| 7th | 1 | 4 |
Dingle (G)
Proved at least as good as ever to make it 3 wins from his last 4 all-weather starts at Newcastle (1m) last month, seen to maximum effect having been allowed a soft lead. Career-high mark to contend with here and may not find things so muc…

Angel Hunter (C)
[B1]
Grabbed a share of spoils here (7.1f) in October but has disappointed on both runs since, having little chance the way things developed following another 7-week break at Kempton recently. First-time blinkers are applied and needs a return …

First Ambition (G)
Debut winner at Newcastle and followed up under a penalty 8 months later over C&D in August. Lost unbeaten AW record at former course in November but has been given a break since and is worth a chance to bounce back returning from a 3-mont…

Unassuming (M)
FAV
[TP]
Consistent performer who but lacked the change of gear to cope with a tactical affair when fifth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (12/1) 16 days ago. Form figures at this track read 112 (all in 2024) so shouldn't be underestimated.

| 2nd | 5 | 10 |
Zryan (G)
Solid all-weather performer who resumed progress back in calmer waters at Newcastle (10.2f) just under 3 weeks ago, the emphasis on speed proving no problem. 3 lb rise makes things harder for all the drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue…

Midnight Lion (G)
Has taken his form up a level in recent months, recording his ninth Newcastle success (10.2f) 7 weeks ago, proving he doesn't need to make the running. Should remain competitive from just 2 lb higher.

Eldrickjones (G)
Newcastle winner in December but bit below that level the last twice, few getting involved from off the pace when fourth of 9 here (7.1f) 3 weeks ago. Back up in trip and Oisin Murphy takes over from a 5-lb claimer.

Londoner (G)
[BT1]
In good form but proving very hard to win with, a steady pace not helping him settle when third of 7 in 10f handicap at Newcastle (2/1) just under 3 weeks ago. First-time tongue strap applied and has a first start at 1m for these connectio…

Crack On Boys (C)
Useful effort when scoring at Newcastle last August and back on track when mid-field at Kempton before Christmas (likely to have benefited from a stronger gallop). Not so good returned to former course 5 weeks ago but has at least dropped …

Invited (G)

Won 4 times last year, including over C&D. Rare below-par effort when fifth of 6 in handicap here over 7f (11/1) last month, despite having it easy up front.

Dosman (G)
Kept a bit handier than usual and continued what has been a promising start for new connections when second of 12 at Newcastle a fortnight ago, just failing. Nudged up just 1 lb for that near miss and should again be knocking on the door.

Rogue Encore (G)
[P]
Won at Newcastle last September and picked up where he left off returning from 4-month absence when fifth of 9 back there (18/1) 5 weeks ago, bit short of room over 1f out before rallying. Hasn't run here before but no reason why he won't …
