William Dewhirst (G)
6-time course winner who further underlined his consistency when runner-up in a C&D handicap when last seen this time last year. However, he's a free-going type and may just benefit from the run following 12 months off.

P Mulrennan | B Haslam | 6 | 62.1 kg |

3/1
|
| 5th | 2 | 11 |
Jenever (G)
[P]
Course winner who likely needed the run at Southwell last month and while he isn't the easiest to catch right, he looks to have plenty in his favour eased in grade.

Lewis Edmunds | Jessica Macey | 7 | 61.2 kg |

| 4th | 3 | 9 |
Aisling Oscar (G)
Matched a 30-year modern-day record of 8 straight handicap wins when scoring at Southwell early last month and did enough to suggest he's still in form in better race at this track last time. Makes rare start over 6f but forecast strong pa…

O McSweeney | A Keatley | 5 | 60.8 kg |

| 8th | 4 | 6 |
Trilby (G)
[T]
Ended turf season in fine heart, hitting the frame in 4 consecutive handicaps. Has won off a break previously and needs considering with sights lowered.

O J Orr | S England | 6 | 59.9 kg |

Grant Wood (G)
FAV
Returned to form when making a winning reappearance over C&D last month and while this is a better race, he remains fairly treated on old form.
|
D Nolan | P T Midgley | 7 | 59.4 kg |
3.50
5/2
|
| 9th | 6 | 2 |
Dorney Lake (G)
[T]
Nowhere near his useful best for current connections but there have been signs of a revival here recently.

Billy Garritty | L Bailey | 5 | 59 kg |

| 2nd | 7 | 7 |
Ziggy's Condor (G)
[V]
Won a similar C&D handicap in January. Well held both starts since, though his latest run can be forgiven (raced wide), and he has a better draw this time.

Warren Fentiman | R A Fahey | 5 | 58.5 kg |

| 3rd | 8 | 8 |
Havana Prince (G)
Won twice on turf last year and while his sole all-weather win came over C&D, he typically needs his reappearance run.

Barry McHugh | T Coyle & K Wood | 5 | 58.5 kg |

40/1
|
| 7th | 9 | 5 |
Kings Merchant (G)
4-time winner for previous yard but failed to build on promise shown on turf when finishing last over 7f at this track in September. Market can guide following 165 days off.
|
Cam Hardie | P A Kirby | 5 | 57.2 kg |

33/1
|
| 6th | 10 | 1 |
Judgment Call (G)
Back to winning ways in 6f Southwell handicap on Tuesday. Will find this tougher under a penalty but does have a good record over C&D.
|
D Allan | Miss L A Perratt | 8 | 58.5 kg |
5.50
9/2
|
| 10th | 11 | 4 |
Federal Envoy (G)
Below form both starts since the turn of the year and this a stronger race than he need contest.
