|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8th | 1 | 2 |
Woolridge (G)
[P]
Maiden but 3 runner-up finishes in last 4 starts, most recently in a handicap at Dundalk (10/1) in January, though looked awkward. First run for new connections (sold from Andrew Oliver 13,000 gns in February).

K T O'Neill | S Dixon | 4 | 61.2 kg |

| 4th | 2 | 4 |
Basholo (M)
Bagged a sixth C&D success in November but below par since, eighth of 9 over C&D (25/1) 21 days ago, held up and never a threat.
|
Jason Hart | T Culhane & S Barclay | 7 | 60.3 kg |

14/1

| 2nd | 3 | 8 |
Gustav Graves (G)
Seven-time C&D winner, including in December. Easy to forgive last 2 starts but needs things to drop right given his hold-up style.

Joanna Mason | D Shaw | 8 | 59.4 kg |

Spendmore Lane (F)
FAV
[E]
Finally got off the mark at Chelmsford (3/1) 9 days ago, travelling more efficiently back down in trip. Can remain competitive up 5 lb.

William Pyle | D Loughnane | 4 | 59.4 kg |

| 9th | 5 | 7 |
Phoenix Beach (G)
[P1]
Four-time C&D winner but operating below best of late, third of 7 here (6/1) 3 days ago. First-time headgear applied.
|
Taryn Langley | S Dixon | 7 | 59 kg |

| 6th | 6 | 6 |
Valsharah (G)
[H1]
Long-standing maiden who made an inauspicious start for new connections when beating only one home after refusing to settle at Southwell on return last month. Temperamental but worth a try at this trip at least. Hood applied.
|
Jason Watson | M Appleby | 4 | 59 kg |

9/1
|
| 5th | 7 | 9 |
Papa Don't Preach (G)
[B]
Gained reward for run of in-frame efforts when winning C&D handicap in December. Has shaped as though still in good heart both starts since, though wide draw might not be ideal for one that can race freely.
|
Hollie Doyle | K Frost | 7 | 58.5 kg |

| 3rd | 8 | 5 |
Sonic Si (G)
Made only one appearance in 2025 and all the better for belated return for new yard when close fourth of 8 here (6f) 2 weeks ago, losing third dying strides having raced freely. Entitled to come on again back at 5f.
|
Matthew Slater | A W Carroll | 4 | 58.1 kg |
8
7/1
|
| 7th | 9 | 3 |
Forever Noah (G)
Winner at Chelmsford City in February and good placed efforts over C&D and at Southwell next 2 starts. Has to be taken seriously once again.

P J McDonald | Joey Ramsden | 5 | 57.6 kg |

Betting forecast: Spendmore Lane (3/1), Phoenix Beach (9/2), Forever Noah (5/1), Gustav Graves (13/2), Sonic Si (7/1), Woolridge (17/2), Valsharah (9/1), Basholo (14/1), Papa Don't Preach (16/1)
