Eazy On The Eye (F)
Without a win last year but wasn't seen to best effect on last 2 outings, unsuited by a sharp 7f when sixth of 7 in handicap at Chester (5/1) in September. Very much shaped as if needing the run on return at Kempton last month and possible…

Present Times (G)
[B1E1]
Fairly useful winner at 2 yrs for Charlie Appleby but struggled in handicaps for current yard last season. Eyeshields and blinkers on go after 118-day absence.

Ernie's Valentine (G)
FAV
Largely consistent this winter, winning over C&D in November and runner-up at Southwell in January. Rare poor effort at latter track last time but is the type to bounce back with fully-fledged rider replacing regular 7-lb claimer.

J Mitchell | R Burdon | 7 | 60.8 kg |

| 2nd | 4 | 1 |
Eagle Day (G)
Four-time winner here but it's some time since he's troubled the judge, albeit not completely disgraced when ninth of 10 over C&D last month.

Rossa Ryan | P D Evans | 6 | 60.3 kg |

| 3rd | 5 | 4 |
Up The Jazz (G)
Edged down the weights in a winless 2025 campaign and was very fresh when eighth of 9 on seasonal return at Newcastle last month. This should reveal more.

Harry Russell | R A Fahey | 5 | 59.9 kg |

| 9th | 6 | 10 |
Jewel Maker (G)
Veteran scored twice in a patchy 2025 campaign, the latter coming at Redcar in October. Doesn't have the greatest of records fresh and is opposable drawn wide on return from 3 months off.

D Allan | T D Easterby | 11 | 59.9 kg |

Poetic Force (G)
[B]
Grand servant who rolled back the years when winning for the sixth time over C&D in February. Backed that up with another fine effort fitted with blinkers to finish runner-up in a 6-runner race at Lingfield (7f, all-weather) 2 weeks ago an…

Riyadh Gem (G)
[P]
Inconsistent performer who has posted just one decent effort for her current yard this winter. Others preferred coming back from a break. Also engaged Newcastle 5.25 Thursday.

Callum Shepherd | Faye Bramley | 4 | 59 kg |

8/1

| 6th | 9 | 2 |
Fire Eyes (M)
Held form well for the bulk of last season, notching a deserved third win of the year at Redcar in November. Likely found race coming too soon after just 3 days off on next start. Has run well after a break, so not discounted after 4-month…

Mark Winn | Roger Fell | 8 | 58.5 kg |

| 5th | 10 | 9 |
Coloane (M)
Winner at Southwell in September and made the frame on 3 of her 5 starts later that year. Back up in grade here but not discounted returning from 108 days off.

Connor Beasley | Roger Fell | 6 | 56.7 kg |
