| 2nd | 1 | 4 |
Arth's Gold (C)
[B]
Ran up to best from career-low mark when third at Southwell in February but not in same form at Kempton since.

Joe Leavy | R Hannon | 4 | 61.2 kg |

Lednikov (G)
[B]
Three-time winner here last season and was right back to best when taking 10-runner handicap at this course (1¾m, 18/1) 23 days ago. Shortlisted from 8 lb higher.

Elle-May Croot | I Furtado | 8 | 60.8 kg |

7/1

| 5th | 3 | 7 |
Sycamore Gap (G)
Deservedly scored at Newcastle for Rebecca Menzies when last seen in 2024. Worth betting check starting out for new yard after 18 months off.
|
Jason Hart | S Hanlon | 6 | 60.3 kg |
7.50
13/2
|
| 8th | 4 | 3 |
Backer Bilk (G)
Consistent on the whole last winter when trained by Jim & Suzi Best and then James Owen. Returned lame when last seen 7 months ago and is probably best watched after another yard switch.
|
Jack Dace | D Killahena & G McPherson | 4 | 60.3 kg |

| 3rd | 5 | 1 |
Silkies Sib (G)
[V]
Gained reward for consistency when winning at Chelmsford in February. Failed to really settle under an inexperienced amateur last time and should be closer to form here going back up in trip.
|
L Morris | James Owen | 6 | 60.3 kg |

Jack Andrea (G)
FAV
In top form and was better than ever when winning 10-runner handicap (10/3) at this course (11f) 8 days ago on just his second start for John Butler. Another big run expected up in trip.

H Crouch | J Butler | 4 | 59 kg |

| 4th | 7 | 8 |
Yakhabar (G)
[TV]
Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap (18/1) at this C&D 22 days ago, getting first run. Visor reapplied now and overall profile suggests he's not certain to back that up.
|
Billy Garritty | L Bailey | 7 | 57.2 kg |

|
| 10th | 8 | 10 |
Late Claim (M)
[T1]
Winner at Lingfield in December and has finished second 3 times since, including in a minor event at Wolverhampton last month. Not too good in handicap here last time but back down in grade with tongue strap tried.
|
Finlay Bassett | J Mackie | 5 | 56.2 kg |

14/1
|
| 6th | 9 | 2 |
Heartened (F)
[P]
Winner at Newcastle in September and shaped with some encouragement on her first start for 5 months when fourth of 12 in minor event at Newcastle 24 days ago.
|
Cam Hardie | Ollie Pears | 4 | 56.2 kg |
29
28/1
|
| 9th | 10 | 6 |
Easter Sundae (G)
[P]
Remains winless but ran well at huge odds when second at Newcastle in February, first-time headgear presumably the catalyst. Needs to back that up.

Joanna Mason | J S Wainwright | 7 | 54.9 kg |
