Arnhem (G)
FAV
Made a winning stable debut at Haydock in September. Has a higher mark on all-weather and quickly left behind a lesser effort when second of 8 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 13 days ago. Major player.

Monks Dream (G)
[H]
Seventeen runs since last win at this C&D, but only narrowly denied here in November. Left poorly placed when third of 5 in C&D handicap (11/2) 22 days ago, though needs things to drop right given his tendency to start slowly.

King's Crown (G)
[PT]
Proved better than ever when recording a third C&D success here in January. Hasn't been in the same form at this venue last 2 starts, though, fifth of 8 in handicap (16/1) 13 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Mission Command (G)
[T]
Without a win in 2025 but made the frame on several occasions, including on first 3 starts for current yard. Had excuses on final outing last year and bounced back when third of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 9/2) 3 weeks ago. Respected.

Castan (G)
[P]
Four wins last year, scoring twice over C&D, and ran well when second of 10 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 9/4) 29 days ago. Races off his last winning mark so can make his presence felt back at this venue.

Hover On The Wind (G)
Took advantage of reduced mark under positive tactics when scoring over C&D in December. However, he found it tougher next time when 3 lengths seventh of 12 to King's Crown in handicap here (10/1) 34 days ago.

Brave Empire (G)
[TV1]
Fourteen runs since last win but better signs at this course on final 2 starts last year. Only fifth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 16 days ago, though he lurks on a dangerous mark fitted with a visor/tongue strap back on.
