Master Dandy (G)
[BT]
In best for form a while towards the end of January with 2 wins from last 3 starts (just denied the other time). Very weak in the market when running poorly after 6 weeks off at Newcastle 9 days ago.

Reporter (G)
Winner at Windsor in June but respectable efforts at best since. Entitled to be sharper for this after 6 months off.

Running Cool (G)
[P1]
Little impact for Tim Easterby but took a big step back in the right direction when second at Wolverhampton on debut for this yard in September. No show back there on comeback but fared much better when fifth at Newcastle and can come on a…

Forever Noah (G)
[P1]
Winner at Chelmsford in February and good placed efforts at Wolverhampton/Southwell next 2 starts. However, headgear now applied after a lesser effort back at Wolverhampton 18 days ago.

Wedgewood (M)
Better on all-weather, making all at Wolverhampton last April. However, form has been patchy since, below-par sixth over C&D 8 weeks ago. Capable off current mark if on a going day.

Sonic Si (G)
FAV
Made only one appearance in 2025 and all the better for belated return for new yard when close fourth at Wolverhampton. Not seen to best effect there next time and mark has eased again. Player.

Stapleford Park (G)
Nursery winner in September 2024 but has really struggled since, including for this yard.

Coolagh Magic (G)
Has won 5 times here but without success in his last 13, though showed a bit more when a never-nearer fourth over C&D 3 weeks ago. Needs to build on that.

Comedian Leader (M)
Out of sorts since landing a double on turf here in August but has been tumbling in the weights as a result. Worth a market check.

Isla Bella (F)
Going through the motions in classified events this year and not much appeal back in a handicap.
