| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Form | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2nd | 1 | 5 |
Bizou (F)
Promising start in handicaps when third at Kempton last spring but has failed to build on that since and was pulled up at Nottingham on final run of her 2025 campaign.

0P-2116 | Rob Hornby | J G Portman | 4 | 61.2 kg |

Abila (F)
[P1]
Five-race maiden who will need to take a significant step forward with first-time cheekpieces enlisted if she's to make a meaningful impact in this contest.

Danehill Star (G)
FAV
[B]
Back in the winning groove at Lingfield (1m) in February and runner-up over that C&D and at Southwell on his last 2 starts. Another bold show anticipated.

Tiger Beetle (G)
[BT]
Three-time winner over C&D but has largely struggled for present yard and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

6-87357 | R Havlin | T Faulkner | 8 | 59.4 kg |

| 7th | 5 | 11 |
Phyllis Burton (F)
[H1]
There were positives to take from her debut fourth in a 1m Lingfield maiden on debut last spring but she has struggled since, including on return/handicap debut back at Lingfield last month.

455-87 | H Crouch | J Tate | 4 | 59.4 kg |

Wyvern (G)
[P]
Dual winner at Newcastle over the winter but below par of late and he again looks vulnerable. Engaged 8.30 here Monday.

478838 | Paddy Bradley | P Morris | 7 | 59 kg |

| 5th | 7 | 4 |
Knightmare (G)
Remains a maiden and trailed in last of 11 in an 8.6f handicap here a fortnight ago but it's not hard to envisage this 4-y-o making an impact back at what appears to be his optimum trip.

| 6th | 8 | 1 |
Versatile (G)
[P]
One win to his name from 22 career starts and he hasn't shown much in 3 runs since returning from a break last month (visored the last twice). Cheekpieces now refitted and needs a second look in the betting on debut for a yard that has enj…

| 8th | 9 | 9 |
Man Is King (G)
Made winning debut for this yard at Chelmsford (1¼m) in February and placed on 3 of his 4 subsequent starts, latterly when runner up over C&D 2 weeks ago. Likely to be in the mix again, if he takes his chance. Engaged 8.00 here Monday.

Marinakis (G)
[P]
Winner of a C&D classified event last year and back on the scoresheet when striking in a similar contest at Chelmsford in January. Close third of 7 in another race of that type back here recently and he's one to consider.

334688 | Ryan Kavanagh | Ian Williams | 6 | 56.2 kg |

| 9th | 11 | 8 |
The Pug (G)
[B]
Unreliable type who wasn't beaten at all far when fourth in a 9-runner Newcastle handicap (1¼m) earlier this month. However, it's anyone's guess as to whether he'll be in a similar mood this time.

474903 | Aiden Brookes | Micky Hammond | 6 | 54.9 kg |
