Dragonflame (G)
Ended 2025 under a cloud, blinkered for 1st time when eleventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 7 months ago on his final run for Brian Meehan. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence.

Norflondonforever (G)
[T]
Lightly-raced sort who was tongue tied when landing 10-runner handicap at Kempton (1m). Off 13 months since though so has his fitness to prove on his comeback run.

Everyoneknowsadave (G)
All 3 wins on all-weather but has run well on turf too. Posted a respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (1m) 10 days ago so not out of things back up in trip.

Pol Roger (G)
[P]
Course winner. Off 5 months and shaped as if in need of the run when a fading eighth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (1m) 42 days ago. Usual cheekpieces go back on now and he's weighted to go well.

Joseph (G)

Gained a second win of 2026 in 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (1¼m) 24 days ago. Can race off the same mark here but yet to show he's as effective on turf.

Lesrico (G)

Got off the mark at Doncaster in October and backed it up with a good fifth at Redcar (1¼m) following month. Needs to hit the ground running on his seasonal return.

Golspie (G)

In good form on the all-weather over the winter and also posted a solid second of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (1¼m) in March. In the mix after a break.

Bellasio (G)
Back from ten months off with an encouraging sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (1m) 15 days ago. Still low mileage so he needs considering on his first go at this trip.

Blue Wonder (F)

Headstrong sort who wasn't disgraced on her return when fourth of 10 to Joseph in handicap at Lingfield (1¼m) 24 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Still a maiden and he came in just eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (1m) 15 days ago. Up in trip. Needs to bounce back.

Hill O Rue (G)
Ended 2025 with success at Beverley but he came in last of 9 in handicap at Redcar (1¼m, good) on his return last month. Both his wins have come on softer ground so no surprise to see him get back on track here.

Red Derek (G)
C&D winner. Off 6 months before coming in last of 4 in handicap at Nottingham (1¾m) 13 days ago. This veteran needs to take a big step forward.
