| 2nd | 1 | 6 |
Alpine Sierra (G)
Failed to win in 2025 but made the frame twice over 1¼m here to start the current year. Not in same form dropped back to 1m on last 2 runs but this assignment appears more suitable and drop in grade another plus.

Arranmore (G)
[TP]
Ended a near 4-year losing run in a change of headgear over C&D in August. Disappointed on turf final 2 starts but has seemingly been working his way back to full fitness in 2 all-weather runs since returning from a break.

Celebrating Ethel (M)
[B1]
Struggled since winning at Brighton in August but she did at least stop the slide when fourth in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 24 days ago. Now her task is to build on that effort with blinkers on 1st time.

Falaise Blanc (G)
[B]
Gained breakthrough success over C&D in August and filled runner-up spot on 2 of 3 starts thereafter back on turf. Proved too keen when down the field at Redcar final start but he's no forlorn hope on this return to action.

Greg Fairley | K Scott | 4 | 61.2 kg |

Heartened (F)
[P]
Winner over C&D in September and ran to a similar level when third back here next time. Never dangerous when midfield at Southwell a month later but she's another not out of things returning from a break in an open heat.

Cam Hardie | Ollie Pears | 4 | 61.2 kg |

Millbuie (G)
[B]
Long-standing maiden who, despite not being seen to best effect, ran one of his better races when a length fourth in a classified contest at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 17 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces but not sure to be in same form.

Rowan Scott | Ewan Whillans | 5 | 61.2 kg |

| 3rd | 7 | 1 |
Myna (G)
[H]
Broke his maiden tag in similar event at Lingfield (10f) in January and with his next run easily overlooked, he was quickly back to form when edged out only late on at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 17 days ago. Respected as an in-form sort.

Regal Glory (M)
FAV
[P]
Just the one win to her name from 32 starts but she wasn't seen to best effect returning from an absence when fourth in similar company at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last month. That backs up previous impression she has a small race in her for t…

Rock Armour (G)
[B]
C&D winner this time last year but out of sorts this time around, never threatening in a 1m handicap here 16 days ago. Steps back up to a more suitable trip if refitting of blinkers can help.

Dylan Hogan | D Thompson | 5 | 61.2 kg |

| 6th | 10 | 4 |
Sir Maxi (G)
[B]
Shaped as if back in form with in-the-frame efforts over 1m here on last 2 starts. However, didn't convince with his stamina for this trip on sole previous try in January.

Billy Garritty | S England | 8 | 61.2 kg |

| 1st | 12 | 11 |
Wicklow Way (G)
Standout effort though probably flattered (modest form) when fifth in minor event at Catterick in spring of last year but never figured thereafter. Down further in class for return.
