| 8th | 1 | 5 |
Our Misty Blue (G)
Lightly-raced maiden who resumed from 10 weeks off with a below-par eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 22 days ago. Has work to do.

C Horgan | L A Mullaney | 4 | 61.2 kg |

| 6th | 2 | 7 |
Rainwater (G)
[P]
Course winner who was refitted with cheekpieces when a creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 22 days ago. Can give another good account back up in trip here with headgear retained.

D Nolan | R A Fahey | 5 | 61.2 kg |

Redhot Whisper (G)
[H]
Remains a maiden after 16 runs and he came in last of 9 in handicap here (9.5f, 50/1) 35 days ago. It's easy to look elsewhere.

Lewis Edmunds | A Wintle | 5 | 61.2 kg |

Book Of Life (G)
[P]
Course winner for Ian Williams and arrives in good nick for his current yard, going freely when fourth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 9/1) 27 days ago. Can't be discounted with cheekpieces now back on (has won in them) off an easing …

Ryan Kavanagh | P Morris | 6 | 60.3 kg |

Amber Honey (F)
[B]
C&D winner last May but her more recent form is less encouraging, tried visored when just seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 35 days ago. Usual blinkers fitted here but others remain more persuasive.

Cieren Fallon | E A L Dunlop | 4 | 60.3 kg |

Ardaddy (G)
FAV
Reliable sort who has made a positive start for his current handler, third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 6 days ago. Another bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark.

Alistair Rawlinson | M Appleby | 4 | 59.9 kg |

| 5th | 7 | 6 |
Ana Emaraaty (G)
[B]
Resumed winning ways at Newcastle in January and posted a solid fourth of 8 in 9.5f handicap here 10 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts.
|
P Mulrennan | J S Goldie | 6 | 59.9 kg |

| 1st | 8 | 3 |
Pessoa (G)
A 6-time course winner (including twice over C&D) who comes here in good form, left poorly placed when fifth of 11 in 7f handicap here 18 days ago. Must enter calculations eased 1 lb.
|
Finley Marsh | A Wintle | 7 | 59.9 kg |
13
12/1
|
| 7th | 9 | 11 |
Purple Sky (M)
[T]
A fair 1m2f scorer in Ireland for Jim Bolger but he offered little in a pair of handicaps at Kempton (1m) and over 9.5f here last month. Has plenty to prove at present.
|
William Carson | Joe Ponting | 5 | 59.9 kg |

80/1
|
| 9th | 10 | 1 |
Amarachi (F)
Finished runner-up for the third time in four starts in 2026 when beaten a neck in 1m handicap at Chelmsford City 15 days ago. A likely player once more nudged up 1 lb.

K S McHugh | J Parr | 4 | 59 kg |

| 11th | 11 | 9 |
Bizarre Law (G)
[P]
Course winner but he arrives out of sorts, going without his usual cheekpieces when last of 12 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 50/1) 61 days ago. Needs a subsequent wind operation to spark a resurgence.
