Runners
| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 1 | 7 |
What Fools Believe (F)
Towards the rear on all 4 starts to date, latest on handicap debut at Newcastle in February. Hard to make a case for on what we've seen to date.

D Nolan | I Furtado | 3 | 61.2 kg |

12/1

| 8th | 2 | 4 |
Electrocution (G)
Won handicap at Wolverhampton in February and held form well since, finishing third next 2 starts on polytrack. Returns to the tapeta and looks sure to be a big danger.
|
Joey Haynes | C Banham | 3 | 61.2 kg |

9/2
|
| 11th | 3 | 12 |
Violet Goldsmith (F)
[P1]
Has yet to show much in 3 starts so far, though would be dangerous to underestimate on pedigree (half-sister to Queen Anne winner Accidental Agent) starting out in handicaps from this lowly mark. Has the addition of 1st time cheekpieces.
|
Charles Bishop | Eve Johnson Houghton | 3 | 61.2 kg |

6/1

| 4th | 4 | 9 |
City Of Dreams (G)
FAV
Improved when fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/2) in March under a positive ride. Drops to a bare 1m and there may yet be more to come from him.
|
Callum Rodriguez | E Bethell | 3 | 61.2 kg |
5
4/1
|
| 9th | 5 | 6 |
Hazy Cosmic Jane (F)
[P1]
Hasn't gone on since sent handicapping, failing to beat a rival on her last 2 outings. Drops into a 0-55 and has cheekpieces on for first time but is vulnerable to unexposed sorts.
|
Benoit D L Sayette | D Donovan | 3 | 60.8 kg |
26
25/1
|
| 12th | 6 | 10 |
Captain Bruce (G)
Successful in nurseries at Chelmsford and Newcastle in 2025. Raced freely in 1st time tongue strap when last of 9 in handicap (28/1) at Newcastle (1m) on return last month. This run should reveal more.
|
Alex Jary | N Tinkler | 3 | 60.8 kg |

| 3rd | 7 | 13 |
Dash Of Class (F)
[H1]
Very good fourth of 8 on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 12/1) last month, despite pulling hard. Drops back down in trip and the fitting of a first-time hood should help her settle better. Any market support will be significant.
|
Jack Doughty | Dr R Newland & J Insole | 3 | 60.3 kg |

Harswell River (F)
[P]
Struggled for form after opening her account in a handicap at Redcar in September. Best watched on reappearance.
|
Mark Winn | Roger Fell | 3 | 59.4 kg |

28/1
|
| 7th | 9 | 1 |
Mohmentous (G)
Well held all 3 starts, hooded on latest occasion and subsequently gelded. Is up in trip and goes without the headgear this time, though the market may be the best guide on handicap debut.
|
D Egan | Ollie Sangster | 3 | 59 kg |

11/1
|
| 6th | 10 | 11 |
Lady Of Clover (F)
[H]
Showed improved form when third of 9 on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March. Has shown race-by-race progression in 3 starts since joining this yard and is not taken lightly with the hood back on.
|
Darragh Keenan | George Scott | 3 | 59 kg |

Musical Soldier (G)
[T]
Mid-division on handicap debut at Kempton (6f) in January but seemed stretched by longer trips the last 2 starts.
|
Sean Kirrane | Ollie Sangster | 3 | 59 kg |

Akrivos (G)
[P1]
Only eighth of 12 in handicap here (7.1f) 14 days ago, in which the runner-up has scored since. Has cheekpieces on for the 1st time and will appreciate the return to 1m.
|
Cieren Fallon | Ian Williams | 3 | 58.1 kg |

7/1
|
| 10th | 13 | 5 |
Nicolai (G)
[V]
Fitted with a visor for 1st time when posting a creditable sixth of 11 on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March. Has an appealing pedigree and may yet have more to offer.
|
Edward Greatrex | J Channon | 3 | 58.1 kg |

| 2nd | 14 | 8 |
Shes Got The Blues (F)
A poor maiden on balance who will need a career-best effort to feature.
