Invited (G)
[T]
Course winner who gained fourth win of 2025 when making all at Lingfield on New Year's Eve. Should remain very competitive off 2 lb higher.

Good Morning Alex (G)
Course winner. Seven wins from 19 Flat runs. 12/1, creditable second of 16 in handicap at Carlisle (1m, soft) last June. Off since so his peak fitness has to be taken on trust.

Shiplake (G)
FAV
[H]
Improved since stable switch, catching the eye when sixth at Kempton (7f) before landing a C&D handicap towards the end of November. Up 7 lb but could have more to offer on this surface.

Rowan Scott | K P De Foy | 4 | 59.9 kg |

Candonomore (G)
[T]
Three wins from 13 runs last year. Bit below form when fifth of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Newcastle (7f) 78 days ago, needing stronger gallop. First run for yard after leaving Tim Easterby. The betting should help guide to expectations.

Marco Ghiani | S C Williams | 5 | 59 kg |

The Turpinator (G)
11/1, very good second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 7 days ago, faring best of those held up. Nicely handicapped if he can build on that.

Oliver Stammers | Grant Tuer | 9 | 57.6 kg |
