Albany (M)
Useful performer but she's been off for 9 months since coming in last of 6 at Haydock. Yard is going well though so can't be totally discounted.

Square Necker (G)
Confirmed debut promise when winning a Dundalk maiden (1½m) in December and has made further progress for his new yard, going in on his handicap debut in 5-runner event at Hamilton (13f) 48 days ago by 1½ lengths from Humble Spark. Likely …

Dancingwithmyself (M)
Ran a cracker on her return when second at Musselburgh and quickly bounced back with third of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (1¾m) 28 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Oneforthegutter (G)
Won valuable handicap at Newmarket last July but has struggled for form since, cheekpieces removed when beating one back at Newmarket (1½m) on his return 49 days ago.

Peaky Blinder (G)
[P]
Ended 2025 with win over 1¾m at Redcar and improved again to readily land 2m Southwell handicap in April. Beat only one in Chester Cup last time though, eased right off. Remains with potential with few miles still on the clock.

Ashnak (G)
Useful form at his best at up to 1½m in France for Francis-Henri Graffard. Seemingly building up to something in 3 starts so far for this yard, most recently when fourth of 15 in handicap at York 36 days ago. Not without interest.

Boatswain (G)
[P]
Lingfield novice winner on debut and only narrowly denied in similar events on turf next 2 starts. Back to form in refitted cheekpieces when third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (1½m) 24 days ago.

Successful 3 times last season and comes here in good nick, fifth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (2m) 20 days ago.

Divine Knight (G)
FAV
Scored on his debut at Thirsk (1m) and mainly on the up in handicaps for Sean Woods after. Changed hands for 65,000 guineas but only sixth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (1¼m) 26 days ago. Remains with potential though stepped up markedly in …

Letsbefrank (G)
Right back on track with successes at Musselburgh and Hamilton (11f) this spring. Posted another good effort with third of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (1½m) 20 days ago. Merits consideration.

Humble Spark (G)
[P]
Without a win so far this year but arrives in very good heart, runner-up for the third time when beaten a nose in 9-runner handicap at York (1½m) 7 days ago, slowly away. Expected to be bang there nudged up 1 lb.

Alba Chiara (F)
Improved form at Down Royal last autumn, winning over 2¼m before an excellent second. Well held in a pair of 1¾m handicaps at the Curragh and Fairyhouse this season, though.
