Mr Seagull (G)
[P]
Pontefract winner last summer who found things too competitive in a pair of valuable sales races last autumn. Cheekpieces added ahead of handicap debut and he ran right up to form when fourth of 8 upped to 1m at Haydock on last month's rea…

Pearl River (C)
Signed off 2025 with a winning nursery debut at Nottingham (1¼m, soft) in October. Flying too high in listed race on reappearance and set another stiff task from out of the weighs back in a handicap at Newbury a week ago. Back on correct m…

Moment Of Light (G)
[TP1]
Different proposition having been gelded/fitted with a tongue strap when making a successful handicap debut at Kempton (11f) in February. Forced to work harder due to a much steadier gallop when following up over same C&D and perhaps unsui…

Stoneacre Donny (G)
Won 7f Thirsk novice in 2025 and, having been gelded, he has shaped well both starts this spring, bumping into a big improver when second of 14 in handicap at this course (1½m, good) 9 days ago. Up 4 lb but he can remain very competitive.

Plan C (C)
Continued theme of race-by-race progress when second of 3 in a heavy-ground maiden at Sandown in September. In the right hands to progress as a 3-y-o, particularly as his stamina is drawn out.

Northern Brave (C)
Gleneagles colt who confirmed promise of debut when winning 1m novice at Ayr by 5 lengths in October. That wasn't a strong race and allotted a stuff mark, he probably needed the run when tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (1½m, good) 9…

Bridge Of Eagles (G)
FAV
Showed ability in 3 starts at around 1m as a juvenile and gelded during the interim, he made a very impressive start to his handicap career when successful at Goodwood 3 weeks ago, value for extra, too. 3 lb rise underestimates him.

Pendella (F)
Made all in 9-runner maiden at Wolverhampton in February (8.5f). Failed to improve sent handicapping, not fully seeing out 1½m here 9 days ago so no surprise she's back in distance.

Alba Gu Brath (C)
Made the most of a good opportunity in 5-runner novice at Newcastle (1m) in January. Bred to be suited by further but clearly wasn't on his game when last of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (1½m, good to firm) 28 days ago.
