Camarrate (G)
[T]
Runner-up at Wetherby in October and not for the first time, seemed better for a break when third of 12 at Doncaster in February. Merely underlined inconsistency at Carlisle 3 weeks on so hard to know what mood he will turn up in. Career-l…

Abbey Scope (G)
Fairly useful winner sole start in bumper and got back to something like the form he showed on hurdle debut when runner-up (despite typical mistakes) on handicap bow at Catterick in January. Proved a let-down at Musselburgh recently so nee…

Achnamara (G)
[P]
Successful twice during 2024/25, including from an 8 lb higher mark at Catterick. Not kicked on in this sphere subsequently though and couldn't even manager to get into contention before capitulating at Sedgefield recently.

Lone Star (M)
[T]
Market Rasen winner last summer and ran a cracker on return from 7 months off when third of 9 over C&D (good) 11 days ago, shaping second best for a long way. Should be in the mix again from the same mark.

Noble George (G)
[P]
Runner-up first 2 starts in bumpers and caught the eye under considerate handling when fifth at Newcastle second time up over hurdles. Not figured on all 3 outings since though, including on handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces last mo…

Largy Meadow (G)
[T]
Headstrong sort has yet to match his debut bumper form over hurdles, failing to make much of a splash tackling a handicap for the first time at Ayr last month. Hood discarded.

Cher Tara (M)
Formerly with Dan Skelton/Gordon Elliott but definite signs of promise in pair of third place finishes for new yard in January/February. Easy to put a line though her latest Musselburgh effort so not without each-way claims.

National Question (G)
[P]
Narrowly landed third success of season at Carlisle just under 3 weeks ago, staying on to lead run-in. 4 lb rise unlikely to prove insurmountable so fancied to go close.

Valtteri Its James (G)
FAV
Point winner who has seemingly been brought along with handicaps over longer trips in mind. Fancied to show more now faced with that scenario.

Toby Two Scoops (G)
[B]
Modest maiden on Flat who has been knocking on the door in this sphere of late, wasting no time getting back to form when runner-up at Wetherby just over 6 weeks ago. Should be suited by this sort of test so he's high on the shortlist.

The Final Brig (G)
[T1P1]
Well held in Wetherby bumper last Christmas and no impact completed starts over hurdles. Makes handicap debut after break and needs to show much more.

Long Time Listener (G)
[P]
Point bumper winner in February 2024 but has disappointed under Rules so far, shaping like a stayer fitted with cheekpieces at Sedgefield last month.

Diamond Trilogy (G)
[T1]
Minimal form in the book and looks an easy swerve on first start for a new yard. Tongue tie applied.
