Pacific Prince (G)
Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in handicap (100/1) at this C&D 16 days ago. Readily passed over.

R P Mcmurphy (G)
FAV
[P]
C&D winner in December. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 9 in handicap (9/4) at Southwell (8.1f) 6 days ago. Very much a player off the same mark.

Edward Greatrex | M Appleby | 4 | 60.8 kg |

| 2nd | 3 | 9 |
How's The Guvnor (G)
[H]
Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 11/2) 51 days ago, clear of rest. Remains winless following 8 attempts on the AW but shouldn't be far away nonetheless.

George Wood | J Candlish | 5 | 60.3 kg |

Scenario (F)
Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (9.5f, 5/1) 10 days ago. 2 lb rise fair enough but this race looks stronger. Yard also saddles Volendam.
|
N Callan | A W Carroll | 4 | 60.3 kg |

|
| 4th | 5 | 6 |
Volendam (F)
5/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 9 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip and others are more persuasive.
|
Rowan Scott | A W Carroll | 4 | 59.9 kg |

| 8th | 6 | 3 |
Homer Stokes (G)
Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. 9/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 9 days ago. Up in trip and he needs to bounce back.
|
Callum Rodriguez | T D Barron | 8 | 59.9 kg |

Strobelight (G)
[BT]
5/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 14 days ago. Back up in trip and he should be on the premises if taking his chance. Engaged 4.12 Chelmsford Sunday.
|
Billy Loughnane | G Boughey | 4 | 59.4 kg |

| 7th | 8 | 11 |
Lhebayeb (M)
C&D winner. Three wins from 19 runs last year. 28/1, good fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago. Looks competitive on form.
|
Callum Shepherd | R J Price | 8 | 59.4 kg |

14/1
|
| 10th | 9 | 1 |
Paps Of Jura (G)
Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft). Off 6 months ahead of this handicap debut and while improvement is certainly not out of the question, a big step forward is clearly needed.
|
Rob Hornby | S Thomas | 5 | 59 kg |

16/1
|
| 5th | 10 | 10 |
Faster Bee (G)
[T1]
Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. 18/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 28 days ago and, unless the first-time tongue strap sparks improvement, he will probably come up short once more.
|
Gina Mangan | F O'Brien | 5 | 58.1 kg |

| 9th | 11 | 2 |
Dash Power (G)
[B]
C&D winner. One win from 35 Flat runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2025. Seventh of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 24 days ago. Others preferred.

Sean Kirrane | L A Mullaney | 5 | 57.2 kg |

Arlecchino's Rex (G)
Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. Ninth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 21 days ago. Up in trip and it's probably best to look elsewhere.
