Union Island (G)
FAV
[P]
Narrow winner at Leicester (1m, good) last month. Below par on next 2 outings but back on form when third of 12 at Carlisle (1m, good) last Wednesday. Cheekpieces back on. Gets the vote.

Up The Jazz (G)
[P]
Last win came back in November 2024 but has been knocking on the door from his reduced mark this year, including close third to Union Island at Leicester (1m, good) last month. Latest Redcar effort in first-time cheekpieces (retained) was …

Keep Me Stable (M)
Completed a Musselburgh hat-trick last summer (including this trip). Respectable third of 10 at Ayr (7f, good) in August but hasn't been seen since. Peak fitness has to be taken on trust after 10 months off.

Lovette (F)
Winner of weak maiden at Ripon last summer and placed in only 1 of her 7 subsequent handicap outings, including failing to beat a rival in 2 comeback outings at Ayr last month. Has plenty to prove.

Relevant Range (G)
Free-going sort who posted a respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 6 weeks ago. Not discounted back on turf.

Approaching Dawn (G)
Had usual hood left off and vastly improved when getting off the mark at the seventh attempt in C&D handicap (good to firm) this month. Never out of last place after starting slowly on soft ground at Ayr on Friday but the return to a likel…

On The Bubble (M)
Has a poor strike rate but plenty of placed efforts to her name, including over 9f here on her first 2 outings of 2026. Ran poorly behind Approaching Dawn over C&D last time, though.
