| 3rd | 1 | 1 |
Lord Mayor (C)
Fair maiden. 15/8, third of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (1¼m) 24 days ago. Remains unexposed and this longer trip on a more galloping track could suit him better.

Jason Watson | A M Balding | 3 | 61.2 kg |

10/3

| 1st | 2 | 6 |
Wicksey (G)
FAV
Promising sort. 20/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (1¼m) 6 days ago by 2¼ lengths from reopposing Trust No One. A 6 lb penalty may not stop him with further progress likely.
|
A Mullen | B Haslam | 3 | 58.5 kg |
2.38
11/8
|
| 5th | 3 | 2 |
Cospicua (F)
Well suited by the significant step up in trip when making her first handicap start a winning one at Kempton (1½m) 20 days ago. Should go well again.

Lewis Edmunds | J Tate | 3 | 57.2 kg |

| 4th | 4 | 5 |
Contemplation (G)
Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 12/1) 35 days ago. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut. One to note in the betting.

Harry Vigors | J Ferguson | 3 | 57.2 kg |

| 2nd | 5 | 4 |
Trust No One (G)
[BT]
Won 1¼m course handicap in January. Even better form when 2¼ lengths second of 9 to Wicksey back here (1¼m again) last week. Likely to give another good account.
|
K T O'Neill | Lemos Souza | 3 | 56.7 kg |
5.50
9/2
|
| 6th | 6 | 3 |
Red House (G)
[P1]
Modest form at best in 3 qualifying outings over 7f/1m here in recent months. Steps up significantly in trip for handicap debut with cheekpieces also added.

Warren Fentiman | S Hanlon | 3 | 56.2 kg |

Betting forecast: Wicksey (11/8), Lord Mayor (10/3), Trust No One (9/2), Cospicua (6/1), Contemplation (15/2), Red House (80/1)
