Bearwith (G)
Scored at Newcastle in February and back on song when second of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (1¼m) 11 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts.

FAV
Goes very well round here and capitalised on much reduced when registering a second course success in 12-runner handicap (1½m) 3 weeks ago. Big shout nudged up 2 lb.

Finlaggan (G)
FAV
French recruit who has been brought along steadily by his current yard, eighth of 11 in maiden on qualifying run at Catterick (7f) 21 days ago. Up in trip for his handicap debut and he's open to improvement.

Piecederesistance (G)
[T1]
C&D winner but an ungenuine type and pulled up over hurdles at Wetherby on his final run for Micky Hammond in October. Tongue tied for new yard with his fitness to prove.

Dubawi Time (G)
[H]
Winless in 2025 and largely well below par for William Knight. Has slipped to a handy-looking mark though if resurgent for his new handler on seasonal return.

Heartened (F)
[P]
Got off the mark at Newcastle in September. Failed to build on reappearance promise though when sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (1½m) 24 days ago and he's 3 lb "wrong" at the weights here.
