| 2nd | 1 | 4 |
Master Richard (G)
Won twice over 7f last summer but off since posting a solid third of 11 in 7f handicap in October on his final run for Ann Duffield. Needs to hit the ground running for his new yard.

D Nolan | S Hanlon | 7 | 61.2 kg |

Philanthropist (G)
FAV
C&D winner but off the track since a respectable sixth of 11 in 1m handicap at Kempton in August. Has won off a break though so needs considering.
|
Daniel Muscutt | J R Fanshawe | 4 | 60.8 kg |

2/1
|
| 8th | 3 | 8 |
Eligible (G)
Completed a hat-trick at Southwell in January and comes here on the back of a good sixth of 12 in 7f handicap at Southwell 35 days ago, left poorly placed after a very slow start. This C&D winner is a likely player once more.

Joanna Mason | M & D Easterby | 10 | 60.8 kg |

Best Rate (G)
[B]
Consistent sort but it's now 13 runs since his last win in 2024 and he hung right when only sixth of 7 in 7f handicap at Lingfield 41 days ago. Blinkers go back on and he's the sort to bounce back.
|
S M Levey | R Hannon | 4 | 60.3 kg |
12

| 3rd | 5 | 9 |
Mudamer (G)
Landed back-to-back 7f handicaps at Catterick in October but ridden much more patiently when seventh of 9 in 7f handicap at Musselburgh following month. Needs to bounce back after a break.
|
S H James | G A Harker | 7 | 60.3 kg |

| 10th | 6 | 7 |
Benacre (G)
Resumed winning ways over C&D in February and backed it up with a creditable sixth of 12 in 7f handicap at Wolverhampton 28 days ago when doing too much too soon. Possibilities.
|
Oliver Stammers | C Johnston | 6 | 59 kg |
11
10/1
|
| 5th | 7 | 2 |
Cargin Bhui (G)
Gained reward for his consistency when scoring (over 6f) at Wolverhampton and Southwell in February. Advanced his form when second of 10 in 7f Southwell handicap 27 days ago, conceding first run to the winner. That form has been franked so…
|
Lewis Edmunds | T D Barron | 5 | 58.5 kg |
4.50
7/2
|
| 6th | 8 | 11 |
City Captain (G)
Much improved when a four-time winner in 2025, signing off with a ready victory in 13-runner handicap at Pontefract (6f) in October. Up 8lb but not taken lightly given he goes well fresh.
|
Cieren Fallon | H Bethell | 4 | 58.5 kg |
9
8/1
|
| 11th | 9 | 3 |
Beale Street (G)
Arrives on the up and he garnered a fourth course victory in 11-runner handicap here (6f) 15 days ago. Up another 5 lb but he merits consideration once more.
|
P Mulrennan | B Smart | 5 | 58.5 kg |

Flowstate (G)
[V]
Got back on the up with his fourth C&D success in 7-runner handicap 21 days ago. Not out of things despite a 6 lb weights rise.
|
Mark Winn | D O'Meara | 5 | 57.6 kg |

| 1st | 11 | 5 |
Havana Prince (G)
Course winner who resumed from 5 months off with an encouraging third of 10 in 6f handicap here 15 days ago, nearest finish. Can make his presence felt back up in trip.
|
Barry McHugh | T Coyle & K Wood | 5 | 56.7 kg |

Wreck It Ryley (G)
[V]
Ended a losing run at Leicester but he came in last of 10 in 7f handicap at Catterick later in October. Not ruled out in a change of headgear given he has won off a break.
