Lednikov (G)
[B]
A 3-time C&D winner, including in this 12 months ago. Looked rusty after 7 months off when eighth of 9 over C&D 19 days ago and no surprise to see him take a big step forward here with usual blinkers refitted.

Night Bear (G)
[V]
C&D winner. 5/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at this course (11.1f) 14 days ago, well positioned. Sixteen runs since his last win in 2024 though.

Haliphon (G)
[V]
It's now 18 starts since his last win in 2024 but he posted a creditable third of 9 in handicap at this course (14.1f, 6/1) 16 days ago. In the mix with visor back on.

Rosco Rogers (G)
[P1]
Still a maiden but he comes here in decent nick, fourth of 9 over C&D 19 days ago. Possibilities with cheekpieces added.

Havachoc (G)
FAV
Took a big step forward when getting off the mark in 8-runner classified event at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 20 days ago, readily making all. Has to be taken seriously back in handicap company.
|
Paddy Bradley | P Morris | 4 | 59.4 kg |

Abu Royal (G)
Took a step back in the right direction after 5 months off when sixth of 12 in handicap here (11.1f) 14 days ago. One to consider from a falling mark.

S D Bowen | L Morgan | 6 | 59 kg |

| 10th | 7 | 2 |
Broadstone (G)
[P]
Unreliable sort but he recorded a good fourth of 12 in handicap here (11f) 14 days ago when not ideally placed. Can make his presence felt if on his A-game again.

P Mulrennan | J R Norton | 4 | 57.2 kg |

Argentum (F)
[B1]
Resumed from 5 months off with an encouraging third of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 22 days ago, faring best of the front runners. Makes her tapeta debut now and can't be discounted in her bid for a breakthrough victory.

L Morris | M Crawley | 4 | 57.2 kg |

| 9th | 9 | 9 |
Stoneacre (G)
Yet to register a victory and he came in just ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (11.1f, 80/1) 14 days ago, despite having the run of the race. Others appeal more.
|
K T O'Neill | S Dixon | 6 | 57.2 kg |

|
| 6th | 10 | 7 |
Easter Sundae (G)
Eleventh of 12 in handicap (80/1) at this course (11.1f) 14 days ago. Lots more is required if he is to get off the mark here.

Joanna Mason | J S Wainwright | 7 | 57.2 kg |

Angelardo (G)
Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f) 119 days ago. A major step forward is needed.
