J: Jason Hart

Strike-rate of 8-34 includes five turf wins; seventh behind Vantheman at Hamilton 14 days ago but moved well for a long way before fading late on.

J: Rhys Elliott

As good as ever on Tapeta lately, albeit turned over as favourite on last two outings; returns to turf 3lb above his highest winning mark and at the age of seven (no surprise to see Rhys Elliott up to take off 5lb) and he will need to get things bang on.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Paul Midgley

Front-runner; enjoyed a purple patch last summer, landing a big payday when scoring at Haydock in August; got the better of Fidelius over C&D on his return to action in January and he meets his old rival on 1lb better terms today; only fourth in a higher grade last time but he can make a bold bid back into 0-85 company.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Paul Midgley

Landed a hat-trick in the Sky Bet Sunday Series in 2025 but he lost his way subsequently; however, he clearly benefited from a break when winning over this C&D 50 days ago (Ziggy's Triton was fifth) and holds solid claims off this 4lb higher mark.

J: David Nolan

T: Paul Midgley

Landed a valuable payday at Haydock last month, completing a 5f hat-trick in the process, but he has come up well short in Class 2 events twice since; return to Class 4 will help but there is plenty of other pace on show this time.
