Elvetham (G)
[B1]
Made a winning return over this trip at Kempton last month. Not been in same form since, though, and is now tried in blinkers.

Lethal Blast (M)
[P]
Course winner for John Bridger but not seen for almost 4 years and hard to know what to expect on return/debut for new yard.

Non Runner | A Irvine | 9 | 61.2 kg |

| 2nd | 3 | 7 |
Southbank (G)
Knuckled down well to win over this trip at Kempton in October and has remained in good form since, making the frame again when fourth of 7 in handicap over C&D 64 days ago. Likely player.

William Carson | C Gordon | 5 | 61.2 kg |

Manhattan Chute (G)
[P]
Sprung a 50/1 surprise here (5f) in January but hasn't beaten a rival in his 4 outings since. Hard to recommend.

Top Star (G)
[P1]
Stepped up on his return when second at Southwell (5f) in February and ran to similar level when runner-up over this trip at Wolverhampton last month. Not in same form latest but return to 6f should see him in a better light.

K T O'Neill | D K Ivory | 4 | 59 kg |

Haziym (G)
[H]
Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs and not for first time was very slowly away at Kempton latest. Makes limited appeal.

Horus (G)
[TP]
Sole success came here back in 2024 and has tumbled down the weights since. No signs of a revival for new connections at Kempton 36 days ago, however. Tongue strap/cheekpieces back on.

| 5th | 8 | 6 |
Molly Marine (F)
Hasn't been able to match her modest debut form in 4 outings since, including tried over longer trip the last twice. Improvement required.

| 3rd | 9 | 10 |
Walking On Clouds (G)
Well supported and offered more than of late when creditable fifth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6f) 37 days ago. Claims if building on that.

Poetic Jack (G)
FAV
[V]
C&D winner who has largely acquitted himself well this year, latest when fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 15 days ago. Steps back up in trip and likely to be in the mix again.

Hollie Doyle | R M H Cowell | 6 | 57.2 kg |

| 6th | 11 | 8 |
Little Miss Magic (M)
[V]
Posted solid third at Chelmsford earlier this year but has failed to build on that in a couple of outings since and remains one to treat with caution (slow starter). 1 lb out of the handicap.

Charlie Tucker | P R Chamings | 5 | 57.2 kg |

| 9th | 12 | 2 |
Bluesy Moon (F)
[P]
Limited ability shown in 16 starts without a win and application of visor had little effect at Bath when last seen in October. Cheekpieces back on. 1 lb out of the handicap.
