The Craftymaster (G)
[T]
Not always looked keen this year but is better known for all-weather exploits so recent turf/jumps efforts are best ignored and he can be expected to make a better fist of things back over a C&D he's won twice at.

The Bay Warrior (G)
FAV
[P]
Good second of 9 in a handicap at Leicester 15 days ago on rare turf start. On a good mark and will be suited by this return to all-weather so he's likely to be bang there if lasting out the longer trip.

Four Fifty (G)
[T]
Fair form early on last year but yet to win a handicap and went the wrong way towards the end of 2025 before starting this year with 2 tame efforts, including on stable debut last time. Needs big hike in trip to spark some progress.

Individualiste (G)
Lost his way for Gavin Cromwell and has offered little either over hurdles or on Flat since joining Ben Lund. Equipment now removed.

Edwardtheninth (G)
Got off the mark when winning at Newcastle over 2m 40 days ago, overcoming a hold-up ride in a race run at a crawl. Only 2 lb higher here and should go close if in the same form.

Qaaeadd (G)
[T]
Ran better than previous couple of outings when fifth of 10 in classified stakes at Lingfield 10 days ago, but now faces a significant step up in trip back in handicap company and is hard to fancy.

Man Of Riddles (G)
[B1]
Tailed off in all 3 recent runs over hurdles. Returns to Flat where won over C&D in January 2024, but needs first-time blinkers to spark a major revival.

Ebendi (G)
Seems to retain little ability, looking flattered to get as close as he did last time, and he's easily passed over.
