Charlatan (G)
Won at Wolverhampton over 9f in December. Disappointed next time but swiftly back on track when second of 10 at Chelmsford (10/1) 23 days ago, helped by the strong gallop down in trip. Return to 1m looks ideal.

Fast Bullet (F)
Little impact in handicaps in 2025 and, though she shaped if better for the run after a 3-month break when fifth of 10 at Southwell over 7f (18/1) 30 days ago, her case is far from obvious.

Volendam (F)
FAV
Knocking on the door of a first win, unlucky to bump into a thriving rival when runner-up at Lingfield late last month and clear of the remainder when filling the same position at Southwell (6/1) 16 days ago. Her turn looks imminent.

Mr Fustic (G)
[TV1]
No better than mid-field in 4 starts on all-weather this winter, racing freely when sixth of 12 at Lingfield (10/1) in December. First-time visor now fitted after 10-week break.

Semser (G)
[P]
Unreliable sort who last won at Lingfield in August. Placed over 1m there last month but looked none too keen when only sixth at the same course 11 days ago for all the jockey was banned for failing to take all measures to obtain the best …

Kessaar Power (G)
Won at this C&D in October. Backed into favouritism over 7f here last month, though had to work hard to bag the lead from the widest stall and was given no respite once in front, ending up last of 6. Interesting to see whether market speak…

Shades Of May (G)
Sprung a surprise under the same claimer when getting off the mark at this C&D 9 days ago, doing well to see the trip out after setting a strong pace. Just 2 lb higher here.

Without a win since 2023 and, though placed twice in January, has run poorly in other classified events since.
