| 4th | 1 | 7 |
Chemistry (G)
Ran much his best race for current connections when 4th of 9 in 16f handicap at Southwell in December, but last of 8 over 12f there since.

Gentleman Joe (G)
[T]
Second of 13 in 16f handicap at Dundalk in December and found the test inadequate when sixth of 7 over 12f there (4/1) last time. Step back up to 16f should suit on first run for new trainer (sold for £20,000).

Jonny Peate | M Crawley | 8 | 64 kg |

10/1

| 7th | 3 | 10 |
Sax Appeal (G)
Successful 7 times in 2025, including at Southwell in December. Backed that up when second under a penalty at Kempton but seemed to have no excuses when fifth of 6 at Wolverhampton (15/2) 13 days ago.

| 10th | 4 | 6 |
Alrazeen (G)
All 5 career wins have between November and February and he bounced back to form when second of 9 at Southwell (22/1) in December. May well have won that granted a cleaner passage and he's one for high on the shortlist.

Humble Spark (G)
[H]
Shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 11 over this C&D last time. Has a hood reapplied for the first time in 2 years and can make his presence felt having edged below his last winning mark.

Lauren Young | J S Goldie | 6 | 58.5 kg |

Vaguely Royal (G)
[P]
Well held at Wolverhampton (20/1) 13 days ago on first outing for new yard, blowing the start badly and struggling from some way out.

Ryan Kavanagh | Ian Williams | 6 | 57.6 kg |

| 11th | 7 | 5 |
Fleurman (G)
[P]
Tumbled down the weights after a poor couple of years but finally stopped the slide when third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (66/1) 17 days ago following 13 weeks off, albeit with aid of good position. Even more will be needed here.

Gina Mangan | P Morris | 8 | 56.2 kg |

Weddell Sea (G)
[TP]
Winner over C&D in December. Acquitted himself really well upped in grade when fourth of 11 (16/1) here 34 days ago, unfortunate not to finish closer after meeting trouble.

Team Player (G)
[T1]
Won at Lingfield in September but finished last of 3 when odds on at Newcastle in October, left poorly placed in slowly-run race. Makes debut for new yard after 140 days off and now faces a significant step up to 16f. First-time tongue str…

Educator (G)
Ran creditably on last 2 starts, most recently when third of 9 at Lingfield (6/1) 19 days ago. Place claims from same mark.

Hatysa (F)
FAV
Won 3 of her last 4 starts, landing a wide-margin win here before following up at Southwell in hard-fought fashion against better-quality rivals. Hasn't been seen since September but rates highly despite the layoff.
