Lazzar (G)
FAV
Won a novice race at Lingfield over 6f on AW 43 days ago. First of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10/3) 15 days ago, chasing leaders before taking lead inside last half furlong to win by a neck. Arrives in top form seeking a hat-trick.

Siobhanbrogan (M)
[V1]
Showed promise when 2nd at Wolverhampton in February 2025, but finished 4th of 7 in handicap (16/1) 45 days ago when rushed up from wide draw having been slowly away. Best not judged too harshly on that run and she's on a handy mark if fir…

Stapleford Park (G)
Won at Chester in 2024 but has shown little since, finishing eighth of 9 at Windsor (28/1) last September on stable debut. Work to do following a break.

Massimo Blue (G)

Ninth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (17/2) 48 days ago, never on terms after awkward start. Won at 6f in October and could fare better with cleaner break.

Darn Hot Time (F)
[H]
Off 10 weeks/hooded for first time (retained) on first run since leaving Michael Appleby when sixth of 9 in handicap (20/1) at this course (8.6f) 33 days ago. Back down in trip and may take a step forward with that run under her belt.

Invincible Melody (G)
[V]
Has shown fair form without winning in 15 starts, finishing 2nd of 12 in handicap at Southwell over 7f (4/1) 11 days ago when running up to his best. Has form over 6f and he's entitled to be in the mix.

Buraback (G)
Ten career wins including two at this track but finished eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (18/1) 13 days ago after failing to settle. May appreciate return to Chelmsford but needs things to fall right given his run style.

Won over 6f at Kempton 29 days ago. Second of 8 in 7f classified race at Lingfield (5/1) 5 days ago, pulled hard and had to wait for gap before being edged out inside final 100 yards. Going through good spell and he's not discounted in cha…
