| 3rd | 1 | 5 |
Comic Strip (G)
Progressive 2-y-o who made it 2 wins from as many starts in nursery company at Wolverhampton in December. Found only one too good in hat-trick bid there the following month and could still have more to offer.

Rossa Ryan | S & E Crisford | 3 | 61.7 kg |

Hayynah (F)
[P]
Put experience to good use to get off the mark in 9-runner novice over C&D in February. More required now switching to handicap company, however.

Callum Rodriguez | Ollie Sangster | 3 | 61.7 kg |

| 5th | 3 | 6 |
Saucy Jane (F)
Beverley maiden winner last year who was unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton 12 days ago, keeping on when not clear run final 1f. Must enter calculations.
|
Callum Shepherd | Jack Morland | 3 | 60.8 kg |

Ambishio (G)
FAV
Impressed with his attitude when opening his account after 4 months off (gelded in interim) in 7-runner handicap over C&D in January. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid now his energy seems to be being channelled more efficiently…

Hollie Doyle | M Appleby | 3 | 60.3 kg |

| 6th | 5 | 7 |
Ice Cold Alex (G)
Didn't really progress after making a winning start at Pontefract last April and returns with something to prove for all he's evidently capable fresh.

Cam Hardie | Ollie Pears | 3 | 59.4 kg |

| 1st | 6 | 2 |
Proof (C)
Off the mark in a weak handicap at Ffos Las (5f) in September. Solid efforts in stronger races thereafter and should be competitive if ready to roll on this return to action.
|
Jason Watson | C Hills | 3 | 59 kg |

| 4th | 7 | 4 |
Riffa Spirit (G)
Seemed to relish the drop back to sprinting when winning on second start at Chelmsford (6f) in August. Handed a stiff opening mark and failed to improve at Lingfield next time, however. Since left Simon & Ed Crisford.
