So Smart (G)
FAV
[PT]
C&D winner who last scored at Ffos Las in July. Posted another respectable effort when third of 5 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 8 days ago and he should give another good account.

Hidden Verse (G)
Successful twice last season, including over C&D. Back on track despite not really being seen to maximum effect from rear when fifth of 7 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 10/1) 25 days ago and he's not discounted having edged back down the…

Pearl's Edge (M)
Ran to a fair level on 2 of her qualifying runs in 2024 but made no impact in 4 handicaps last season and she's easy enough to oppose after 7 months off.

Fletcher's Flight (G)
[PT1]
Winless in 2025 for Philip McBride and unseated leaving the stalls on debut for this yard. Refused to settle with first-time cheekpieces applied at Lingfield (5f, good to soft, 18/1) 18 days ago and others look more solid propositions desp…

Call Time (G)
[P]
Scored on heavy ground at this C&D in September off this mark and should strip fitter for comeback run at Bath. Rain would increase his chance.

Son Of Astar (G)
[B]
Posted several good efforts without winning on the all-weather in the winter but not quite in the same form on his last couple of starts, albeit looking rusty after a 13-week break when last of 12 over 6f here last month. Blinkers now go b…

Macarone (G)
[P]
Respectable fourth at Wolverhampton on final outing for Ivan Furtado but below form starting out for this yard when tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f, good, 16/1) 16 days ago. Others preferred.

Some Nightmare (G)
[P]
Three-time C&D winner was back to form when third of 7 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good) 25 days ago. Remains below last winning mark, so merits consideration.

Tomarlo (G)
[T]
Offered little in 3 starts for Barry Brennan early this year but was the subject of a gamble and shaped as if back in form fourth of 8 at Wolverhampton (5f) on yard debut 32 days ago, just seeming to find the drop back to 5f against him. M…
