|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4th | 1 | 3 |
Charlotte Corday (F)
C&D winner in November. 9/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 32 days ago. In good form prior to that and she's not ruled out.

H Crouch | E Walker | 3 | 60.8 kg |

Fille Imbassee (F)
[H]
Lightly-raced winner. 8/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 59 days ago, easily. 5 lb higher mark to overcome on debut for new yard and that may prove to be a bridge too far.

Rowan Scott | Miss J A Camacho | 3 | 60.3 kg |

Hardstyle (G)
Course winner. Latest win here in January. 5/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 32 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.

Billy Loughnane | G Boughey | 3 | 60.3 kg |

Magician of Riga (C)
FAV
Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, twentieth of 21 in minor event at York (6f, good to firm). Off 6 months and one to note in the betting now moving up in trip for this handicap debut.

S M Levey | R Hannon | 3 | 59.9 kg |

| 2nd | 5 | 4 |
Hamaleel (F)
[P]
Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (17/2) at Kempton (8f) 34 days ago, always holding on. 4 lb rise fair enough and she should be in the mix once again.

Hollie Doyle | A Watson | 3 | 59.9 kg |

| 6th | 6 | 6 |
Lifeguard (G)
Thrice-raced maiden. 5/2, sixth of 12 in novice at Kempton (6f). Off 153 days. Significantly up in trip for this handicap/yard debut and he needs to take a step forward.

J Mitchell | D M Loughnane | 3 | 59 kg |

Betting forecast: Magician of Riga (13/8), Hardstyle (9/4), Charlotte Corday (9/2), Hamaleel (6/1), Fille Imbassee (12/1), Lifeguard (20/1)
