Call Me Betty (F)
Failed to fire over C&D when last seen in November but otherwise done little wrong on the all-weather, winning at Wolverhampton last summer and also over this C&D in October. Should make her presence felt if ready to roll following a break.

Ziggy's Condor (G)
[V]
Resumed winning ways over 6f at this course in January and another solid effort here when runner (again over 6f) on penultimate start. However, below par at Chelmsford last time and couldn't be sure that this step back up in trip is what h…

Anthropologist (G)
FAV
[P]
Right back to form for his new yard in recent starts, failing by a whisker at Southwell last month before going one better over this C&D 13 days later. Scored with more authority than the margins suggest on that occasion and a 4 lb rise pr…

Blazing Son (G)
Notched third win here when bagging a C&D handicap in September and returned to form when runner-up back here early last month. Wasn't disgraced at Southwell since and, still on a fair mark, he's not without hope.

Criminal Shore (G)
[V]
Ripon success in 1m handicap last spring remains his sole career win from 16 starts but he's on the premises more often than not, again not being at all far when fourth of 11 here last time. 1 lb lower now and makes each-way appeal.

The Green Man (G)
[VT]
Recorded three wins here for Philip Kirby last year, the latest a C&D handicap in December. Nearest at the finish when a close third of 11 here (6f) last time and the return to this trip will be in his favour.

King's School (G)
[TP]
Course specialist who bagged a third C&D handicap last summer. Followed that with a series of creditable efforts in defeat and, though below par when last seen in December, his latest success here came on the back of a similar break and he…

Lord Capulet (G)
FAV
Progressive at the start of the year, winning 3 handicaps on the bounce over this C&D. However, he proved to be a disappointment when down the field in the race won by Anthropologist back here last month and it could be that he's a shade t…

Bobby Joe Leg (G)
[V]
Veteran who has scored 10 times over this C&D over the years, including on 3 occasions in 2025. Wasn't disgraced when sixth of 11 in Anthropologist's handicap here last time but may again find one or two too good.

Phoenix Of Dreams (G)
FAV
[H]
Narrow winner of an 11-runner C&D handicap last month and wasn't beaten far when fourth of 11 to Anthropologist in another 15 days later. Solid each-way chance.

| 8th | 11 | 13 |
Novak (G)
Mixed bag since striking over C&D in September and while his latest fifth of 11 in the handicap won by Anthropologist here was creditable, a 5 lb pull is unlikely to be enough for him to turn the tables on that rival.

| 12th | 12 | 11 |
Cusack (G)
[P]
Back-to-back C&D winner last spring and runner-up over a mile here in September. Now 1 lb below last winning mark but he's entitled to come on for the run following a 5-month absence.

| 13th | 13 | 7 |
Too Much (M)
All 3 victories gained on all-weather, the latest over this C&D last March. Put in a decent shift when third of 7 in a Hamilton handicap on her latest start but that was 8 months ago and she's another who may benefit from the run.

Has struggled since returning from almost a year off in January and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.
