Runners
| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6th | 1 | 3 |
Rory's Royale (G)
[P]
Made the frame in first-time headgear on his second handicap start at Kempton last month but doesn't look to be improving.
|
Tom Marquand | S Hodgson | 4 | 61.2 kg |

|
| 5th | 2 | 1 |
My Boy Harry (G)
[B]
Proved himself still in fine heart when third of 7 at Kempton earlier this month following a couple of wins this year but may again be anchored by a career-high mark.
|
Finley Marsh | J & S Best | 4 | 60.8 kg |

| 3rd | 3 | 4 |
U S S Constitution (G)
FAV
Justified support when capitalising on a very lenient mark at Kempton 24 days ago on return to Britain and a 7 lb rise is unlikely to prevent a follow-up.
|
H Crouch | E Walker | 6 | 59.9 kg |

10/11
|
| 2nd | 4 | 2 |
Royal Jet (G)
[H]
At the top of his game, winning 4 of his last 5 starts (twice at this course), and another good run expected even though the rise in grade makes life a bit tougher.
|
William Carson | A W Carroll | 6 | 59.4 kg |

3/1

| 1st | 5 | 8 |
Dandy Khan (F)
[P]
Four-time course winner. Disappointed away from this track last time but can bounce back for the return of headgear/Billy Loughnane.
|
Billy Loughnane | J R Boyle | 4 | 59 kg |

Northern Attitude (F)
Ran better than on previous start when sixth of 12 at Southwell (9/1) 8 days ago but remains a long-standing maiden. NON RUNNER.
|
Non Runner | Joey Ramsden | 4 | 59 kg |

7/1

| 7th | 7 | 5 |
Mighty Ruler (G)
[P]
Off the mark in lower grade here in January. Had no excuses when below par at Wolverhampton last time, however.

Paddy Bradley | M J Attwater | 4 | 57.6 kg |

Roman Emperor (G)

Went close over C&D in December but hasn't troubled the judge since.
