Counsel (G)
[T]
C&D winner who was below form in a refitted tongue strap at Southwell (5f) in January. Drops back in grade following a break.

Mr Lightside (G)
[BT]
Thirteen runs since last win in 2024 but has dropped a long way in the weights and hinted at a revival in a change of headgear (first-time blinkers) at Kempton on most recent outing, ridden too aggressively. Not taken lightly.

Rossa Ryan | M Appleby | 4 | 61.2 kg |

American Bay (G)
FAV
Rather in and out last season but made a pleasing return when third in 7-runner handicap over C&D earlier in the month and excellent chance if building on that.

Billy Loughnane | P T Midgley | 5 | 60.3 kg |

| 6th | 4 | 1 |
Smooth Silesie (M)
Produced a career best back at the minimum trip when making all in 8-runner handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) in October. Off since but solid chance from a 5 lb higher mark if picking up where she left off.

P Cosgrave | L Williamson | 5 | 59.4 kg |

Beaumadier (G)
Produced a career best when making all over C&D in February. Below form both outings subsequently, though.

Storm Call (F)
[B]
Finally off the mark for this yard in first-time blinkers at Redcar in October. However, not in the same form over C&D just over a week later and could well need this first outing in 2026.

Billy Garritty | M & D Easterby | 4 | 57.6 kg |
