Michaela's Boy (G)
Justified good support when scoring at Lingfield (5f) in January and went close over the same C&D later that month. Found run of good form coming to a halt here last time but couldn't rule out now eased in grade.

Tan Rapido (G)
Successful off a similar mark over C&D last summer and followed that with a fine second at Yarmouth. Ended 2025 with a lesser effort at Leicester but his record on the all-weather is solid and he will have every chance if ready to roll.

Almaty Star (G)
[V]
Consistent handicapper who has made the frame on each of his last 6 starts, most recently finding just one 1 too good in a first-time visor (retained) at Wolverhampton (5f) last month. Entitled to be on the premises once again.

J Mitchell | R M H Cowell | 6 | 58.5 kg |

Nogo's Dream (G)
[P]
Successful 3 times over 5f last year before his old quirks resurfaced. Has acquitted himself well both starts since returning from a break in February but others make more appeal all the same.

Billy Loughnane | R Hughes | 6 | 57.6 kg |

Diomed Spirit (G)
[P1]
Dual C&D winner in 2023 and back on the scoresheet at Lingfield in November. Just respectable efforts since, though, and he's likely to find a few too strong.

Marco Ghiani | S C Williams | 6 | 57.2 kg |

Golden Long (G)
[T]
Winner in Hong Kong and shaped really well for new yard following a 14-month absence when fifth in an 11-runner Southwell handicap (5f) in February. 1 lb lower here and he's high on the shortlist.
|
J F Egan | Lemos Souza | 5 | 57.2 kg |

General Assembly (G)
Recorded back-to-back C&D wins during the autumn and has returned to form the last twice, finishing second in handicaps at Wolverhampton and this course. Needs considering.

D Egan | C Hobson | 5 | 55.3 kg |
