Tiger Crusade (G)
Course winner who took advantage of his lower mark on turf when successful at Brighton in July. After 6 months off, creditable third of 6 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 3 weeks ago and he can give another good account.

Silky Wilkie (G)
FAV
Without a win since 2023 but after a 4-month break he ran well when third at York in September. Not in the same form next 2 starts, ninth of 11 in handicap at Ascot (5f, soft, 9/1) in October, though he's on a dangerous mark down in grade.

Jack Nicholls | K R Burke | 7 | 59.9 kg |

No Return (G)
Won twice in Ireland in spring last year, but making first start since leaving Daniel James Murphy he ran poorly after 6 months off when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 20/1) 7 weeks ago. Bounce back called for.

Oliver Stammers | C Johnston | 4 | 59.4 kg |

Elouise's Prince (G)
[H]
Won twice for Robert Cowell in 2024 but found it tough in handicaps last year, down the field in 2 starts for Adrian McGuinness including when ninth of 10 at Newcastle (5f, 12/1) 7 weeks ago. Has enough to prove on stable debut.

Jude Fernandes | L A Dace | 4 | 59.4 kg |

Accrual (G)
[E]
Successful on third start for new yard at Wolverhampton (6.1f) before Christmas and ran at least as well when second of 9 in handicap the same C&D (15/2) 8 days ago. Major player in his current form.

Hierarchy (G)
[BT]
Ended long losing run at Southwell in July and has won twice since, getting the better of a next-time-out winner when landing 9-runner handicap (16/5) at Kempton (6f) 28 days ago. Is best when getting a good pace to aim at, though.

Cayman Tai (G)
Is yet to win a handicap but took a step back in the right direction when third of 9 at Kempton (6f, 4/1) 7 weeks ago (Hierarchy ahead in second). Task is now to build on latest effort back up in grade.

Thomas Greatrex | R Hannon | 4 | 56.7 kg |

| 4th | 8 | 2 |
Charlie Mason (G)
Reliable type who recorded his third win of 2025 when scoring at Doncaster in September. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (5/4) at Chelmsford City (6f) 5 days ago and he can make his presence felt with yard going well.
