Flash Man (G)
FAV
Dual winner at around 1½m on the Flat in France and going the right way over hurdles, winning 2m Plumpton maiden (good to soft) last month. Should be very competitive under a penalty.

Tom Cannon | T Lawes | 4 | 71.2 kg |

Bahati Bahati (G)
Easily best effort in maiden/novice hurdles in recent months when third of 12 in 2m Ffos Las novice (soft) 24 days ago. Should be on the premises again.

La Cadalora (M)
FAV
[HT]
Fair maiden on the Flat. Tongue strap added and left hurdle debut well behind when winning 15f Wincanton maiden (good) 24 days ago. It was a weak race but she did it readily and looks capable of better again.

Oblemenko (G)
Unplaced both starts in Irish points and more one for handicaps based on his efforts in a pair of Plumpton maidens last month.

| 6th | 7 | — |
Chambers (G)
Fair maiden on the Flat but below par on all-weather when last seen in November. Switches to hurdles after 5 months off. Worth a second look in the betting.

Isabelle Ryder | Faye Bramley | 4 | 68 kg |

| 4th | 8 | — |
Dodging The Bullet (G)
[H]
Modest maiden on all-weather Flat, although latest 11f Southwell handicap second was a creditable effort. Well beaten in 3 juvenile hurdles towards the end of 2025.

| 9th | 10 | — |
Pivotal Days (G)
Farr Flat winner for Ed Walker but no real encouragement when 21½ lengths fourth of 7 to reopposing La Cadalora on Wincanton hurdle debut (15f, good) 24 days ago.
|
Paddy Hanlon | S Hosie | 4 | 68 kg |

| 7th | 11 | — |
Tetsworth (G)
[P1]
Fair maiden on the Flat. Promise when fourth on Kempton hurdle debut over Christmas but looked held in third when unseating turning for home in the Plumpton maiden won by Flash Man last month. Cheekpieces are reached for after that. Claims…

Cockney Cleopatra (M)
Fair fifth in a Clonmel maiden hurdle on her final start in Ireland but pulled up in 19f course maiden on last month's yard first outing for this yard. Can only watch after that.
