Emperor's Son (G)
[V]
Ended a long losing run at Wolverhampton (5f) in January and in good nick since, not enjoying a clear passage when sixth of 10 over C&D 6 days ago. Can go well again off the same mark.

D Flawless (M)
Right back on track for her current yard when third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 33 days ago. Firmly in the picture off an unchanged mark.

| 8th | 3 | 1 |
Blue Force (G)
[H]
Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton (5f) in December but not at that level in two runs there since, just fifth of 7 on latter occasion 14 days ago. This C&D scorer needs to bounce back.

Lion's House (G)
FAV
Course winner who posted his best effort of late when a running-on third of 10 in handicap over C&D 6 days ago. Must enter calculations.

Our Absent Friends (G)
Gained a third C&D win in December but he beat only two in handicap back at this C&D 6 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Darlo Pride (G)
[BT]
C&D winner in December, 2024 but yet to hit top form in a trio of runs after 9 months off, fifth of 11 to Digital over C&D 17 days ago. Needs to take a step forward.

The Fixer (G)
[P]
It's now 16 starts since his last win in 2023 and he came in last of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 40 days ago. Others appeal more.

| 4th | 8 | 10 |
Water Of Leith (G)
C&D winner who comes here in good form, having his second run in 24 hours when fourth of 10 in handicap over C&D 6 days ago. Weighted to go close.

314655 | Lauren Young | J S Goldie | 8 | 58.1 kg |

Digital (G)
[P]
In fine form this winter and bagged a second C&D victory in 11-runner handicap 17 days ago, fending off Our Absent Friends by ½ length. Up 3 lb but not taken lightly in his current mood.

Catch Cunningham (G)
[H]
It's now 22 runs since his last win in 2024 and he came in a below-par seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 17 days ago. More is required from this C&D scorer in a refitted hood.

| 2nd | 11 | 5 |
Amerjeet (G)
A fair 5f scorer for Archie Watson who is shaping up well for his current handler, suffering a none-too-clear run 1f out when a close third of 7 in 5f handicap at Wolverhampton 10 days ago. Big shout eased 1 lb.
