Scudamore (G)
[P]
Absent 12 months prior to his return in May and shaped as if back in good heart last 2 starts, third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (24.3f, good to firm) in October. Off since but he's run well fresh before so could be in the mix.

Ballin Bay (G)
Had been struggling for form (including over fences) following Kelso success, but shaped well back hurdling on stable debut when third at Wetherby in March. Left reappearance run behind when never-nearer fourth of 9 also at Wetherby (24.1f…

East Eagle (G)
[T]
Following a wind op, took advantage of reduced mark when opening account at Southwell (24.3f) in April. Has worked his way back to his best this season, doubling his tally with a game success at Catterick (25.3f, good) on New Year's Day, s…

Dillarchie (M)
FAV
[P]
Last win came at this C&D in February 2024 and, from her falling mark, turned in best effort of the current campaign when runner-up at Catterick (25.3f, good) in December. Could be ready to return to winning ways back at this venue.

Honey I'm Good (M)
[T]
Landed handicap chase at Stratford in August 2024 and held her form well for the remainder of last season, placed over hurdles at Hereford and second of 4 over fences back at Hereford (25.2f, good) when last seen 15 months ago. Capable if …

Topkapi Star (M)
[BT]
Wide-margin winner at Ayr in first-time cheekpieces a year ago but hasn't been able to match that level since, in first-time tongue strap when pulled up at Doncaster (24.4f, soft) in December. Blinkers reapplied, though others more persuas…

King Casey (G)
[P1]
Without a win but made the frame in a Market Rasen handicap in June and ran close to that level when third at Wetherby (24.1f, heavy) 13 days ago, the conditions just seeming to take their toll. Merits consideration from his current mark w…
