Spring Is Sprung (G)
FAV
Completed a hat-trick in 2025 and returned to a similar level when winning 7-runner C&D handicap on reappearance in January. Only a respectable fourth of 10 in a C&D Class 3 since but considered back at a slightly lower level with Oisin Mu…

Fidelius (G)
Third win a productive spell on all-weather when seeing off 4 rivals at Lingfield (5f) 35 days ago. His further 3 lb rise is offset by Jack Callan's claim and this thriving sort may take the beating again.

Marty Hopkirk (G)
Failed to feature in sprint handicaps at Glorious Goodwood and the York Ebor meeting on his final 2 outings last year but this Wolverhampton novice winner may fare better back in calmer waters after a break.

Master Of My Fate (G)
Three-time C&D winner, the latest in February. Ran one of his lesser races when eighth of 12 at Newcastle 13 days ago but not discounted back at Southwell.

Far Above The Law (G)
Remains 4 lb above the mark he defied at Windsor for Alice Haynes last spring but worth a second look in the betting on his reappearance for a new yard which gets lots of winners here.

Diomed Spirit (G)
Latest win at Lingfield in November. 9/1, 5¼ lengths last of 5 to Fidelius in handicap at Lingfield (5f) 58 days ago. Others are preferred.
