Gooloogong (G)
FAV
C&D winner around this time last year and also sprung a huge surprise over hurdles here in February. Heavy defeats in better handicaps during the spring but he should be competitive at this level returned to the all-weather.

Crackergee (G)
[P1T]
Down in the weights and shaped quite well when fourth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1¾m) 17 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Tongue strap back on and cheekpieces for the first time, he makes plenty of appeal up in distance.

Haaland (G)
[P]
No show at long odds on first 3 starts this year but cashed in on a falling mark/drop in grade in refitted cheekpieces at Southwell a month ago. 4 lb rise won't prevent a bold follow-up bid for that stylish success.

L Morris | J & S Best | 6 | 60.8 kg |

| 2nd | 4 | 1 |
Now The Eagle (G)
Left previous form for this yard (matching the level he achieved in France) when a 40/1 winner over this C&D 4 weeks ago. Value for extra on the day given he was held up in a steadily-run race so he needs considering.

Jack Dace | L A Dace | 4 | 60.3 kg |

Karthon (G)
Maiden but was knocking on the door from this sort of mark in 2025 for Andrew Balding, second of 8 at Newcastle in October. Joined another successful yard and headgear left off for reappearance.
|
David Probert | Miss E C Lavelle | 4 | 59.4 kg |

| 7th | 6 | 6 |
Port Of Entry (G)
Ex-French performer who changed hands for 15,000 gns (also gelded) and he showed a bit when 5½ lengths fifth of 9 to Now The Eagle in C&D handicap on British debut 28 days ago. Task is to now build on that.

K Shoemark | R Bevis | 6 | 58.5 kg |

| 3rd | 7 | 5 |
Rogue Empire (G)
Third in a pair of 2m all-weather handicaps in September but turned in a poor effort when last of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (1¾m) when last seen, albeit hampered. Off 6 months.

Lewis Edmunds | R A Teal | 4 | 58.5 kg |

Capone (G)
One win from 23 Flat runs. At the veteran stage now and has failed to beat a rival home this year.
