Charlie Darling (G)
Capitalised on a falling mark to double his career win tally at Tramore in August 2024. Largely held his form later that year and the betting can guide expectations returning for a new yard.

V Power (G)
Off the mark here over 14f in January but ran poorly at Newcastle 10 days later. Stamina to prove trying this trip on the Flat for the first time.

Sneaky Blinder (G)
[P]
Dual C&D winner in the autumn and ran a cracker when runner-up over C&D 4 weeks ago. Presumably found race coming too soon 6 days on at Chelmsford and fancied to go close.

Billy Bathgate (G)
FAV
C&D winner in December but again found a small-field scenario not playing to his strengths when third of 5 at Newcastle (9/2) just over 2 weeks ago. Considered having dropped back to his last winning mark.

Donagh Murphy | Ewan Whillans | 10 | 60.3 kg |

Queensland Boy (G)
[P]
Won twice in spring last year (including over C&D) and possibly needed the run after 9 weeks off when fifth of 8 here (14f) just under a fortnight ago. Better showing anticipated.

Ryan Kavanagh | Ian Williams | 6 | 59.4 kg |

Arenas Del Tiempo (M)
Ended a lengthy losing run at Chelmsford last summer and did enough to think this trip suits when third of 8 there in January.

Jack Dace | J & S Best | 8 | 59 kg |

| 3rd | 7 | 7 |
Belle Of Kt (M)
Has taken his form up a notch in recent weeks, second of 8 here (14f) just under 2 weeks ago, seeing out the longer trip. Upped to 2m and that could well elicit further progress.

Ashley Lewis | J S Moore | 5 | 57.6 kg |

Lion City (G)
Bumper winner at Sedgefield in September 2024 but has shown precious little since, including 4 outings on AW this winter.
