Runners
| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Form | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5th | 1 | 8 |
Freddie's Star (G)
[P1]
Placed on first 3 starts before landing short odds in a 7f Chelmsford novice in November. Hasn't cut much ice in 3 handicaps since, so application of cheekpieces needs to help spark a return to form as he drops in grade.

Valentine Boy (G)
[H]
Has shown improved form this season, resuming winning ways at Kempton early last month and running at least as well in first-time hood when fourth of 14 at the same course 24 days ago. Task now is to transfer his progression back onto turf.

1-03148 | Jude Fernandes | L A Dace | 4 | 61.7 kg |

| 7th | 3 | 2 |
Didaar (G)
Remains a maiden but caught the eye on first run for Denis Quinn when never-nearer third of 12 in handicap at Kempton in December. Not seen to best effect at Lingfield (1¼m) when last seen in January, so he's one to note on stable debut.

3983-67 | Taryn Langley | Gihan Arnolda | 5 | 60.8 kg |

| 2nd | 4 | 3 |
Born A Rebel (M)
Regular slow starter who won twice over 7f last season and bounced back to her best when second in 16-runner contest at Doncaster in April. However, lost all chance at the start at Chester 8 days ago.
|
164-720 | Arron D'Arcy | P Owens | 5 | 60.8 kg |

| 10th | 5 | 1 |
Into Combat (G)
Well-bred type but not much impact in his 3 qualifying runs (trained by Ralph Beckett on debut). Didn't fare any better switched to handicaps on final 2 starts last year, though, well held at Nottingham when last seen in October.

8/6780-0 | Poppy Scott | Sir Mark Prescott | 4 | 59.9 kg |

Gladiadora (M)
[T1]
Has made positive start overall for current yard, gaining a second win of the all-weather campaign at Southwell (7f) in March. Shaped well next 2 outings before a lesser effort at Yarmouth last time. No surprise to see her bounce back with…

Timely Affair (G)
FAV
[P]
In first-time cheekpieces, doubled his tally at Southwell in April and confirmed that improvement upped in grade when third of 10 at Yarmouth last time, form boosted since. Major player.

| 9th | 8 | 7 |
Siam Fox (G)
[BT]
Dropped in grade and fitted with blinkers, ended long losing run when making all at Yarmouth 23 days ago. Remains well treated on old form so he's capable of another bold bid.
|
067-061 | Matthew Slater | K Frost | 8 | 58.5 kg |

| 11th | 9 | 6 |
Atlantic Sunset (G)
[P1]
Couldn't build on last summer's Newmarket success for Charlie Johnston and has failed to beat a rival in 2 starts at around 11.5f for current yard. Cheekpieces now replace the blinkers.

88-6048 | Megan Smith | M Fenton | 4 | 58.1 kg |

Pay Attention (G)
[TV]
With visor on for first time, left reappearance run behind when second of 13 in handicap at Newbury 5 weeks ago. Remains 1 lb below his winning mark so merits consideration on the back of his latest effort.

438-926 | Oliver Carmichael | Faye Bramley | 4 | 58.1 kg |

King Of Charm (G)
[P]
Without a win last year, but with cheekpieces applied he ran better than for a while when length second of 9 to Siam Fox in handicap at Yarmouth 23 days ago. Now needs to back up latest effort.
