Phoenix Moon (M)
FAV
All 4 wins over 6f on Lingfield's polytrack, the latest on her reappearance 32 days ago. Only raised 3 lb for that but has yet to prove she's as effective on turf.

King David (G)

Arrives on a lengthy losing run but mostly creditable efforts on all-weather since joining Gay Kelleway, including fourth of 11 over 7f at Chelmsford last month. Has finished down the field in 3 previous turf starts, though.

Beaming Light (G)
[E1T1]
Went close over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton in February but hasn't reproduced that since, including back sprinting last twice. Tongue tied first time. It remains to be seen whether a return to turf spark a revival.

Ishe Worth Agamble (G)
[PT]
Three 6f turf wins last year. Not at best on all-weather when last seen in the winter but may do better back on the grass if ready to roll after 100 days off.

Winchurch (G)
Twelve runs since last win in 2025. 7/2, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (5f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Back up in trip.

Orbital Chime (G)
[B]
Placed at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Thirsk (7f) this month. Caught further back than ideal at Southwell (7f) last week and treated as if still in form. 6f winner for previous yard. Considered.

Big Apple Jack (G)
Out of sorts at the end of last season but well treated on the pick of last year's efforts and the yard had one bounce back to form to make a winning reappearance here under Lewis Chalkley recently. Interesting, particularly if backed.
