Arishka's Dream (C)
FAV
Much improved when winning maiden at Wolverhampton last month and backed that up when only narrowly denied in 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (5/2) 5 days ago. Has tended to race freely but could still have more to offer in handicaps.

Mighty Vega (G)
[TP]
Winner of a Kempton novice on third start but hasn't kicked on in handicaps since, though caught wide throughout when fifth of 8 at Wolverhampton in January. First run since leaving Lemos De Souza.

K Stott | S Dixon | 3 | 60.8 kg |

| 9th | 3 | 7 |
Elizabetty (F)
[H]
Off the mark in 7f novice at this course in January and confimed that improvement sent handicapping when third of 7 over 1m here 27 days ago, despite having raced freely. Has something to find, though, as she drops back in trip.

Ben Robinson | B Ellison | 3 | 60.8 kg |

Tactical Blitz (G)
Has been going the right way in his 3 starts so far, beaten only by a next-time out winner in 12-runner maiden at Southwell last time. Could be ready to open his account having been gelded ahead of handicap debut.

Hollie Doyle | A Watson | 3 | 60.8 kg |

Espona Bay (G)
Wasn't able to justify favouritism (11/10) but again ran well when second of 9 at Wolverhampton in January, form which has been boosted since. Still looking for a breakthrough victory, though, on first start since leaving Michael Bell.

K T O'Neill | S Dixon | 3 | 59.9 kg |

| 6th | 6 | 11 |
Fille Unique (F)
Modest form when making the frame each of her first 3 starts and ran to a similar level when fifth of 7 in nursery at this course (5f) in November. Improvement required from current mark but looks worth a try at this trip.
|
P Mulrennan | B Smart | 3 | 59.9 kg |

20/1
|
| 8th | 7 | 9 |
Moretons (G)
Encouragement on final 2 starts in 2025 but hasn't looked straightforward this year, hanging badly right when last of 7 at Wolverhampton (5f) a month ago. Headgear discarded having left George Scott.
|
Amie Waugh | S Waugh | 3 | 59 kg |

50/1
|
| 10th | 8 | 4 |
Sparkling Pink (F)
Made a winning nursery debut at Pontefract in July but went backwards from that effort in 3 subsequent outings, eighth of 9 at Leicester when last seen in September.

Jack Nicholls | Adrian Nicholls | 3 | 58.5 kg |

| 3rd | 9 | 1 |
Marra Donna (G)
Unable to justify market support in 2 handicaps this year, though pulled clear of the rest despite still looking green when third of 5 at Southwell (13/8) 22 days ago. Capable of getting involved with good-value claimer on board.
|
Mason Paetel | Ollie Sangster | 3 | 58.5 kg |
4.50
7/2
|
| 7th | 10 | 2 |
Pivotal Terms (F)
Placed once from 5 starts in Ireland last year, but on first run since leaving Joseph G. Murphy she was below form when eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 27 days ago, again racing freely.
|
A Mullen | I Jardine | 3 | 57.6 kg |

| 11th | 11 | 3 |
Lina Codina (F)
[B1]
Failed to make much impact in 4 outings on turf last year and fared no better when last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton on return. Has since left Nigel Tinkler and now tried in blinkers.
