Reel Orange (M)
FAV
[PT]
Made it 2 wins from his last 3 starts in 7-runner event over C&D (good to soft) a fortnight ago, having to work for it against a pair of unexposed rivals. Back against the boys here and will have to up her game again from 5 lb higher.

St Lukes Chelsea (G)
Remains a maiden but beaten only ½ length when third of 10 at Taunton (2m) in March. Sent off favourite but wasn't in the same form when fifth of 13 back there a fortnight later. Can get back on track returned to 2¼m.

Ocean Heights (G)

Has tumbled down the weights and returned to form with equipment reapplied when fourth of 11 at Lingfield (1½m) in February. Reverts to hurdles after a break and bold bid anticipated with trainer-jockey combination in red-hot form in recen…

Alberts Bay (G)
Better effort for Ryan Chapan when third of 5 on hurdling debut in September 2023. Offered little for a new yard after 19 months off at this track (2¾m, good to soft) 3 weeks ago and can only be watched. Makes handicap debut.

Crab Road (G)
Achieved little in maiden hurdles last year and was making no impression at the time when falling 4 out on handicap debut at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft) last month. Has since moved yards.

Getone (G)
[H]
Has achieved precious little in 5 starts under Rules so far (trained by Vincent Laurence Halley first 3). Tongue tie discarded and needs this switch to a handicap to be transformative.

Scoresby (G)
[T]
Dual point winner who belied his age as he showed his first form under Rules when landing 7-runner event on handicap debut at Fontwell (19f, good) 3 weeks ago, leading soon after 2 out. Up 5 lb for that success but every chance he'll be in…

Makinbecon (G)

Showed first form under Rules in first-time cheekpieces when fifth of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (2½m, good) just over 3 weeks ago. Needs to prove that was no fluke here.

Saucats (G)
[P1T]
Inconsistent long-standing maiden who ran as well as could be expected from just out of the handicap when fourth of 10 at Taunton (2m, good) 5 weeks ago. Cheekpieces applied but others are preferred again.

Blazing Gaden (G)
Finished as close as he has so far but still didn't achieve much in form terms from 5 lb out of the handicap when fifth of 10 at Taunton (2m, good) last month. Reportedly lost his action at Stratford 10 days ago so easy enough to look else…
