Mehman (G)
[BT]
3-time C&D winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (7f, 16/1) 23 days ago. Drops markedly in grade here and shouldn't be taken lightly.

Buddy Batt (G)
Two wins from 4 runs last year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (9/4) 35 days ago by head from Prairie Girl, not clear run (second past the post but subsequently promoted). Much respected in hat-trick bid.

Billboa (G)
C&D winner. 5¼ lengths fifth of 7 to Buddy Batt in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 35 days ago. Work to do at present.

Lunigiana (F)
Didn't need to be at best when winning 7-runner maiden (5/4) at this C&D 63 days ago by ½ length from Woolridge. Makes handicap debut.

Prairie Girl (F)
FAV
[P]
C&D winner. 2/1, very good head second of 7 to Buddy Batt in handicap at this C&D 35 days ago, just holding on (first past the post but subsequently disqualified). Needs considering again.

Woolridge (G)
[P]
Creditable second of 8 in maiden (3/1) at this C&D 30 days ago, though typically carried head bit awkwardly. Makes a belated handicap debut and opening mark looks fair.

Julian Pietropaolo | A Oliver | 4 | 56.7 kg |

| 5th | 10 | 1 |
Inishmot Prince (G)
[V]
6-time C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. 25/1, 2 lengths third of 7 to Buddy Batt in handicap at this C&D 35 days ago. Stepping back in the right direction.
