Cruden (G)
[P]
Best effort on Flat when winning a Limerick maiden (11.3f). As good as ever over hurdles for James Ewart last season, narrowly beaten at Carlisle (25f) following wind surgery on final start for yard. Changed hands for £32,000 and betting s…

Palace Boy (G)
Fairly useful at best, winning twice over C&D last year but well held final start for Ralph Smith in May 2024. Betting should offer plenty of clues on first start for Barry Brennan.

Mersea Island (G)
FAV
Showed much improved form to get off the mark at Southwell (12.1f) and backed that up when a narrow runner-up in a better race over C&D 9 days ago. Is building up a promising all-weather record and should give another good account.

Appier (G)
[H]
Ended long losing run in a 6-runner C&D handicap on his final run for Sean Woods. Blindfold removed late when never involved on stable debut at Southwell (12.1f) last time. Back up in trip but isn't one for maximum faith.

Moon Sniper (G)
Winner at Newcastle in October and quickly back on track when third of 9 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 13 days ago, having run of race. Step up in trip may eke out a bit more improvement.

Green Team (G)
Landed double here in March but well held on two most recent turf starts, for all he didn't see out his race upped to 2m last time. Remains to be seen if he can get back on track down in trip on return to all-weather.

Crackergee (G)

Maiden who not for the first time shaped with promise on the all-weather when fifth of 9 in handicap (5/1) at this course (12.2f) 13 days ago, unlucky not to finish closer in first-time tongue strap (retained) following a slow start. Looks…
