Scottish Dancer (G)
[P]
Lost his way for Eoin Doyle over hurdles but caused a surprise after 7 months off when winning 5-runner event at Thirsk (1¾m, good) just over a fortnight ago, very much having the run of the race. Nudged up just 2 lb for that and would be …

No More Bolero (G)
FAV
[V]
Ended long losing run in handicap hurdle at Ludlow in November and took advantage of a much-reduced mark returned to the Flat in 7-runner event at Bath (17f, good to soft) last month. Ran at least as well when second of 7 over C&D (good) j…

Trojan Soldier (G)
[P]
Well supported and finally opened his account after several near misses in 4-runner event at Southwell (1¾m) just under 6 weeks ago, the application of cheekpieces possibly making the difference in an extremely tight finish. Not out of thi…

Marbuzet (G)
[P]
Enjoyed a fruitful 2025 campaign, winning twice and making the frame on 6 other occasions, including when fourth of 16 at York last October. Shaped as if needing his return at Thirsk (1¾m, good) earlier this month and no surprise if he's m…

Vaguely Royal (G)
[P]
Useful at his best but hasn't scored in this sphere since December 2023. Got more competitive than for some time from a career-low mark without landing a serious blow when third of 5 in at Southwell (1¾m) last month and others more appeali…

Elemental Eye (G)
[P]
Dual winner at up to 2m last season. Never figured back on the Flat (little impact in 3 maiden hurdles prior to that) 10 weeks ago but handicapper has given him a squeak (cheekpieces also reapplied).

Rupert The Prince (G)

Made good progress in handicaps towards the back end of last year, making it 3 wins in his last 5 starts over 17f at Bath in October. Beaten a long way out on yard/hurdling debut but more like it 3 months on when third of 7 over C&D last m…
