| 8th | 1 | 9 |
Brutus Maximus (G)
[T1]
Half-brother to French 1m-11f winner Easily Amused. Dam, useful 1m winner who stayed 1½m. Picked up for 3,000 gns last year. Tongue tied on belated debut. A watching brief is advised.

| 6th | 2 | 6 |
Dartmouth Jet (G)
First and third in 2 bumpers last autumn but unable to land a blow in 2 Flat outings on all-weather at Southwell since. Unlikely to be of interest in this sphere until handicapping.

| 5th | 3 | 2 |
Florida Dreams (G)
Fairly useful hurdler at up to 3m. Below form at Hexham on recent first outing for Sandy Thomson. A Grade 2 bumper win at the start of his career offers some hope for the Flat but it's likely still best to look elsewhere this time.

| 2nd | 4 | 10 |
Moonrunner (G)
Sixties Icon gelding who has shown promise in 2 all-weather outings 4 months apart, latterly third of 8 in 11f maiden at Southwell 3 weeks ago. Open to further progress.

4-32 | D Egan | C Fellowes | 4 | 64.4 kg |

| 9th | 5 | 3 |
Alkaios (G)
100/1, fifth of 8 in maiden at Southwell (11f) on debut 21 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps down the line.

| 1st | 7 | 1 |
Outback Legend (C)
Australia colt who has shown plenty to work on in 2 outings over 1¼m this spring, shaping as if he's crying out for the step up to around 1½m when third of 5 at Chester (good to firm) 15 days ago. More to come.

Scarlet Legend (C)
FAV
Brother to smart 11f-2m winner Quickthorn and half-brother to several winners. Shaped with lots of encouragement when short-head second of 8 in maiden at Salisbury (1½m, good) on debut 18 days ago. Leading claims with improvement likely.
|

| 7th | 9 | 8 |
Spirit Dreamer (G)
16/1, in need of experience when sixth of 8 in maiden (16/1) at Salisbury (1½m, good) on debut 18 days ago. Likely to progress but reopposing stablemate Scarlet Legend was over 13 lengths ahead of him at Salisbury.

67 | P J McDonald | A M Balding | 3 | 56.7 kg |

| 4th | 10 | 4 |
Yafreh (C)
25/1, showed a bit when fourth of 6 in maiden at Leicester (1¼m, good to firm) on debut 26 days ago. The runner-up gave that form a boost last week. Open to progress.
