Shazani (G)
[B]
Best efforts in 2025 both came at Doncaster over longer trips and has been lit up by the addition of blinkers on his previous 2 starts, latterly when finishing down the field on the all-weather debut at Southwell.

Jimmy Knocker (G)
[T]
Had been shaping up well prior to doubling his career tally at Newmarket last August. That was a personal best (runner-up also a next-time-out winner) but he's been off the track since.

Spirit Of Jenny (F)
FAV
Low-mileage filly who confirmed the promise of her reappearance when getting off the mark at Southwell last time. She's far from exposed back on turf and has good claims to follow up off a 3 lb higher mark.

Dark Side Thunder (G)
[P]
Having dropped below his last winning mark, he bounced back to form when runner-up at Yarmouth but couldn't back that up when last of 5 in a slightly better C&D handicap last time. Cheekpieces replace visor.

Skellig Isle (F)
Capitalised on a reduced mark when successful on stable debut at Chelmsford (5f) on return. Bounced back to something like that form when fourth of 6 at Wolverhampton last time and the booking of Billy Loughnane is certainly a positive.

Looks Fantastic (G)
Took a while to find his feet for current yard but having got off the mark in a 14-runner handicap at Redcar (7f), he was below form over the same C&D last time.
|
507-416 | Alistair Rawlinson | M Appleby | 4 | 58.5 kg |

| 1st | 7 | 7 |
Fenlander (G)
Long-standing maiden went as close as he has when runner-up on reappearance at Southwell. Hasn't backed that up in 2 subsequent starts, but the return to 6f is a positive, given how he shaped over a longer trip here last time.
|
23-2361 | K T O'Neill | Mrs P Sly | 5 | 56.7 kg |

Call Glory (G)
FAV
Has been largely consistent since winning twice at Southwell in January. Shaped as though probably still in form when fifth of 9 at Lingfield (7f) last time and can go well with a strong pace to aim at.
