|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9th | 1 | 1 |
Daddy Chill (G)
[P1]
Yet to offer any positives since joining this yard, including in terms of attitude (hung badly right and unseated rider penultimate outing). Dropped 5 lb and first-time cheekpieces reached for.

Callum Hutchinson | P R Chamings | 4 | 61.2 kg |

| 3rd | 2 | 9 |
Homme De Fer (G)
Yet to finish out of the frame since switching to all-weather and looks set to give his running once more, though both his wins have come at 7f so may just prove vulnerable late on for win purposes.

William Carson | A W Carroll | 5 | 60.8 kg |

| 5th | 3 | 6 |
Whiskey Sunrise (G)
Ran best race when unlucky nose second of 11 in a handicap over C&D in January. Closely matched with the reliable Homme De Fer on that run and is one to consider.

Paddy Bradley | P Phelan | 4 | 60.3 kg |

Timely Affair (G)
FAV
Won a classified stakes at Southwell in January. Shade disappointing on the face of it when fifth of 12 in a handicap there (1/1F) last time, but that race is beginning to work out well and he retains potential at this level so is one to s…

Harry Don't Bite (G)
Down the field at big prices all 4 starts, including in handicap last time. Hard to fancy.

Aim For The Bull (G)
[P]
Finally broke maiden in a classified stakes at Southwell over 7f in February but was only 7th of 9 in a handicap there 14 days ago. Plenty to find back up in trip.

Callum Shepherd | M Murphy | 4 | 59.4 kg |

Unknown Journey (G)
[H1]
Second of 8 at Lingfield 28 days ago but couldn't back that up when only seventh of 12 at Wolverhampton 15 days ago. First-time hood applied and plenty more needed back in handicap company.

Marco Ghiani | A W Carroll | 4 | 58.5 kg |

Resilient Lady (F)
[B]
Little to be positive about this year and another change of headgear is unlikely to work the oracle.

| 6th | 9 | 7 |
Petra Grey (M)
[B]
Wasn't disgraced when sixth of 11 in classified stakes over 7f here 21 days ago, plugging on. Step back up to 1m should be in her favour here but still looks to have plenty to find.
