3rd	1	7	Expressionless (G) P Made the frame on a few occasions last term prior to getting his head back in front in 1¾m Nottingham handicap in October. Performed with credit on latest start over this trip, which was incidentally…	583580	Harry Vigors Dylan Cunha	6	63.5kg	8.50 15/2
1st	2	5	Mao Shang Wong (G) FAV Deservedly opened his account at the eighth attempt when coming from off the pace to land a 1¼m Newcastle handicap recently. 5 lb rise no great hardship and, provided he is able reproduce that level …	027523	C J Whiteley D O'Meara	4	63.5kg	4.50 7/2
5th	3	13	Yokohama (G) Losing run stretches back to September 2023 and, having trailed in last of 10 at Wolverhampton on his latest start, it's easy enough to look elsewhere.	051373	Donagh Murphy J Butler	5	63kg	5.50 9/2
14th	4	1	Bownder (G) Back in the winning groove over this trip at Lingfield in December and has made the frame on 4 of his 5 subsequent starts, most recently going close back at Lingfield last month. Effective on turf, t…	003324	Olivia Tubb J G Portman	4	62.1kg	8 7/1
15th	5	15	Electric Avenue (M) TP Ended last year on a high, recording back-to-back wins at Newcastle in November. However, her form has gone the wrong way in 4 starts this year and others make more appeal.	5-46890	Elle-May Croot I Furtado	6	62.1kg	51 50/1
13th	6	9	Avatar Jet (G) Bagged a 1m Killarney handicap for Mark Fahey in July 2024 and largely acquitted himself well thereafter. 18-month absence to overcome ahead of this British/stable debut but resumes on the same mark …	475567	Harry Smith D Carroll	5	61.7kg	13 12/1
9th	7	3	Up The Jazz (G) Edged down the weights during a winless 2025 campaign and stepped up on low-key reappearance when third in a Wolverhampton handicap (8.6f) earlier this month. 1 lb lower back on turf and he's one to …	275250	Ethan Tindall R A Fahey	5	61.2kg	6 5/1
10th	8	11	Dissident (G) P Left hurdling debut form behind in first-time blinkers when winning 8-runner juvenile at this course in December. Well beaten next 2 starts in that sphere, though, and recent return to the Flat resul…	0-70674	Jude Fernandes G & J Moore	4	61.2kg	51 50/1
2nd	9	12	Glint Of Light (F) H Struck over 1¼m in first-time cheekpieces at Ffos Las last summer before the testing conditions seemingly counted against her at Salisbury when last seen in September (final run for Hughie Morrison).…	8315-25	Ashley Lewis E Smyth-Osbourne	4	60.3kg	13 12/1
8th	10	10	Emery Down (F) P More miss than hit since winning 7f Kempton maiden on her seasonal reappearance last year, finishing well held back there following a break last month when sporting a first-time visor. Cheekpieces re…	426153	Charlie Tucker J Ryan	4	60.3kg	13 12/1
7th	11	6	Hibernate (G) Off the mark when narrowly landing a 5-runner Chepstow handicap over this trip last season. Followed that with a series of good efforts in defeat and, though below par tried in cheekpieces (discarded…	524233	Toby Moore E A L Dunlop	4	59.9kg	21 20/1
4th	12	8	Powerful Response (G) P Losing run continues to mount but has made the frame on 5 of his last half-a-dozen appearances and this 6-y-o remains on a competitive mark. Both turf wins have come on soft/heavy, so further rain wo…	4-45431	Tom Kiely-Marshall G A Harker	6	59kg	12 11/1
11th	13	4	Sovereign Applause (F) TP Yet to trouble the judge following half-a-dozen starts in this sphere and 2 over hurdles, and hopes here pinned on the first-time cheekpieces sparking improvement.	05/83-70	C Horgan R Menzies	4	58.1kg	67 66/1
12th	14	2	Sassy Glory (M) P Belatedly opened her account when landing a 1m Newcastle handicap in decisive fashion in September. Not in the same form next 2 starts, though, and record on turf stands at 0-14.	105192	K S McHugh M Walford	5	55.8kg	26 25/1
6th	15	14	Blackwater Lilly (M) P Modest hurdles winner who hasn't cut much ice in her 7 runs on the Flat.	444635	Shay Farmer B Ellison	6	54.9kg	26 25/1
