J: Oisin McSweeney

Held on well to score at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month and has no stamina worries over this longer trip but recent 3lb rise is probably enough to leave this 8yo vulnerable to younger rivals here.

A dual 7f/1m scorer at Redcar last autumn and she comes here in decent nick, suffering a poor run when seventh of ten in 8.5f Beverley handicap ten days ago; needs considering off a slipping mark.

Won three turf handicaps (1m/7f) in 2025, all in a tongue-tie and the latest with cheekpieces on for the first time; no headgear for either start last month (probably didn't stay 1m2f last time) and the accessories are missing again; back on her last winning mark, though.

Infrequent winner but he's on a dangerous mark and has reached the frame at Nottingham (8.3f, good) and Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in his last two starts; now drops back in trip but he should get a good pace to aim at and is not ruled out.

C&D winner in January, when 12lb lower; followed up at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta); went close from this mark when fourth back there (8.5f) on his penultimate start; respectable second at Lingfield latest but if back in the form of that penultimate effort, he'd have strong claims.
