Striking A Pose (G)
FAV
Had a largely disappointing season but ended it with a bang when taking advantage of reduced mark over C&D 3 weeks ago in gutsy fashion. No guarantees he'll be able to back that up, though.

| 3rd | 2 | — |
Baltray (G)
Hit-and-miss performer who found only an improver too strong in 2¾m Stratford handicap in October but in nothing like the same form next 2 starts 4 months apart.

Liam Harrison | Miss E C Lavelle | 8 | 74.8 kg |

Despereaux (G)

Hereford winner in December but not in same form back from a break there last 2 starts.

Supreme Yeats (G)
FAV
[PT]
Successful over 23f in this headgear at Uttoxeter last summer but out of sorts lately. Back on a handy mark and any market support would be of note stepping up in trip and reunited with Harry Skelton.

Alan Bresil (G)
[P]
Stoutly-bred gelding who will be suited by this longer distance. Mark has reduced further so not impossible.
|
Harry Reed | Nick Scholfield | 6 | 73 kg |

Sam's Amour (M)
Successful 3 times over hurdles in 2024. Good second over C&D last summer but she's struggled since.

Juggernaut (G)
[T]
Failed to win last season but plenty of placed efforts, having no problem with this longer trip when second under this rider at Stratford latest. Can be in the mix again.

James Robottom | A J Honeyball | 7 | 72.1 kg |

Mister Barclay (G)
FAV
Consistent type on testing ground over hurdles and narrow winner after 7 months off at Ffos Las in November. Off since but can go well fresh, though ground may be quicker than ideal.

Ned Fox | T Symonds | 8 | 71.7 kg |

I Am Spider Man (G)
[H]
A 2-time hurdles winner for Charles Byrnes at Sligo in 2024. Has struggled for different trainers after, however.
