Flowstate (G)
[V]
Back on the up when scoring over 7f at Newcastle early this month and followed up in ready fashion over the same C&D (10/3) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly in hat-trick bid, especially with a promising 7-lb claimer taking over in the saddle…

[B]
Returned to his best when winning 12-runner handicap over C&D (9/1) 8 days ago. Back up 4 lb but not handicapped out of things.

King Of York (G)
[B]
Ended last season in good form and has picked up where he left off this year, recording a fifth C&D success in 12-runner event (8/1) 8 days ago. Can remain competitive at this venue.

Bajan Bandit (G)
[P]
Has continued in good heart since winning over 7f at Newcastle in December, having excuses penultimate start and quickly bouncing back when fourth of 8 at Newcastle (8f, 20/1) on latest. Back down in grade here and fitted with cheekpieces …

Lord Capulet (G)
FAV
Has gone from strength to strength back under more positive tactics this year, completing a hat-trick in a good time at Newcastle (5/4) 9 days ago. Looks ready for this step back up in grade, especially wth a good-value claimer taking over…

Singoura (F)
Sole success came over C&D back in December 2024. However, ended last season on a low-key note and ran poorly after 5 months off in handicap here (12/1) 29 days ago.

Joanna Mason | G Tutty | 4 | 59.9 kg |

Saisons D'Or (G)
Front runner who was successful over C&D last May and at Catterick in August. Shaped as if needing the run when returning from a break 13 days ago and far from certain to get his own way up front.

J Garritty | Jedd O'Keeffe | 11 | 59 kg |

No Knee Never (G)
[PT]
Doubled his tally over this C&D in January and has made the frame back here last 2 starts, respectable fourth behind Packetofbiscuits in 12-runner contest (12/1) 8 days ago. Can give his running here once more.

S H James | James Owen | 5 | 58.5 kg |

Age Of Time (G)
[B]
Has returned to form with placed efforts last 3 starts, beaten only a neck when second of 9 at Newcastle (2/1) 4 days ago. On the same mark here and should again be in the mix despite going back up in grade.
