J: Callum Pritchard

Multiple winner over hurdles and fences; went down narrowly after a break at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) and he's hard to knock, other than the handicapper knowing all about him.

Form & Verdict
Has done well over hurdles since returning from a year out and he's a superior chaser as his respective ratings confirm; on a good mark on form as recent as last year and needs considering; good ground is ideal.

Pink Eyed Pedro

12st 2lb

J: Mr James King

T: David Brace

Splendid old-timer who has won both confined novice (2019) and grassroots (2025) incarnations of this race (each on good); always held by a match-fit and five-years younger rival on this month's seasonal return, albeit beaten just 2l; likely to be spot on for his title defence.

Pink Eyed Pedro

12st 0lb

J: Mr James King

T: David Brace

Stratford record of P3322 includes a John Corbet third to Law Of Gold in 2019; no doubting his appetite for the game remains judged on scores in a Howick open and (latest) the Dunraven Bowl at Chepstow, but he'd be the oldest winner of this race since 15-year-old Otter Way in 1983.

Pushed Kauto The King close at Newton Abbot last month but hasn't been at his best this season and he finished well behind at Warwick last time; usually ridden patiently.

Romanor

Multiple winner who is usually held up; he's not won for ages and Newton Abbot last time was disappointing, but his previous seconds (including here) bring him firmly into the equation.

J: Micheal Nolan

Quirky veteran who is usually ridden very patiently; without a win since September 2022 and not the force of old but has posted three good efforts since returning from a break in April and is very well suited by this track.

Romanor

J: Micheal Nolan

T: Seamus Mullins

Lightly raced over last couple of years and no longer the force of old but has made the frame twice on good ground at Fontwell (2m3f/2m2f) this spring and is also suited by this C&D; usually ridden very patiently; no surprise if he features.

Form & Verdict
Not the easiest to predict but it was career win number nine when returning from wind surgery with a narrow success over Romanor at Newton Abbot (2m, good; fine over this far); Worcester was underwhelming, for all that he was a shade out of the weights.
