| 9th | 1 | 5 |
Velvet Skies (G)
[P1]
Placed 3 times at Dundalk at the turn of the year for Michael Mulvany. Excuses on stable debut here but didn't look the easiest conveyance when eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 11 days ago. Connections now opt for fitting of cheek…

Federal Envoy (G)
Three-time C&D winner but out of sorts for a while now and passed over until displaying more positive signs.

Cuban Girl (F)
[H]
Off the mark at Brighton in June and finished second at Ffos Las (1m, soft) on her final run for Andrew Balding. Changed hands for 32,000 gns but disappointed both starts for new stable thereafter. Needs to bounce back returning from 6 mon…

Camera Shy (G)
[T]
Got on top close home in an 11-runner C&D handicap on penultimate start and ran respectably from 3 lb higher mark when seventh at Newcastle (7f) 11 days ago. Not ruled out despite a potentially tricky draw.

Daniel Muscutt | M Dods | 4 | 60.8 kg |

| 8th | 5 | 6 |
Raft Up (G)
[H]
Won 3 times over 6f during 2025 and back to that sort of form in refitted hood of late, chasing home the prolific Yorkshire Glory at Newcastle 4 weeks ago. Step up to 7f worth exploring on that evidence and he's one to consider.

Alistair Rawlinson | H Bethell | 5 | 60.8 kg |

Reginald Charles (G)
FAV
Back to winning ways in 14-runner C&D handicap in December, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Another respectable effort when sixth behind Fools Rush In over same C&D in February and this consistent sort is one to consider.

P J McDonald | G R Oldroyd | 6 | 60.3 kg |

King David (G)
[B]
Arrives on a lengthy losing run and he held every chance ridden positively when fourth in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 12 days ago. Can give another good account with tongue tie now discarded.

L Morris | Miss Gay Kelleway | 5 | 59.9 kg |

Moby Quick (G)
[V1]
Sole success came over 6f at Leicester last summer when trained by George Scott. Hasn't been able to match that level for current yard yet, though. First-time visor now reached for.

P Cosgrave | P D Evans | 4 | 59.9 kg |

| 1st | 9 | 2 |
Wrydcroft (G)
Landed back-to-back 7f handicaps at Leicester in the autumn and excuses on account of much softer ground/step back up in trip when well held at Nottingham final start. No surprise to see him resume progress as a 4-y-o.

Callum Shepherd | Mrs P Sly | 4 | 59.4 kg |

| 2nd | 10 | 13 |
Bomb Squad (G)
[P]
Consistent 8-y-o who recorded another narrow success at Wolverhampton (7f) on penultimate start. Left poorly placed when sixth back at that C&D 3 weeks ago but another with a less-than-ideal draw to contend with on this occasion.

Billy Loughnane | J Mackie | 8 | 59.4 kg |

Saisons D'Or (G)
Veteran C&D winner is now below his last successful mark but operating below best this year after an absence.

Fools Rush In (G)
[VT]
Free-going sort who returned to winning ways over C&D in February but operating below best more recently, never a factor following a very slow start at Lingfield (1m) 11 days ago. Does now find himself operating below last winning mark at …

Embarked (G)

Doncaster winner (1m) in July but form has been up and down on all-weather in recent months. Returns to handicaps with work to do.
