Racing Demon (G)
FAV
C&D winner but is now on a long losing run and failed to build on reappearance effort last time. Isn't one to trust given his tardy starts.

Praise Indeed (F)
Not much impact in maiden/novice events for Tom Ward last season, so it'll be interesting to see whether the market speaks favourably for her on handicap debut returning for a new yard after 11 months off.

Homeland (G)
Winner at Ripon last July for Michael Dods. Ran well on return when third of 9 in handicap over C&D (soft) 9 days ago. Makes appeal with that run under his belt.

Seconds Count (F)
[H]
Placed twice when with William Haggas last year. Showed more than on stable debut 5 months earlier when fourth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on return 14 days ago. Can take another step forward with that run behind her.

Rival (G)
Made frame in last 4 starts in 2025 but was too free refitted with blinkers on return over C&D (soft) 9 days ago. Has the headgear discarded but may just still need this outing.

Diamondsinthesand (G)
[H]
A three-time winner last season but has been operating below his best this spring. Is having a rare start at this trip and has it to prove at present. The hood goes back on.

A Rose Adaay (F)
Lightly-raced maiden who fared better than previously in handicaps when third of 8 to Scarfo over C&D (soft) last week. Can't be discounted having dropped another 1 Ib.

306-535 | William Carson | G Harris | 4 | 58.5 kg |

| 3rd | 9 | 11 |
Scarfo (G)
More prominent in the betting than of late when ending a long losing run in 8-runner handicap over C&D (soft) 9 days ago. Further market support would be significant in follow up bid.

907913 | Charlie Tucker | B J Llewellyn | 5 | 58.1 kg |

Desert Charm (F)
Won classified event at Yarmouth (1m) 12 months ago. Sound enough return to action when a keeping-on third in handicap over 7f at Southwell in May. Return to 1m will suit though may have to settle for a minor role.

Haaf A Diamond (M)
[P]
On a lengthy losing run but posted one of her better efforts when third in a Nottingham handicap on return from a 7-month absence in April. Badly hampered at Southwell next time but others still make greater appeal for win purposes.
