Dream Illusion (F)
FAV
In fine form since joining his current yard, scoring over C&D in January and at Southwell in February. Excellent second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 9/2) 4 days ago. This strong traveller merits serious consideration once more off…

How's The Guvnor (G)
[H]
A dual scorer at Southwell and Wolverhampton in January and has continued in good nick, fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 7 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up once more.

Union Island (G)
[P]
Cheekpieces fitted for the 1st time when landing 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 10 days ago. Up 2 lb but not taken lightly with headgear retained.

Jack Sparowe (G)
It's now 16 runs since his last win in 2023 but he got back on track when third of 9 in handicap at this course (10.2f, 9/1) 10 days ago, faring best of those held up. Firmly in the picture.

Lessay (G)
[P]
Arrives in good nick without winning, not enjoying a smooth passage when fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 12/1) 9 days ago. Can make his presence felt.

Billy Loughnane | P Morris | 5 | 60.3 kg |

Asian Journey (G)
[T]
In good form until going too freely in refitted cheekpieces when eighth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 12/1) 4 days ago. Can bounce back with headgear dispensed with.

Corundum (G)
[PT]
Remains a maiden but comes here in good form, third of 10 in 8.6f Wolverhampton handicap a week ago. Well in the mix off an unchanged mark.

Mini Mac (G)
[B1]
Won at Nottingham last spring but ended her time for Christine Dunnett under a cloud and failed to beat a rival for his new handler in 7f Southwell handicap 19 days ago. Blinkers are reached for now.

Wyvern (G)
[P]
A dual C&D winner but he arrives well out of sorts, last of 8 in handicap here (7.1f, 6/1) 5 days ago. Has it to prove at present.

Rock Armour (G)
Course winner but retried in cheekpieces when only tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (12.4f) 77 days ago. Has work to do.
