One More (G)
Failed to fire at Meydan last 2 starts but his second at Kempton in October gives him a chance in this company if able to overcome the widest stall. NON RUNNER.

The Dragon King (G)
FAV
Won over C&D in November. Second of 11 at Newcastle in February also a good effort and, though he has his own way of going about things, he's lightly raced at this trip and can make his presence felt back at this venue.

Bellarchi (M)
Won at Musselburgh in October but has run poorly in 3 starts since. Needs to recapture form returning from 4 months off.

I Still Have Faith (G)
Caught wide throughout on first outing for current yard in February but ran a career best when second of 12 in a handicap at Southwell over this trip 28 days ago. Has had very little racing at 7f and is one to consider.

Intervention (G)
[H]
Inconsistent but a 3-time winner over C&D. Finished last of 8 at Kempton 16 days ago when failing to settle with cheekpieces added. That equipment removed and back up in trip.

Society Man (G)
Inconsistent performer who ran badly in first-time cheekpieces last month. Latest fourth of 6 at Chelmsford 13 days ago was better but it's hard to know whether he'll back that effort up here.

An Outlaw's Grace (G)
[P]
Has stood little racing since 2-y-o days and didn't go with any great promise on recent return from 8 months off. Back up in trip but needs to show more. NON RUNNER.

Pietro (G)
Twice a winner in 2025 and finished campaign with good second of 13 at Yarmouth in October. Needs to be at the top of his game faced with a career-high mark on return from 150-day absence.

Dragon Leader (G)
Proved a money spinner as a juvenile but lightly raced and largely underwhelming since. However, caught the eye when well backed over 6f here on belated comeback 2 weeks ago, shaping as if return to 7f will suit. Big shout down in class.

Metaverse (G)
[T1]
Free-going sort who had been shaping well towards the end of last year and ran creditably when third of 12 in a handicap at Southwell over 7f 28 days ago, Worth considering with tongue strap replacing usual hood.

9032-63 | Tom Marquand | D Menuisier | 6 | 60.3 kg |

North View (G)
Won at Chelmsford in January for new connections but found things tougher after a rise for that and appeared to have no excuses last time.

| 2nd | 12 | 1 |
Pressure's On (G)
Second of 8 in a handicap over C&D 11 days ago on return from 5-month break, keeping on without threatening winner too seriously. Should remain competitive but this looks deeper.
