Redredrobin (M)
Back on the same mark as when last successful over C&D in August 2024 but she offered little on her return from 10 months off at Bath. Worth a market check, though.

Forever My Prince (G)
Doubled his tally in claiming company at Leicester on final start for Eve Johnson Houghton back in October. Hasn't been seen to best effect either start since a creditable stable debut and needs considering dropped in grade.

Northcliff (G)
[P]
Bagged three turf wins in better company than this last spring but has looked badly out of sorts on the all-weather since the turn of the year.

Connie's Rose (M)
[PT]
7-time course winner turned in her best effort of the season when third of 11 over C&D last time, doing well considering the strong pace she set, and should make another bold bid off an unchanged mark.

Vape (G)
[P]
In excellent heart when landing a quick-fire double here last August but has been off since finishing down the field at Wolverhampton the following month and all his wins have come over 6f.

Ajrad (G)
[P]
Has his quirks but won 3 times last summer, including a double over 1m here, and turned in his best effort of the season when fifth of 12 at Kempton last time. Makes plenty of appeal now 3 lb below his last successful mark.

Romanovich (G)
FAV
[B]
4-time C&D winner who capitalised on a falling mark at Wolverhampton (7f) in March. Still in good form when fifth (behind Connie's Rose) over C&D latest and benefits from a good-value claimer taking over this time.

King of The Dance (G)
[P]
Latest success came off this mark over C&D last July. Arrives in good heart, finishing fourth of 11 at Bath on his latest start, and the return of David Probert a notable positive.

Oviedo (G)
[P1]
Has continued badly out of sorts since joining his current yard. Hopes of a revival rest on the addition of first-time cheekpieces, on the back of a 4-month break.

Too Much Trevor (G)
Long-standing maiden ran well to finish runner-up over C&D last time, and while another strong pace looks likely, he's still far from certain to repeat that effort.
