Charlie's Choice (G)
FAV
Gained a deserved success after three second placings in 9-runner handicap over C&D 7 days ago. Up 5 lb but he scored readily there so has to be taken seriously.

Taryn Langley | D M Simcock | 6 | 64.4 kg |

| 2nd | 2 | 7 |
Wonder (G)
Scored over 2m at Southwell early in 2025 and arrives in good nick, staying on into fourth of 11 in handicap there (12.1f) 51 days ago. Not ruled out.

Jonny Peate | J R Fanshawe | 5 | 63.5 kg |

| 4th | 3 | 6 |
Naasma (M)
A three-time 11.5f winner at Windsor last summer and not disgraced when fourth of 9 in handicap at Epsom (12f) when last seen out in September. Can make his presence felt after a break.

Paddy Bradley | P Phelan | 7 | 63 kg |

Tortured Soul (G)
Arrives on a hat-trick after scoring over 10f here and in 10-runner handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 7 days ago when always holding on as the front two pulled clear. Up another 4 lb but this C&D winner holds leading claims with this step back…

Damascus Steel (G)
[V]
Unreliable type but resumed winning ways in emphatic style in 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 12 days ago. Needs to back it up off a 5 lb higher mark now.
|
William Carson | D P Quinn | 6 | 61.2 kg |

| 7th | 6 | 5 |
Raintown (G)
[B1]
A 3-time C&D winner but he comes here well below par, eighth of 9 to Charlie's Choice over C&D 7 days ago. More is required in a change of headgear.
|
Taylor Fisher | J S Moore | 6 | 60.3 kg |

| 8th | 7 | 3 |
Blue Universe (G)
Posted a solid second in 1m4f handicap at Brighton in August and in good nick over hurdles since, fifth at Huntingdon (20.7f) 60 days ago. Possibilities back in this sphere.

L Morris | M J Attwater | 6 | 59.9 kg |

| 6th | 8 | 4 |
Connie Moon (F)
[V1]
Fair maiden who shaped as if the run was needed after 6 months off when eighth of 9 in handicap here (10f) 46 days ago. Not discounted with that run under her belt and a visor added.

Rob Hornby | D J Coakley | 4 | 58.5 kg |
