Third on first 2 starts for Seb Spencer but struggled badly in 2 subsequent outings, including nursery debut. Has changed stable ahead of this first outing for 7 months. Best watched unless the betting hints otherwise.

| 1st | 2 | 6 |
Staniel Cay (C)
Has failed to progress from debut, including fourth of 5 on 6f handicap debut 19 days ago. Still early days but improvement will be needed.

| 6th | 4 | 17 |
Rosieisme Darling (F)
Had a productive spell on all-weather this winter, including a 5f Lingfield win in February. Creditable third of 7 at Wolverhampton (5f) 42 days ago. Claims if as effective back on turf.

Faithful Dream (C)
[P1]
Maiden but has been competitive in 6f handicaps on all-weather this winter. Respectable fifth of 12 at Southwell (6f) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time and drops to 5f now back on turf.

| 15th | 6 | 7 |
Seven Of Hearts (F)
Modest form in 3 all-weather novices this year but handicaps provide her with a much more realistic chance. One to note in the betting.

H Crouch | C G Cox | 3 | 59.9 kg |

| 10th | 7 | 4 |
Our Hero Matty (G)
Modest form at best at 2 and looks quite exposed after 9 starts. Been off for 6 months.

| 11th | 8 | 15 |
I'm Dan Dare (G)
No obvious promise in 3 turf outings at the end of last summer but handicaps could be more his thing. Has been gelded.

Maid In Devon (F)
Half-sister to connections' very useful sprinter Adaay In Devon. Showed a bit of promise in her 3 qualifying runs on turf last season and again when fourth of 8 on 6f Wolverhampton handicap debut/reappearance. Open to improvement and leadi…

Takincareofbizness (G)
FAV
No obvious promise in 3 qualifying runs on all-weather at the end of 2025 but in good hands and would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in his favour on this turf and handicap debut after 131 days off (has been gelded).

George Bass | J Channon | 3 | 57.6 kg |

| 7th | 11 | 5 |
Yesnia (F)
[T1]
Down the field in 3 all-weather starts in Ireland for Ross O'Sullivan but worth a second look in the betting now handicapping for a new yard with a tongue strap added.

Zak Wheatley | D Carroll | 3 | 57.2 kg |

| 8th | 12 | 16 |
No Claims Bonus (F)
Modest maiden. Improved third on 5f Wolverhampton nursery debut in September but not in the same form back there 6 weeks later. Been off for 165 days.

Amakhala (G)

Has offered little in 3 all-weather handicaps since returning from eight months off. Hard to fancy.

Doilookokay (G)
[P1]
Made his second nursery start a winning one at Chelmsford (5f) last summer but has found things tougher since, including eighth of 12 at Southwell (5f) 23 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to make a difference.

| 2nd | 16 | 8 |
Magnificent Mel (F)
Modest maiden. Went close in 6f Wolverhampton handicap in February but hasn't come close to reproducing that form in 2 subsequent outings. Maid In Devon is the more obvious of the yard's pair.
