| 7th | 1 | 7 |
Pension Pot (G)
Lightly-raced maiden who resumed from 6 months off with a good fifth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (1m, good to soft) 14 days ago. Not ruled out with that run under his belt.

Law Supreme (G)
FAV
[PT]
In fine form this season and gained a third win at Bath in April. Posted another good effort when fourth of 14 at Nottingham (1¼m, good to soft) 14 days ago so he's a player.

Ryan Kavanagh | Ian Williams | 7 | 61.2 kg |

| 1st | 3 | 8 |
Rising Force (G)
Consistent sort who landed 1m amateurs handicap at Doncaster in March. Came in last of 13 at Southwell (1m) since but he's the sort to bounce back.

Jack Callan | J Butler | 5 | 60.3 kg |

| 9th | 4 | 2 |
Lightning Galaxy (G)
Ended 2025 under a cloud, last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) in November. Lots more is required.

Connor Beasley | M Dods | 4 | 59 kg |

Thats My Boy Luke (G)
[B]
A dual 1m winner at Ripon last summer. Only eighth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (1m) final start so he needs to bounce back after 6 months off.
|
Sean Kirrane | T D Easterby | 5 | 58.5 kg |

Sunny Orange (G)
[P]
Gained a fourth success at Beverley in 8-runner handicap (1m) 9 days ago. Enters calculations despite taking a 4 lb rise.
|
D Fentiman | T D Easterby | 6 | 57.6 kg |

8/1
|
| 6th | 7 | 3 |
Front Gunner (G)
Yet to score this season and he was tried in a visor when sixth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 51 days ago. Mark is easing and headgear is quickly dispensed with.
|
C J Whiteley | S Hanlon | 5 | 57.2 kg |

Kiss Me My Love (F)

Arrived in decent form, fifth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (1m, good) 7 days ago.

Off Spin (G)
[T]
Still a maiden and he finished last of 11 in handicap at Southwell in November. Others appeal more.
