Judicial Deference (G)
[T]
Point winner who landed a Musselburgh maiden before bagging back-to-back handicaps at Haydock and over further here in 2026. Up another 5 lb but he has further improvement to come so is very much one to consider.

Baratablet (G)

Scored in good style at Newcastle in December and not disgraced dropped back to 2m when fifth of 9 in another handicap there 4 weeks ago. In the mix back up in trip.

Captain Butler (G)
Point winner who landed a maiden hurdle here for Pauline Robson. Made a good start for this yard when runner-up at Ayr and got back on track after a stint chasing when fifth in 2m Haydock handicap in January. Player off a handy-looking mar…

Kingston Narcissus (G)
[V1T]
Returned to winning ways (tongue tied) at Sedgefield on Boxing Day but he turned in a rare poor effort at Catterick last month. Visor now added.

Bathgate (G)
Gained a third win of the season at Catterick (19f) in February but he reportedly bled when a well-held sixth back there 25 days ago.

Speiriuil (M)
[P]
Course winner for her new yard in December and she followed it up with a career-best victory in 12-runner handicap at Musselburgh last month. Up another 6 lb but she's not taken lightly in her current mood.

Ryan Mania | A Nicol | 6 | 71.7 kg |

| 7th | 8 | — |
Eloi Du Puy (G)
[P]
A 3-time C&D winner who comes here on the back of a gutsy success in 11-runner handicap at Ayr 26 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts once more.

Bruce Lynn | N W Alexander | 8 | 71.2 kg |

| 2nd | 9 | — |
Jericoacoara (G)
Useful in France and back to form of late, third of 11 to Eloi du Puy in handicap hurdle at Ayr 26 days ago. Can make his presence felt off eased 1 lb.

Coconut Splash (G)
[V]
Winless since 2020 but he got back on track after a breathing operation (also visored) when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ayr 15 days ago. Up 6 lb but this veteran is one to consider with the headgear retained.

Mr Kit Alexander | N W Alexander | 11 | 68.9 kg |

Rauzan (G)
[P]
Fairly useful at his best for Eoin Doyle in Ireland but yet to fire in 4 runs for present connections, well beaten in Catterick handicap in January. Lots more is needed in refitted cheekpieces after a break.

Brookside La (G)
Six-figure buy as a store and he made a winning handicap debut at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Excellent third of 17 in Haydock handicap (form been franked) following month. Capable of better still after a break so he merits serious considerati…

The Navigator (G)
A 4-time C&D winner but he looked rusty after 4 months off when pulled up in handicap at Ayr 26 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward here.

Mountain Molly (M)
[P1]
Landed a Perth novice in October and got back on track returned to this sphere after a spell chasing when fifth of 11 to Eloi du Puy in handicap at Ayr 26 days ago. Not out of things from an easing mark with cheekpieces added.

P W Wadge | L Russell & M Scudamore | 7 | 68 kg |

Rock Dj (G)
Lightly raced and posted his best effort on his handicap debut when fourth of 11 at Ayr in January over this trip. May do better still after a break.

Wasthatok (G)
[T]
Ready scorer at Newcastle over this trip in November and he comes here on the back of a breakthrough Flat victory at Wolverhampton (2m) 11 days ago. This looks too tough.
