Storm Star (G)
Improved again to complete Newcastle hat-trick last year. Shaped as if retaining ability first 2 starts over winter but has underperformed the last twice, most recently in All-Weather Championships Mile which he won last season. Bounce bac…

Greek Order (G)
FAV
Underperformed during US stint but quickly found top form back in Britain last year, hitting the frame in a trio of top-end handicaps (including Royal Hunt Cup). Lost his way towards the end of last campaign and was too free on return at D…

Colombier (G)
FAV
4-time winner in France who looks on a good opening mark judged on the pick of that form and has joined a yard that's going well. Could be worth chancing on his first outing for 15 months.

Dosman (G)
Gained reward after promising start for new connections when winning at Southwell in clear-cut fashion. Has held his form on both subsequent starts, looking unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of 14 in All-Weather Championships Mile l…

Angel Hunter (C)
[B]
Hard to predict but put his best foot forward to resume winning ways with a career-best effort in 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m) last month, staying on to lead post. Not certain to back that up returned to turf given overall record.

Tilted Kilt (G)
[P]
Mostly campaigned at a higher level as a 3-y-o and took advantage of an easier task after 6 months off when winning 6-runner handicap at Southwell (1m) just over 3 weeks ago, adding to a good record when fresh. Task is to now back that up …

Saytarr (G)
Thriving for new yard, completing the hat-trick in 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (1m) 5 weeks ago, the strong pace assisting with how easily he got into contention. Up just 4 lb for his latest success and will be a danger to all if trans…

Herculeus (G)
Won two handicaps on turf last year showing useful form. Tailed off on his final couple of starts though (all-weather debut latest), so returns with a bit to prove.

Dapper Guest (G)
[P]
Registered 3 victories over 7f last year but shaped as if needing the run after 4 months off at Newmarket recently. Cheekpieces reapplied for his first crack at 1m.

Harry Burns | G G Margarson | 4 | 58.5 kg |

Dingle (G)
Proved as good as ever when successful at Newcastle in January and back to his best when ½-length third of 12 to Angel Hunter at Lingfield (1m) last month. All his wins have come on all-weather and he still has plenty to prove on turf.

Christian Howarth | Miss J A Camacho | 8 | 57.6 kg |

| 1st | 11 | 6 |
Joolianoss (G)
Started 2025 with 3 AW wins. Ran well when second of 8 at Kempton (1m) back in January and he seems to be building up to something. Does need to prove himself on turf, however.
