|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9th | 1 | 6 |
Bernard Spierpoint (G)
[B]
Three-time 5f winner in 2024 who largely failed to fire last year. Never figured after 6 months off following another yard switch here 2 weeks ago and he's best watched at present.

| 11th | 2 | 11 |
Bernie The Bear (G)
[P]
On a long losing run but managed to hit the frame for third consecutive race when fourth in a C&D classified stakes here last time. However, widest stall to operate from on this occasion. Engaged 5.25 here Monday.

28/1

| 6th | 3 | 8 |
Big Time Rascal (G)
Caused a surprise when shedding maiden tag at Brighton (6f) in May but proved more miss than hit on turf thereafter. Drops in class on return from 6 months off.

5-62241 | Charles Bishop | M J Attwater | 5 | 61.2 kg |

| 3rd | 4 | 5 |
Black Cab (G)
C&D winner on final start for Jamie Osborne last spring and posted easily best effort since (after 4 months off) when second in a C&D classified contest 2 weeks ago. Now his task is to back that up.
|
489-231 | Saffie Osborne | Mrs A C Hamilton | 5 | 61.2 kg |

| 1st | 5 | 3 |
Dr Ali (G)
[P]
Off the mark at eighteenth attempt at Kempton in January and quickly put a lesser effort behind when runner-up over C&D 2 weeks ago, not going down without a fight once headed. A repeat gives him sound claims from a handy draw.
|
721665 | Jonny Peate | J R Jenkins | 4 | 61.2 kg |
3.25
9/4
|
| 4th | 6 | 4 |
Lynwood Lad (G)
Hasn't kicked on from a respectable reappearance at Chelmsford in January and others arrive with more pressing claims.
|
588475 | Paddy Bradley | G & J Moore | 6 | 61.2 kg |

20/1
|
| 10th | 7 | 10 |
My Mate Beattie (F)
[P]
Remains a maiden after 21 runs but best not judged on last month's run over 7f here, clearly not 100% and heavily eased off. Still, a minor role probably best she can hope for.
|
690685 | K T O'Neill | S Dixon | 4 | 61.2 kg |
51
50/1
|
| 7th | 8 | 9 |
Port Hedland (G)
[H]
Stepped up markedly on comeback run when third over C&D and not disgraced when staying on fourth over 5f here on latest outing 17 days ago. Return to further will hold no fears and he's one to consider.
|
579618 | Jack Doughty | A W Carroll | 5 | 61.2 kg |

12/1
|
| 8th | 9 | 7 |
Stroxx (G)
[B]
Third in a classified contest over 5f at Newcastle in January but below form all 3 starts since. Blinkers back on.
|
003766 | Billy Garritty | L Bailey | 9 | 61.2 kg |

| 2nd | 10 | 1 |
Tommytwohoots (G)
Infrequent winner who posted one of his better efforts in a refitted visor when second of 7 in classified stake at Chelmsford (6f) in January. Consistency not his strong point but joined a yard who have been enjoying a good spell.

962240 | Alistair Rawlinson | J Mackie | 8 | 61.2 kg |

Walking On Clouds (G)
FAV
[P]
Lightly raced on the back of his C&D victory in December 2024 and struggled to make an impact in recent months. Others preferred.
