Stanley Spencer (G)
[B]
C&D winner who got back on track when second of 10 in handicap over C&D 28 days ago. Should continue to give a good account off the same mark.

Beaujolais Nouveau (F)
Ended 2025 out of sorts and beat only one on her return in handicap at Thirsk (7f) 12 days ago. Makes her tapeta debut with something to prove.

Roberto Caro (G)
[T]
In very good nick in 2026, just edged out when fourth of 16 in handicap at Ripon (6f) 14 days ago. Merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark.

Station X (G)
FAV
Winless since 2024 but back this season in good form, a close third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) last month. Not taken lightly in his current mood.

Alondra (F)
Started 2026 with a pair of 5f wins at Wolverhampton in February but below that form of late, third of 6 back at Wolverhampton (5f) 13 days ago. This course scorer needs to get back on track.

Tough Enough (G)
It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2023 and he came in last of 12 in 7f handicap here 116 days. Lots more is required after a break.
