Shaffron (F)
No impact in 2 handicaps last autumn but remains low mileage and this is a drop in class. First outing for 6 months.

Eagles Whistle (M)
Rattled off a hat-trick in classified company at up to 9.5f for Daragh Bourke in January (final win over C&D). Has performed with credit in defeat for new yard since, proving her stamina for 1½m on penultimate outing. Should give another g…

Spec Of Light (G)
Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2025. Second to Jack Andrea over 11f here on stable debut in February and things didn't go his way back here 26 days ago (likely still in form).

Arth's Gold (C)
[P]
Tenth of 12 in handicap at Beverley (1½m, good) 13 days ago but good second to Jack Andrea over this C&D prior to that and claims if back to that form. Blinkers off, cheekpieces back on.

Tupero (G)
[PT]
Winner at Newcastle in February. 5/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Catterick (1½m, good to firm) 20 days ago. Leading claims.

Jack Andrea (G)
FAV
Made it 3 wins in his last 4 starts when seeing off Arth's Gold by ½ length over C&D 23 days ago. A further 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid in his current mood.

Lednikov (G)
[B]
Three-time C&D winner. Also successful over 1¾m here in March but could only finish 11¼ lengths seventh of 10 to Jack Andrea over C&D 23 days ago.

| 7th | 8 | 6 |
Artavian (G)
[V]
Good second of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (1¼m, soft) last October but hasn't been seen since so peak fitness has to be taken on trust.

Electric Bass (G)
Modest maiden. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (1¾m) in December. Off since.

Night Bear (G)
[V]
C&D winner. Now 19 runs since last success in 2024 but he went down by only a head to the reopposing Jack Andrea over 11f here 31 days ago.
