|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 1 | 8 |
Monsieur Kodi (G)
[P]
Has run with credit when reaching the frame on his last 7 outings, finishing third of 11 over 7f at Chelmsford last time. Likely to give another good account.

Warren Fentiman | R A Fahey | 7 | 61.2 kg |
4.50
7/2
|
| 4th | 2 | 2 |
Mr Cool (G)
[P]
Two turf wins over 6f in the first half of 2025. Also a good second at Kempton (6f) in October but has struggled in 4 outings since. It remains to be seen whether a step up to 7f for only a second time helps to spark a revival.

Cieren Fallon | C Johnston | 4 | 61.2 kg |

| 2nd | 3 | 9 |
Signcastle City (G)
FAV
Sixteen runs since last win in 2024. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 17 days ago. Others are more obvious.
|
Thomas Greatrex | R Hannon | 6 | 60.8 kg |
4.33
10/3
|
| 8th | 4 | 5 |
Tronido (M)
[H]
C&D winner who scored twice around 1m on turf at the end of last summer. Off since a poor run at Goodwood in October. Possibility he'll need this.
|
Tyler Heard | S Dow | 5 | 60.8 kg |

10/1

| 6th | 5 | 6 |
Serenity Dream (G)
[P]
Back to form with a bang in refitted cheekpieces (retained) when winning 6f handicap at Kempton 24 days ago, driven out. Just as effective at 7f and ought to remain competitive off 3 lb higher.
|
Jack Doughty | A W Carroll | 5 | 60.3 kg |

| 3rd | 6 | 3 |
Iconic Times (G)
Has rather lost his was since a 6f Kempton win last July, returning from a break to finish eighth of 11 there (6f again) 17 days ago. Needs to have come on a fair bit.
|
Saffie Osborne | H Main | 4 | 59.9 kg |
10
9/1
|
| 5th | 7 | 4 |
Dandy Khan (F)
Four course wins (3 over this trip) since joining Jim Boyle. Last Saturday's 1m course third of 12 shows she's still in form. Likely to go well again.
|
Ashley Lewis | J R Boyle | 4 | 56.2 kg |

11/2
|
| 7th | 8 | 1 |
Split Elevens (G)
Three-time C&D winner. 66/1, good third of 14 in handicap at Southwell (7f) when last seen in October. Could play a prominent role if fully primed after 106 days off.
|
S D Bowen | J Butler | 8 | 55.8 kg |

14/1
|
| 9th | 9 | 7 |
Comedian Leader (M)
Out of sorts in recent starts, finishing last of 8 over C&D last Saturday. Big turnaround needed.

L Morris | J & S Best | 6 | 53.5 kg |
