DC COGENT (1) concluded 2025 maintaining progressive form after a smart 0.5L second in this handicap grade over 1200m at Southwell AW during December. Can continue the trend and go one place better. Leading chance. NORTHERN ATTITUDE (7) made the frame past three attempts including a 0.75L second in a lower level 1200m handicap at Southwell AW eleven days ago. Ticks plenty of boxes. SPARTAN FIGHTER (9) is a ten-time winner at this venue including nine times over course and distance. Running well so far in 2026 with a hat-trick of 1200m track wins prior to a second here last week. Holds every chance. BLACKJACK (3) looks one to note.
