Callisto Dream (F)
Looked promising when winning 2 of first 3 starts but didn't kick on as expected in handicaps during second half of 2025. In very capable hands and this represents a pretty big drop in class on reappearance with return to 1m also in her fa…

Selection (F)
[P]
Runner-up twice on the all-weather in February/March and cast aside a couple of heavy defeats returned to turf when fifth of 12 at Thirsk on Saturday. Needs a good test at 1m but has the inside stall to work with.

Moonjid (G)
[P]
Signed off 2025 in the perfect style when justifying heavy support at Nottingham (8.5f) in October. Gradually working his way back to form this spring, fitted with cheekpieces for the first time when fourth back at that venue a month ago.

O J Orr | M Appleby | 4 | 60.3 kg |

Arkenstaar (G)
[P]
Thrived during the autumn, winning 3 times in all, including over C&D. Excellent return to action when third at Hamilton 3 weeks ago, despite being slowly away, and he can remain competitive.

Connor Beasley | M Dods | 6 | 59.9 kg |

No Knee Never (G)
[PT]
Is being kept very busy this year, already winning 3 times, running up to best when taking 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last month. Sound fourth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (1¼m) under a penalty 14 days ago.

Pierre-Louis Jamin | James Owen | 5 | 59.9 kg |

Hopeful Joy (F)
Similar form in a trio of qualifying runs in July. Allotted a stiff mark on the back of those efforts and she could manage only seventh of 13 on reappearance 10 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals.

P Mulrennan | M Walford | 4 | 58.1 kg |

Keats House (G)
Won at Beverley and Musselburgh in 2025 before finishing second at Nottingham on final start that year. Looked rusty on return to action 4 weeks ago and expected to run closer to form this time.

Joanna Mason | M & D Easterby | 4 | 57.6 kg |

| — | 8 | 7 |
Mount King (G)
[PT]
Won this race last season and recorded another C&D success the following month. Working his way to peak fitness this year and he should be spot on now which makes him dangerous as he's now below his last winning mark.

Sean Kirrane | T D Easterby | 6 | 57.2 kg |

Powerful Response (G)
[V]
Visored for the first time when snapping an enormous losing sequence over C&D 3 weeks ago, always holding on. That race hasn't worked out but he's only 2 lb higher so a danger if the headgear works again.

P J McDonald | G A Harker | 6 | 55.8 kg |

Distinction (G)

Won 3 times last year but hasn't found his best form in 4 outings this spring.
