Jimmy Speaking (G)
FAV
Better than ever when landing 16-runner Doncaster handicap (7f) on his return last month. Up 4 lb but he can go very well again.

Commander Of Life (G)
Reliable sort who comes here in good nick, third of 9 in 1m handicap at Nottingham 12 days ago. Well in the mix.

Sunriseontheboyne (G)
A 4-time winner at up to 1¼m in Ireland in 2025. Hasn't offered much in 3 outings for his new yard this season, though.

Packetofbiscuits (G)
[B]
Dual C&D winner in February but his more recent form is not nearly so encouraging. Handily weighted if back on his A-game here, though.

State Of Madness (G)
In excellent form for Charlie Clover this winter but yet to fire for his current handler.

King Of Ithaca (G)

Jersey Maverick (G)
[V]
Ended 2025 in very good nick. Looked in need of his reappearance when sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago. Can take a step forward on his tapeta debut.
