Runners
| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 1 | 2 |
Down To The Kid (G)
Eight-time course winner who still looked in top form when third under a penalty in higher grade here last time. Makes plenty of appeal.
|
Jason Hart | M Herrington | 7 | 61.2 kg |
4.50
7/2
|
| 6th | 2 | 10 |
Eligible (G)
In the form of his life at the age of 10, having completed the hat-trick with his fifth C&D win (9/2, 8 runners) 28 days ago. Never been on a mark this high before, however.
|
Joanna Mason | M & D Easterby | 10 | 60.8 kg |
17
16/1
|
| 2nd | 3 | 6 |
I Still Have Faith (G)
Second over this trip at Ascot in October (beaten short head) and reappearance/stable debut earlier this month best ignored. Likely to be back to making more of an impact.
|
S M Levey | S C Williams | 6 | 60.8 kg |
12
11/1
|
| 3rd | 4 | 1 |
Metaverse (G)
[H]
Shaped as though ahead of his mark when close second (worried out of it late) at Kempton in December. Keener than ideal last time and needs things to fall right.
|
Billy Loughnane | D Menuisier | 6 | 60.8 kg |
15
14/1
|
| 12th | 5 | 7 |
Secret Guest (G)
Second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (11/2) 38 days ago behind a far superior rival. Not fully exposed at this trip.
|
D Nolan | B Smart | 6 | 60.8 kg |
13
12/1
|
| 10th | 6 | 9 |
Madame De Sevigne (M)
Yet to run a bad race on a synthetic surface, fourth of 11 in a handicap at Kempton most recently. Not the most straightforward but on a handy mark for new yard and jockey booking catches the eye.
|
Oisin Murphy | J Butler | 5 | 60.3 kg |
4.33
10/3
|
| 5th | 7 | 11 |
Bravo Zulu (G)
[P]
Dual C&D winner who ran better than for a while over 10f at Lingfield last time whilst shaping as though that stretched him.
|
J Mitchell | D Loughnane | 5 | 60.3 kg |
26
25/1
|
| 8th | 8 | 5 |
North View (G)
FAV
Underwhelming in 2025 given his 3-y-o form but won with something to spare on stable debut at Chelmsford (11/2) 40 days ago. Can follow up off 4 lb higher.
|
Jack Dace | S C Williams | 5 | 60.3 kg |
4.20
16/5
|
| 7th | 9 | 3 |
Tennessee Gold (G)
Failed to improve for recent run/first-time cheekpieces when fourth behind Down To The Kid over C&D last time but does reoppose on better terms.
|
Daniel Muscutt | J Parr | 5 | 59.9 kg |
13
12/1
|
| 4th | 10 | 8 |
Commander Of Life (G)
In fine heart, runner-up over C&D in January and at Wolverhampton (9.5f) earlier this month. Should remain competitive.
|
Lewis Edmunds | Jessica Macey | 5 | 59.4 kg |
13
12/1
|
| 11th | 11 | 12 |
Echalar (G)
Capitalised on falling mark at Wolverhampton in January (first run since being gelded) but failed to back that up next time and now with a different yard.
|
D Egan | Ian Williams | 4 | 59.4 kg |
34
33/1
|
| 9th | 12 | 4 |
Deauville Blue (G)
Showed ability in useful maiden/valuable sales race as juvenile but has run only once since and plenty to prove on handicap debut.
|
Rob Hornby | J G Portman | 4 | 59 kg |
26
25/1
|
