Lord Chamberlain (G)
FAV
[T]
Fair Flat maiden who showed much improved form to get off the mark on handicap debut at Hereford (2m) last week, easily. Open to further progress and promises to follow up under a 7 lb penalty.

Hans Lippershey (G)
Made the frame all 3 starts in bumpers and has shown similar form over hurdles despite failing to impress with his hurdling technique, including when second in 5-runner (2m) at Fakenham on latest start. Needs more back in handicap company.

J M Quinlan | B I Case | 5 | 76.2 kg |

Play Pretend (G)
Course winner who doubly his tally when taking a small-field Worcester handicap (2m) in July. Solid efforts all 3 outings since, including in 2½m handicap back at aforementioned track on final outing in October. Likely to go well again if …

Caramelo Rapido (G)
Opened hurdles account at the ninth attempt when landing a soft-ground Doncaster handicap (16.6f) in decisive fashion in February. However, was found out in a more competitive environment at Hexham since.

Jamie Hamilton | M Walford | 7 | 74.8 kg |

Nitty Gritty (G)
Fair winning hurdler for Joseph O'Brien who offered more than previously for current yard when fifth in 10-runner handicap at Wetherby (19.7f) on Boxing Day, despite not being ideally placed. Needs to build on that now.

Tom Midgley | M Walford | 6 | 74.8 kg |

Snapius (G)
[V]
Capitalised on an easing mark in 6-runner handicap at Huntingdon (19.6f, good to soft) last month, eased final 100 yds. Nudged up 6 lb but remains on a competitive mark on old form.

Alex Chadwick | James Owen | 7 | 74.8 kg |

Assorda (M)
Dual winner in early 2025 but has shown next to nothing on both starts for current yard after a year off.

Ever Ready (M)
Maiden who underperformed when sixth in 12-runner handicap at Southwell (2½m, good to soft) on latest outing. Bounce back called for.

Paul O'Brien | Mrs P Sly | 7 | 70.3 kg |

Times A Wastin (G)
[T1]
Showed fair form in bumpers in Ireland but has been disappointing so far over hurdles, including in handicaps. Tongue tied for first time on return to former yard.

J J Burke | F O'Brien | 7 | 69.4 kg |

| 8th | 10 | — |
Ambassador (G)
Failed to revive following a 4-month break in 7-runner handicap at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft) at the beginning of the month. Enough to prove.
|
Joshua Thompson | Micky Hammond | 9 | 67.6 kg |

| 1st | 11 | — |
Ruler Legend (G)
Capitalised on a career-low mark in convincing fashion in 9-runner handicap at this course (16.6f, good to soft) recently. Has to be respected under a 7-lb penalty for all that this is a stronger race.

Danny McMenamin | G Hanmer | 7 | 67.1 kg |
