y-o campaign with wins at Wolverhampton. Good second of 10 on Lingfield all-weather reappearance and probably worth forgiving a lesser run in a strong 7f Goodwood handicap since. Respected back on an artificial surface.

Blue Orbit (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 1lbs
Or: 77

Retuned from a gelding operation with good in-frame efforts at Wolverhampton (5f) and Bath (5.7f) this spring. Never involved in a big-field race at Ascot last time but should find life easier back in these calmer waters.

Enricher (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 5lbs

Came good in 7-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (6f) last August but not seen again until well held in 6f Leicester handicap 24 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind.

Up The Agenda (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 0lbs
Or: 76

Made it 4-7 in handicaps when leading late on over 6f at Kempton in January. Possibly needed the run after 4 months off when seventh of 14 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago.

Sanaam (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 7lbs
Or: 83

Won a 7f course maiden in December but no impact in a couple of turf handicaps over the same trip this year. Needs a combination of return to all-weather, drop back in trip and first-time cheekpieces to help spark a revival.

Gaurdman (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 7lbs

Promising Blue Point colt who made it third time lucky when just holding on at Haydock (7f, good) last September. Off 8 months ahead of this all-weather and handicap debut but returns with his leading yard in tremendous form.

Lady Kodiac (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 9lbs
Or: 85

Landed 2 6f novices at Chelmsford last autumn. Got back on the up with second of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f) last month and seemed stretched by 7f at Carlisle since. Considered back at 6f.

Ghisa (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: 78

Won first 2 starts as a juvenile, the latter over 7f here. Failed to make a significant impact at Meydan over the winter but last year's all-weather form means he's worth a look in the betting now handicapping after a break.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
30/01/26	Meydan	6f 211y	Good	7/14	Flat

16/09/25	Wolverhampton	6f 20y	Slow	1/10	Flat

Timeform Verdict

Plenty with chances in this finale but the vote goes to returning handicap newcomer GAURDMAN with the Roger Varian team in such good form. Lady Kodiac didn't seem to get home over 7f last time but her 6f form is solid and she's second choice ahead of Bone Marra, who has 2 wins and a second to show from his 3 outings on an artificial surface.

Betting Forecast

12/1 Ay Up Duck, 12/1 Bone Marra (Ire), 11/1 Blue Orbit (Ire), 16/1 Enricher (Ire), 8/1 Up The Agenda (Ire), 8/1 Sanaam (Ire), 7/2 Gaurdman (Ire), 13/2 Lady Kodiac (Ire), 9/2 Ghisa (Ire)
