Captain Vallo (G)
[P]
A 3-time C&D winner who wasn't discredited on his second run back from a four-month lay-off when fourth of 9 in handicap over C&D 19 days ago. Merits consideration eased 1 lb.

Teardrops (G)
FAV
[BT]
Thriving of late and bagged a third C&D win in January. Took another step forward when second of 9 in handicap over C&D 15 days ago so this low-mileage 4-y-o merits serious consideration off the same mark here.

George Wood | R Spencer | 4 | 61.2 kg |

7/4
|
| 7th | 3 | 2 |
Mersea (M)
C&D winner. Last of 11 in handicap at this course (5f, 25/1) 15 days ago though so has a bit to prove now.

Oliver Stammers | Grant Tuer | 6 | 60.8 kg |

10/1
|
| 1st | 4 | 8 |
Howzak (G)
[T1]
C&D winner. Last of 9 in handicap over C&D 37 days ago. Tongue strap goes on for the 1st time with something to prove now.

| 8th | 5 | 3 |
Penny Mountain (M)
Got off the mark over C&D in January but found his run of good form coming to a halt when sixth of 7 to Teardrops in handicap over C&D 22 days ago. The sort to bounce back though.

Kaiya Fraser | Gary Rutherford | 5 | 58.5 kg |

| 2nd | 6 | 5 |
Asadjumeirah (G)
[PT]
A 5-time C&D winner, including in this 12 months ago. Posted a good third of 8 (given he went freely) in handicap back over C&D 15 days ago so he can't be ruled out in his follow-up bid.

Cam Hardie | A Brittain | 8 | 58.1 kg |

|
| 6th | 7 | 1 |
East Tyrone (G)
[B]
Kickstarted 2026 with success at Wolverhampton in January and has continued in good nick, third of 9 there (6.1f) 9 days ago. Can make his presence felt once more.

| 5th | 8 | 6 |
Laurens Dream (F)
[B1]
C&D winner who recorded a creditable second of 8 in classified event at Southwell (7.1f) 13 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces now but it's 19 runs since her last win in 2024.
