Lord Capulet (G)
FAV
Made excellent progress this year, registering a fourth C&D victory in April. Continued good work when making all back on turf at Redcar (7f) 12 days ago. Rates a big player back on all-weather.

King's School (G)
[TP]
Bagged a third C&D handicap last summer and largely held form well since, returning from 5 months off with a solid third behind Lord Capulet over C&D 4 weeks ago. No surprise to see him thereabouts again.

Atmosphere (G)
[V]
Successful 3 times during 2025 and lines up here following a strong of consistent efforts, headed only late on when second at Kempton (7f) 6 weeks ago. Another holding claims from unchanged mark.

The Green Man (G)
[VT]
Recorded three wins here last year, the latest over C&D in December. Consistent in defeat subsequently, third of 8 in a C&D handicap 18 days ago. Each-way claims again eased in grade.

Yaajooz (G)
[H]
Runner-up 3 times last year, including over C&D. Not seen to best effect returning from 6 months off when eighth in handicap at Beverley (7.4f) 26 days ago but that ought to have blown the cobwebs away.

Blazing Son (G)
Notched third win here when bagging a C&D handicap in September and returned to form when runner-up back here in March. Exploits mixed subsequently, failing to see his race out when ninth on most recent start 4 weeks ago.

Red Mirage (G)
Multiple 7f scorer who returned from 4 months off with a good third at Doncaster in March. Disappointed at Leicester last time but overall profile suggests he's not the type to stay down for long.

264-366 | Jason Hart | J & S Quinn | 8 | 59.4 kg |

Criminal Shore (G)
[V]
Ripon success in 1m handicap last spring remains his sole career win from 18 starts and he was below form when eighth in handicap at Musselburgh (7f) 3 weeks ago. Return to this venue could see him in a better light.

Rich Rhythm (G)
[P]
Ran respectably after 6 months off when eighth of 11 over C&D 53 days ago. Has dropped back to his last winning mark but a place is probably the best he can hope for.

Cusack (G)
[P]
Three-time C&D winner who shaped as if needing the run after 5 months off when twelfth behind re-opposing Lord Capulet over C&D 4 weeks ago. Will need to step up significantly from that if he's to feature in a competitive affair.

Ticktyboo (G)
Took a big step back in the right direction when third over 6f here in September and not seen to best effect when fifth over same C&D a month later. Switched stables ahead of return and interesting what the market makes of him on this firs…
