Gaucher (G)
[T]
Smart hurdler who has taken well to all-weather in recent months, winning at Dundalk in December (handicap) and February (minor event, improving for drop down in trip when beating A Piece of Heaven by 5½ lengths). This obviously tougher, b…

Paradias (G)
Smart handicapper who has been a tremendous horse for connections and looked as good as ever when winning a sixth handicap of his career at Lingfield in February. Finished fourth in this last year and no reason to think he won't be competi…

King's Code (G)
[B]
Has enjoyed a highly productive all-weather season but last 3 starts suggest he's got no room for manoeuvre from his revised mark. Blinkers reapplied.

Teumessias Fox (G)
Won the Rosebery at Kempton last spring but hasn't won in 8 runs since and was never out of last having been slowly into stride in 3-runner conditions stakes at Lingfield a couple of months ago.

Regal Ulixes (G)
FAV
[H]
Dual novice winner who was too free to justify support on handicap debut/reappearance but made no mistake with a hood reapplied at Lingfield in February. Caught further back than ideal and remained in top form when sixth of 12 at Wolverham…

Brasil Power (G)
[T]
Successful on 3 of last 4 starts in 2025 and remained in good form stepping up further in trip this year, resuming winning ways in decisive fashion at Wolverhampton last month. Found a few returning better handicapped at Kempton a fortnigh…

Antrim (G)
[P]
Useful handicapper who built up a good record on synthetics in Britain and got back on the up with an impressive success on first dirt start in Meydan in January. Easy to excuse his latest effort there in February (badly hampered entering …

Duke's Command (G)
Won 3 times last season, including at Lingfield in December. Looked a shade rusty after a 2-month break there in February and wasn't seen to best effect at Wolverhampton subsequently, left poorly placed out wide.

Bragbor (G)
Consistent sort won twice from 5 stars for George Scott (sold for 50,000 gns) and improved on stable debut when just failing to get past a 3-y-o that had the run of things over C&D in November. Shaped better than result at Chelmsford later…

Nolton Cross (G)
Defied a near 2-year absence when just holding on at Wolverhampton handicap (12/1) in February and has gone close when fourth on both subsequent outings. Can't be faulted for his consistency so shouldn't be underestimated.

Jason Hart | H Palmer | 7 | 55.8 kg |

| 9th | 11 | 8 |
Parlando (G)
Back to form when ready winner at Chelmsford in December and has little trouble defying a penalty at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day. Easy to excuse overseas run in February and was back to his best when third of 9 at Kempton last month. Shoul…

The Glen Rovers (G)
Added another win to his tally at Lingfield early last year. Seen the track just 3 times since, below form without any excuse at Chelmsford just over 3 weeks ago. Others more appealing.

S D Bowen | L Wadham | 7 | 54.4 kg |

| 11th | 13 | 7 |
Zryan (G)
Reliable sort who scored at Wolverhampton in December and seemed well suited by the emphasis on speed when doubling his tally for the winter over C&D in January. Has held his form on both subsequent outings but doesn't have much in hand fr…

Midnight Lion (G)
Has taken his form up a level in recent months, recording his ninth course success on New Year's Day, proving he doesn't need to make the running. Found things more competitive in a class 3 at Southwell the following month and this is toug…
