| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 1 | 12 |
Phoenix Of Dreams (G)
[H]
Saw out the trip well when third of 12 in a handicap at Southwell (14/1) 20 days ago. Has a useful draw for this slight drop in grade but still seeking first handicap success.
|
Jason Hart | J & S Quinn | 5 | 61.2 kg |

6/1
|
| 4th | 2 | 10 |
Finn Ironside (G)
[T]
Landed a double over C&D in August but has been out of sorts since, including on first run following a breathing operation last month.
|
Elle-May Croot | I Furtado | 5 | 60.8 kg |
15
14/1
|
| 10th | 3 | 9 |
Saisons D'Or (G)
Veteran three-time C&D winner is now below his latest winning mark but hard to be confident given he's failed to beat a rival in 2 starts since returning from a break.
|
J Garritty | Jedd O'Keeffe | 11 | 60.3 kg |
23
22/1
|
| 8th | 4 | 11 |
Ravenscraig Castle (G)
[B]
Has been running creditably over hurdles this winter but makes only his second all-weather start having not won on the Flat since 2021.
|
Cara Tuke | I Jardine | 8 | 60.3 kg |
41
40/1
|
| 6th | 5 | 5 |
Front Gunner (G)
[V1]
Did too much too soon last time but had split a fairly useful pair when beaten a nose over C&D prior to that, and he benefits from the return of a more-experienced apprentice for this first start in a visor.
|
Warren Fentiman | S Hanlon | 5 | 59.9 kg |
7
6/1
|
| 7th | 6 | 7 |
Ey Up He's A Star (G)
Lightly-raced 4-y-o wasn't seen to best effect when bidding to follow up his eye-catching C&D victory last September and would be dangerous if ready to roll following 5 months off.
|
D Nolan | T Coyle & K Wood | 4 | 59.4 kg |
9.50
17/2
|
| 9th | 7 | 4 |
Siviez (F)
Bred to stay further than this but she showed a bit more than previously when third in 5-runner novice at Redcar (66/1) last August and could take another step forward now handicapping.
|
Oliver Stammers | Grant Tuer | 4 | 59.4 kg |
67
66/1
|
| 11th | 8 | 1 |
Pallas Lord (G)
[T]
Bounced back from a poor run to land a fifth C&D success at the end of last month. Draw widest in a better race now, though.
|
Callum Rodriguez | D W Whillans | 8 | 59 kg |
12
11/1
|
| 2nd | 9 | 6 |
Concert Boy (G)
[B]
Has finished fifth in back-to-back handicaps following a fine run of in-frame efforts, though should be more competitive returning to this track.
|
Rowan Scott | K Scott | 6 | 59 kg |
5
4/1
|
| 5th | 10 | 2 |
Operation Gimcrack (G)
Made it two wins from previous 3 starts when successful over C&D last time, though draw could have been kinder for this step up in grade.
|
P Mulrennan | B Smart | 6 | 58.5 kg |

| 3rd | 11 | 8 |
Pit Boss (G)
FAV
[BT]
Strong-travelling sort has placed all 3 starts since shedding a longstanding maiden tag over 6f at this track (would have benefitted from a stronger gallop last time). Looks to be some pace in the race and he should be in the mix again.
|
Billy Garritty | L Bailey | 4 | 58.1 kg |
3.75

Call Glory (G)
Won twice at Southwell in January and arrives following a pair of solid placed efforts in course handicaps, bumping into one at the top of his game latest. Makes appeal for yard among the winners.
|
L Morris | Ian Williams | 5 | 57.2 kg |
