Elegant Erin (M)
A dual 5f Beverley winner last September. Yet to fire in 2 outings this term, ninth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, soft) 25 days ago but is easing in the weights.

Tatterstall (G)
A dual 5f winner in 2024. Only twice raced last August at York and Southwell when well below par. Back from another absence here.

Toca Madera (G)
Winless in 2025 and only ninth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (5f) in August on his final run for Brian Meehan. The market can guide after 8 months off for his yard debut.

Wheels Of Fire (G)

Squealer (G)
Scored at York (5f) last June. Given a considerate return after 6 months off when sixth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good) 17 days ago. Weighted to go well now off a reduced mark.

Brazen Bolt (G)
Dual 5f winner last summer but he ended 2025 below par, just sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) in September. This course scorer could bounce back though after a breathing operation with yard going well.

Sports Coach (G)
Back to winning ways at Southwell in March and has continued in good form, fourth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good) 17 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

American Bay (G)
C&D winner who comes here on the back of a good second of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5f) 39 days ago. Needs considering.

Kinetic Force (G)

Rather lost his way for Des Donovan in 2025 but back to form for his new yard, in the frame in 5f handicaps at Newcastle and Musselburgh this spring. Well in the mix.
