Silky Wilkie (G)
FAV
Took advantage of a much-reduced mark when ending long losing run at Newcastle in January. Continued in good form when fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (3/1) 9 days ago and he's capable of another bold bid.

Papa Cocktail (G)
Winner at this C&D in October and justified support when scoring readily in handicap back here (5/2) 17 days ago. Back up in grade but has plenty of form in stronger contests so he enters calculations.

O McSweeney | M Herrington | 7 | 61.2 kg |

Hierarchy (G)
[BT]
Three-time winner in 2025 and bounced back to form when opening account for the year in 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (18/1) 9 days ago, overcoming positional disadvantage to lead late on. Major player.

The Flying Seagull (G)
[V]
Without a win in handicaps last year but placed on 3 occasions. Run best excused when fifth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (7/2) on final outing in June, racing closer to pace than ideal, though has absence to overcome.

Zak Wheatley | H Palmer | 4 | 60.3 kg |

Moonstone Boy (G)
Fair handicapper who, after 3 months off, ran respectably on first start since leaving Iain Jardine when fourth of 6 at Southwell (5f, 6/1) 30 days ago. Entitled to strip fitter for that outing, though he's yet to prove himself at 6f.

Ararat (G)
[P]
Won back-to-back 6f handicaps at Southwell in the autumn but has gone the wrong way in 3 starts since, finishing last of 10 at the same C&D (7/1) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Harry Vigors | R M H Cowell | 6 | 59.4 kg |

Lequinto (G)
Four-time winner last year and returned to form when runner-up at Lingfield (5f) in January. Possibly unsuited by step back up to 7f when sixth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (14/1) 4 days ago, so he could bounce back.
|
Matthew Slater | A W Carroll | 9 | 58.1 kg |

| 2nd | 8 | 4 |
Water Of Leith (G)
Runner-up twice at this C&D in January and made the frame for fifth consecutive start when fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (11/2) 10 days ago. Can remain competitive from current mark.
