Weather: Mostly cloudy

4 yo Colt

OR: 76

Form & Verdict
Progressive sort, building on his fine reappearance in finishing third of 21 at York (7f, good) last month when winning at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) nine days ago; has a 5lb penalty, but it's likely he has further improvement in him and he's much respected.

J: Ray Dawson

Best form at 7f on good/firmer; completed a hat-trick last summer and ran creditably in big field at Newmarket in the first of his two starts this term; chance may depend on the actions of the weather, however.

Best form at 7f on good/firmer; completed a hat-trick last summer and could be set for further success this term, having performed encouragingly (third of 18) at Newmarket on reappearance; one to consider.

6 yo Gelding

OR: 76

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who ended a 13-race losing run at Beverley (7f, good) last May, but finished over 6l behind Crimson Spirit when fourth of nine at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) nine days ago; 5lb pull doesn't look enough to reverse the placings, albeit he may enjoy the run of the race.

Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell and comes here on the back of a good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap; this three-time C&D scorer must enter calculations.

J: Robert Havlin

T: Michael Appleby

Nine-time winner (6f-7.4f), who defied this mark at Southwell in January but he's been well held in three runs since; now drops back in grade but he needs to get back near his best.

J: Harry Davies

T: Michael Appleby

Did too much up front kept to AW on return from break last time, again running below the form of his January win; effective on turf but has never defied a mark as high as current one.

9 yo Gelding

OR: 69

Form & Verdict
Best known for his AW exploits (eight wins), though one of his two turf successes came over C&D (good to firm) last September; has run well fresh, but others make more appeal back from 111 days off.

Retains plenty of vitality despite his advancing years; however, form dipped last time when bidding for a Chelmsford double; gained the most recent win in a lower grade.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Stuart Williams

Triple C&D winner who took advantage of a reduced mark when coming from rear to score at Brighton (7f, good) in August; remains well treated on old form but his spark was missing at Kempton last time and he needs to step up again after that.

J: Jack Doughty

T: Tony Carroll

Four wins last summer, latterly off a 7lb higher mark, and has come back to form round here lately; often blows the start and can pull hard, while it's late in the day to be trying headgear for the first time, but he remains quite capable if things fall right.
