Kotari (G)
Winless since completing a Flat hat-trick in May 2024, though emerged with credit in defeat on a couple of occasions last season. Disappointing back hurdling after a breathing operation on his last 2 starts but he's potentially very well t…

Take The Boat (F)
Capitalised on reduced mark at Wolverhampton in February. In good form since, just denied over a longer trip at Chelmsford in March and again performed creditably when fourth of 12 at Kempton (1½m) 25 days ago. Shortlisted.

Calshot Spit (G)
Scored twice on the level in 2024. Raced only once on the Flat thereafter but scored over hurdles at Fontwell in December. Arrives here after 2 respectable efforts in that sphere, so holds sound place claims.

Beggarman (G)
Thorough stayer who won twice over 1¾m/2m at Ffos Las last summer. Unsuited by the ground when last seen at Newbury and he's now 2 lb below his last winning mark after 6 months off.

Sneaky Blinder (G)
[P]
Won twice at Wolverhampton in the autumn and enhanced his fine record there when just holding on in 7-runner handicap in March. Unsuited by a slow gallop at Lingfield since and no surprise were he to do better here.

Laravie (M)
FAV
[V]
Visored when winning 4 times over hurdles at up to 23f for James Owen last summer. Appealed as a potential improver sporting headgear for the first time on the Flat but was a long way below expectations when fifth of 8 on handicap at Lingf…

Basilette (M)
Has been unreliable but scored twice over hurdles in October and confirmed herself still in decent heart when fourth in that sphere at Lingfield (2m, good) in November. Probably best watched though having first Flat start in well over a ye…

Has gone backwards since stable debut and application of hood last time failed to spark anything more positive.

Golden Samba (F)
Showed more when third of 8 on handicap debut at Bath over this trip in September and might have needed the outing after 7 months off when eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1¾m) 27 days ago. Still relatively unexposed.
