Bungle Bay (G)
Specialist at Wolverhampton where all eight career wins have been recorded. Won a 7f handicap (11-runner) there (13/2) 31 days ago, staying on to lead in the final 100 yards.

Warren Fentiman | H J Evans | 6 | 61.2 kg |

Haworth Star (G)
[H]
Showed promise at Newcastle (16/1) despite troubled run, then finished 7th (17/2) after traffic issues. Appears to be maintaining form at this venue despite setbacks.

Alex Jary | M Young | 5 | 61.2 kg |

| 4th | 3 | 6 |
Kondratiev Wave (G)
[P]
Struggling with 19 runs since last win and sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (14/1) 27 days ago, racing too freely. Cheekpieces replacing visor may help settle better.

Jack Doughty | A W Carroll | 8 | 60.8 kg |

No Nay Nevermind (F)
[V1]
Generally modest performer who showed some ability when third of 9 in 6.9f handicap at Carlisle (9/1) in August, finishing fifth of 11 in 7f handicap at Southwell (25/1) 28 days ago without threatening. First-time visor might help this qui…

Desert Beauty (F)
[P]
Inconsistent performer who returned to form when second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14/1) 28 days ago. Has performed better on AW and could build on recent improvement.

Alec Voikhansky | Dylan Cunha | 3 | 59 kg |

Marcello Si (G)
[P]
Has shown poor form but fared better when third of 12 in conditions race at C&D (7/1) 250 days ago with first-time blinkers. Cheekpieces back on for this return.

Rhys Elliott | M Dods | 7 | 57.6 kg |

| 3rd | 7 | 10 |
Miss Raincloud (F)
[H1]
Has shown very little in most outings but ran best race when third of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) at 100/1 44 days ago, making headway late on. First-time hood may help with settling issues seen in previous runs.
|
Amie Waugh | Miss Tracy Waggott | 3 | 57.2 kg |

16/1
|
| 12th | 8 | 3 |
Sogannie (M)
Modest form in novice events, including when third of 5 at this C&D (25/1) 252 days ago. Slowly into stride and always behind when 11th of 12 at Doncaster (400/1) 216 days ago, may be more competitive in this low-grade handicap.

William Pyle | Mrs R Carr | 4 | 57.2 kg |

Aisling Oscar (G)
FAV
Third of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14/1) 2 days ago, but unlikely to repeat that form returning quickly to a shorter trip.

O McSweeney | A Keatley | 4 | 57.2 kg |

Doomsday (G)
[TP]
Last of 8 at this C&D (50/1) 58 days ago, then sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (66/1) 34 days ago despite enjoying run of race. Continues to struggle for form.

C Horgan | L Bailey | 6 | 57.2 kg |

| 11th | 11 | 7 |
Invincible Love (C)
Has shown a close second at Wolverhampton in January. Finished fourth of 14 in a handicap at Kempton (16/1) 50 days ago, running up to best but arguably making effort a bit early. May be able to build on recent improvement.

Jack Callan | C Johnston | 3 | 56.7 kg |

Unknown Journey (G)
[T]
Still seeking first win after 14 starts. Showed signs of revival when sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (18/1) 23 days ago, making steady headway in final furlong with first-time tongue strap. Not one to write off after that improved ef…

Esque Elegance (F)

Yet to win in 13 starts and offered little when eighth of 10 at Southwell (20/1) 27 days ago.

Freak Encounter (G)
Has been inconsistent since winning in January, with 10 runs without success. Fourth of 11 in a handicap at this C&D (66/1) 9 days ago, running well with late headway after being outpaced 2f out. The return to this trip at this venue could…
