So Alex (G)
Improved significantly for the step up to this trip, landing back-to-back handicaps at Wolverhampton during the winter. Posted a lacklustre effort when last seen at that venue in December but given a break ahead of this and bounce back rat…

Sir Edward Lear (G)
FAV
[V]
Showed a good attitude when doubling tally at Newmarket (1¼m) last summer. Possibly in need of first start for 6 months when fifth at that venue 2 weeks ago and fancied to step up now returned to this longer trip in a refitted visor.

Spartan Times (G)
Enjoyed a productive 2025, winning 5 times and he resumed from 6 months off with success over hurdles at Uttoxeter (15.8f) earlier this month. Not disgraced when fourth at Aintree (17f) since and he rates a likely player back on the level.

[P]
Landed this race from a 2 lb higher mark for Jedd O'Keeffe 12 months ago and performed creditably on 2 of last 3 starts for Stuart Williams, latest when third at Doncaster (1½m) 33 days ago. Changed hands for 8,000 gns ahead of this and pl…

Polygram (F)

Fairly useful form for Harry Charlton last year and ran just about her best race for present stable when sixth at Hamilton (11f) 11 days ago. Unexposed at middle distances but she does need to cut out the slow starts.
