Studious (G)
Latest win at Newcastle in November. 7/1, again ran creditably when third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 34 days ago. Mark has eased 2 lb and can give another good account.

Camino Del Ray (G)
Made promising start in 2025 but ended season in disappointing fashion and others make more appeal returning from 6-month break.

Shaw Park (G)
Course winner. Probably needed run after 5-month absence when eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 28/1) 6 days ago. Proved consistent last season and is expected to step up on comeback, for all others still strike as likelier wi…

Aisling Oscar (G)
FAV
Has thrived for current yard, completing a 7-timer at Newcastle when scoring readily in 12-runner handicap (7f) a fortnight ago. Up another 6 lb but is one of the most progressive horses in training at present and looks the one to beat aga…

Bajan Bandit (G)
C&D winner. Placed on 4 of 5 starts since winning at Newcastle in December, shaping as if still in good form with benefit of handy position when third of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 14 days ago. Frame claims again.

Eve's Boy (G)
[P]
Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Last of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 11/2) 23 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Has edged down to interesting mark but could do with learning to settle better.

P Mulrennan | M Dods | 4 | 59.9 kg |

Forest Caper (G)
[H]
Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 7/2, fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 13 days ago. Hood back on. Others more persuasive.

Soames Forsyte (G)
[P]
Unreliable type. 4-time course winner. Three wins from 12 runs last year. 28/1, improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Suited by way race developed there and regular slow starts mean he isn't sure to …

Finn Ironside (G)
[T]
Won back to back at Doncaster and Newcastle (AW) last summer but has posted 3 lesser efforts since. A bounce back is needed.

Evocative Spark (G)
[V]
Latest win at Catterick in October. 28/1, not disgraced when seventh of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 73 days ago, lacking clear run. Still looks a shade high in the weights.

Callum Hutchinson | J Riches | 7 | 56.7 kg |

| 5th | 11 | 6 |
Marry The Night (G)
[P]
Enhanced fine C&D record when winning 11-runner event 13 days ago. That effort rated as a career best and he merits consideration from 3 lb higher mark.
