Groundsman (G)
[P]
Off the mark at Wolverhampton (7f) on final start for Richard Fahey in September and posted solid placed efforts on 2 of his 3 starts for present stable thereafter. Not ruled out back from 5 months off.

Regal Guest (G)
[P1]
Standout effort on his second outing when third of 11 in a 7f Kempton novice last March. Seems a fragile sort though and was well held at Newmarket on Saturday. Cheekpieces now reached for.

Giant (G)
Losing run is mounting up but posted a more encouraging effort following a further drop in weights when third at Southwell (1m) 2 starts back. May have found ground faster than ideal when down the field at Doncaster (7f) latest and he's no…

Rusheen Boy (G)
[TB]
Dual winner in 2025 who was seen to good effect from the front when edging a tight finish at Southwell in January. However, not in same form following a break back at that venue 5 weeks ago. Refitting of blinkers can help.

My Mate Kev (G)
FAV
Successful from much higher mark at Newmarket this time last year but largely disappointing since, failing to justify support when sixth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f) 12 days ago. Interesting if there's confidence behind him again havin…

The Organiser (G)
[T]
Back on scoreboard at Brighton in September and whilst his record has been mixed since, he's best not judged too harshly on his latest Chelmsford run in March. Comes here operating 5 lb below last winning mark.

My Boy Harry (G)
Registered a pair of 7f victories at Chelmsford in January and comes here following a creditable fourth over 5f here 10 days ago, badly outpaced early before keeping on well. Return to further a definite plus on that evidence and he's on a…

Havanita (F)
Lightly-raced maiden who ended last season with a poor effort at Kempton in October. Needs to get back on track on this return from 7 months off.

Jackson Street (G)
Successful over this trip on all-weather here in December and best not judged on his final outing when seventh back here in January, things getting messy on the inside. Not discounted back from a break.

Beau Jardine (G)
[B]
It's now 2 years since his last success and having ended last year below his best, he never threatened on his Salisbury reappearance 16 days ago. Entitled to be sharper here but others preferred.

Twitch (G)
[B]
Dual 7f winner in 2024 who has drawn a blank since but best effort for a while from easing mark when second on all-weather here 3 weeks ago. Can go well again with a repeat back on turf.
