Age Of Baroque (G)
Southwell winner for Marco Botti last year and having dipped below that mark, he returned to form back at that venue when fourth over 1m 3 weeks ago. Dips slightly in grade here tackling this trip for the first time.

Bizou (F)
FAV
Enhanced excellent recent run of her stable and better than ever in the process when winning 8-runner handicap at Windsor (1¼m, good to firm, 9/4) 11 days ago. Raised 5 lb but she's unexposed over this sort of trip.

Between Me And U (G)
[T]
C&D winner but that was back in autumn of 2024. Restricted to just 4 runs last year, placed on 2 occasions and he's entitled to need this back from 9 months off.

Stipulation (G)
[P]
Won back-to-back handicaps in August/September (including over C&D) and hard to knock his consistency since, third again back here in February. Off since.

Dingwall (G)
[H]
Back-to-back winner here in November. Continues to hamper himself out of the stalls but a quartet of runner-up efforts confirms he remains in pretty good order. Others more persuasive for win purposes, though.

The Ubermensch (C)
[T1]
Shaped well off a steady gallop when going close on handicap debut here over 8.5f last month. Made no impression on the winner but nicely clear of the rest when second at Windsor 2 weeks ago and he remains one to be positive about. Tongue …

Karakula (F)
Lightly-raced filly who opened her account after 11 weeks off over C&D in September. Seemed stretched by the longer trip at Kempton (11f) in November but excellent return to action when second 4 weeks ago. Oisin Murphy takes over here.

Silkies Sib (G)
[V]
Gained reward for consistency when winning at Chelmsford in February and largely acquitted himself well since, third of 5 at Bath with a hood on 3 weeks ago. Usual visor fitted.
