| 11th | 1 | 7 |
Sir Les Patterson (G)
Firmly on the upgrade for current yard, landing a pair of Dundalk handicaps in impressive fashion 3 months apart. One to keep on the right side of and has to be taken seriously off top weight.

Valiant Force (C)
[B1]
Smart performer on all-weather who won 3 minor events at Dundalk in 2025 and made the most of a good opportunity on second start for current yard there in February. However, not in the same form back up in grade at Lingfield on most recent…

Heathcliff (G)
Gained reward for his consistency as he ended a long losing run stretching back to 2024 in 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February. Ran even better when second in listed event at Wolverhampton since, though very much to the det…

Ferrous (G)
Completed a hat-trick on all-weather in the first half of 2025 and ran up to his best when second of 7 in 6f handicap at Lingfield in February, nearest finish. Unsuited by the step up in trip when qualifying for this race at Wolverhampton …

Marshman (G)
FAV
Ran very well off top weight when third in the corresponding event 12 months earlier and shaped with more encouragement than of late when third in 8-runner listed event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) last month. Slow starting ways not so much an …

El Bodon (G)
Made it back-to-back 6f handicap wins at Kempton in February, taking his record on all-weather to 3 from 3. However, seemed to be found out by another rise in the weights in a slightly better race at Lingfield since.

Pocklington (H)
FAV
[V]
Enhanced his excellent all-weather record when bagging 13-runner handicap at Southwell (6f, 7/4) on New Year's Day, driven out. Ran even better in defeat in a refitted visor over C&D subsequently and seems sure to go well again.

Sarab Star (C)
Has already built up a good strike rate in his short career, recording a third success when making all in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in November. Found only a well-treated course specialist at the top of his game too good at Kempton …

Berkshire Whisper (G)
Made a fine start to his career, recording a hat-trick in 3-y-o All-Weather Championship race over C&D last spring. Underperformed for pretty much the first time in his life on all-weather over C&D on most recent outing but can bounce back…

So Darn Hot (G)

Wiltshire (G)
[T]
Lightly raced since 2024 but has shaped as if retaining plenty of ability this winter, including when storming home from a poor position over C&D in January. Left poorly placed at Lingfield since and not one to write off in a refitted tong…

Lakers (G)
Making just third start for current yard when scoring readily at Southwell (6.1f) in October and has shaped well both outings since, coming from further back than the other 3 that filled the frame at Lingfield (6f) latest. Bigger field and…
