| 4th | 1 | 1 |
Machete (G)
Winner at Newcastle in December. Last of 6 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 4/1) 17 days ago, slowly away. That was a pretty disappointing effort but he was in good heart prior to that and will have claims if bouncing back.

Jason Watson | D O'Meara | 7 | 63.5 kg |

11/2
|
| 5th | 2 | 9 |
Midnight Rumble (G)
12/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 28 days ago. Back up in trip for this tapeta debut and looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Luke Catton | A King | 5 | 63 kg |

| 8th | 3 | 6 |
Knockbrex (G)
Latest win at Newcastle in November. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 5/1) 28 days ago. Back up in trip and will probably find one or two too good once more.

J Mitchell | C Johnston | 6 | 62.6 kg |

| 1st | 4 | 7 |
Melek Alreeh (G)
7/1, very good second of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 28 days ago, running on. Back up in trip and should be on the premises once more.

L Morris | D M Simcock | 7 | 62.1 kg |

Robusto (G)
[B]
Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (15/2) at Southwell (12.1f) 17 days ago, having run of race. Place possibilities.

Harry Vigors | Eve Johnson Houghton | 6 | 60.8 kg |

| 7th | 6 | 4 |
Sea Founder (G)
[H1]
Seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 16/1) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip and hood on 1st time. Evidence available suggests that he's probably more effective on turf.

Finley Marsh | R Hughes | 4 | 58.1 kg |

| 2nd | 7 | 8 |
Damascus Steel (G)
[V]
Unreliable type. 14/1, didn't need to improve to win 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 20 days ago, driven out. Evidently in good nick but more on his plate back up in class here.

William Carson | D P Quinn | 6 | 58.1 kg |

|
| 10th | 8 | 10 |
Yokohama (G)
Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. 8/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D 41 days ago, slowly away. Others make more appeal.
|
Donagh Murphy | J Butler | 5 | 58.1 kg |

| 3rd | 9 | 5 |
Jodhpur Blue (G)
[T]
Creditable second of 7 in handicap (2/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 10 days ago. Solid claims off the same mark (due to go up 1 lb).

Cieren Fallon | Ian Williams | 5 | 57.2 kg |

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (7/4) at this C&D 7 days ago. Leading claims under a penalty.
