Castan (G)
FAV
[P]
Four-time C&D winner who finished fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (11/4) 9 days ago, too free early and that told late on. With strong course form and currently on last winning mark, he remains well treated.

| 8th | 2 | 7 |
Dark Kestrel (G)
[T]
C&D winner who finished fourth of 7 in handicap over C&D (11/2) 9 days ago, staying on after being slowly into stride. Chance if breaking better than has typically been the case.

Cam Hardie | A Brittain | 5 | 60.3 kg |

Brave Empire (G)
[P1]
Third of 5 in a claimer at Leicester (7/2) 38 days ago. Cheekpieces on dropped back markedly in trip.

Darlo Pride (G)
[T]
Consistent at 5f on AW with a 2nd and 3rd over C&D early in 2025. Finished ninth of 11 here (7/1) in March when meeting trouble and blinkers removed on first start for over 8 months.

Rhys Elliott | M Dods | 5 | 59 kg |

Hover On The Wind (G)
Form has been modest in recent handicaps with eighth of 10 at Redcar (11/1) 72 days ago when never involved and racing awkwardly. Without a win in seven runs and others more persuasive back on the AW.

Barry McHugh | P T Midgley | 5 | 58.1 kg |

Orbital Chime (G)
FAV
[B]
Hadn't been seen to best effect several times before narrow second over C&D and he went one place better in 13-runner handicap at Southwell over 6f (18/1) 14 days ago, finally doubling career tally. Should remain competitive back down in t…

Showtime Mahomes (G)
Has shown fair form at times but modest in recent Newcastle runs, including when ninth of 11 in handicap over 6f here (11/1) 13 days ago, albeit he did have to wait for a gap. Very rare 5f outing.

Oliver Stammers | Grant Tuer | 6 | 57.2 kg |

Howzak (G)
Eighth of 9 in 6f handicap here in January, racing off the pace and never involved. Absent since.

| 2nd | 9 | 2 |
Ganesha (G)
Has two C&D wins but mixed form lately, though fourth of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (11/2) 30 days ago was a step in right direction.

Rowan Scott | Phillip Makin | 4 | 55.3 kg |
