Mafting (G)
FAV
Doubled his tally when successful on reappearance at Redcar (1¼m), justifying support in the process, and he races in the same grade despite a 4 lb rise.

Sixpack (G)
[P]
Went close off a 2 lb higher mark at Goodwood last season and ran well to finish third (despite drifting in the betting) on return from 6 months off at Musselburgh. Ticks plenty of boxes and can notch a first win for James Owen.

Pleasant Man (G)
[V]
His run of good form on the all-weather came to a halt at Southwell last time, and it's hard to be confident, returning to the turf for the first time in nearly 2 years.

J Garritty | Joey Ramsden | 8 | 59.4 kg |

Saratoga Gold (G)
[P]
Losing run stretches back to 2023 but finished last year in fine heart when second of 5 in a 2m handicap at Chelmsford. He's equally effective over this trip and ought to be in the mix if ready to roll.

J Mitchell | K Frost | 8 | 57.6 kg |

Tazaman (G)
Versatile sort won twice last season, and he was right at the top of his game when third behind a now useful pair at York in October. Not discounted if returning in similar form, his yard also saddling Saratoga Gold.

Ryan Sexton | K Frost | 9 | 55.3 kg |

Dreams Fled Away (G)
Hinted at a revival when mid-field in a similar event at Newbury last summer but has been off since finishing mid-field in a Doncaster handicap hurdle in late-November.

Betting forecast: Mafting (10/11), Sixpack (9/4), Saratoga Gold (7/1), Pleasant Man (12/1), Tazaman (18/1), Dreams Fled Away (40/1)
