Classic Speed (G)
Dual C&D winner in 2024 and turned in best effort of last year when head second of 12 to Adace in handicap at this course (7f, 11/2) 5 weeks ago. Remains 5 lb below last winning mark so he could make another bold bid.

Adace (M)
[P]
Took advantage of her reduced mark when scoring here (7f) in December. However, below-par effort when last of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 25/1) 12 days ago, so bounce back now called for.

Homme De Fer (G)
FAV
Went the right way on all-weather in 2025, opening account at Wolverhampton in December before also landing 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, 10/3) 23 days ago. Leading contender in his current form.

Whiskey Sunrise (G)
Took a step forward on first 2 starts in handicaps, including when fourth at this C&D in November. Slowly away when sixth of 10 at Lingfield (8f, 10/1) 37 days ago, so no surprise to see him get back on track.

Callum Shepherd | P Phelan | 4 | 59.9 kg |

Angelica K (M)
Successful at this C&D on last year's return. Well held on final 2 starts of the campaign, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to soft, 14/1) in October, though she's not ruled out having eased further in the weights.

Alistair Rawlinson | S Hodgson | 6 | 59.4 kg |

First Encounter (G)
[V]
Ran well when making the frame final 2 starts last year, but lesser effort when eighth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 12 days ago. Capable of getting involved if on a going day.

Pave The Way (F)
[B1]
Form went the wrong way in 2025 and fared no better than on stable debut when last of 8 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 33/1) 8 days ago. Blinkers now reached for.
|
J Mitchell | M G Rimell | 4 | 58.1 kg |

| 8th | 8 | 4 |
Cherry Hill (M)
Sole success came at this course (7f) back in 2023. Little promise in only 3 starts last year, tenth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D when last seen in May, so she has enough to prove on her return.
|
Ben Ffrench-Davis | D J S Ffrench Davis | 5 | 57.6 kg |

| 4th | 9 | 2 |
Marchetti (M)
Nineteen runs since last win in 2024. Placed at this C&D in October but down the field both subsequent outings, stopping quickly when last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, 50/1) 6 weeks ago. Others more persuasive.

Alec Voikhansky | J C Fox | 9 | 57.2 kg |

Mister Knockout (G)
[TB1]
Struggled for form in handicaps on the Flat last year, again finishing well held when eleventh of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 80/1) 44 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time.

Weston Court (G)
[P]
Recorded back-to-back wins last summer but has largely found things tough since, last of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, 33/1) on latest outing 37 days ago. Best watched.
