Valley Of Flowers (M)
[H]
Winless since 2023 but in good nick last season, ending with third of 13 in 13f handicap at Ayr in September. This C&D scorer has gone well when fresh too.

Naval Tribute (G)
FAV
[V1]
Much improved in first-time cheekpieces when getting off the mark at Kempton (11f) in March. Beat only one at Lingfield 29 days ago but still low mileage and he's well worth another chance on his turf debut in a headgear change.

Roland Garros (G)
[PT]
Fit from jumping and registered a first success in 8-runner handicap at Catterick (1½m) 15 days ago. Up 3 lb but displayed a good attitude there so very much one to consider.

Iwantmytimewithyou (G)
Lost his form after gaining back-to-back wins on the turf last summer but he resumed from 7 months off with a good second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1½m) 15 days ago. Needs to back it up now.

Dr Rio (G)
A 6-time course winner (including dual C&D scorer). Not discredited over an inadequate trip on his reappearance when fifth of 12 in 7f handicap at Catterick 15 days ago. Can take a step forward now back up in distance.

Kitsune Power (G)
[P]
Course winner who resumed from 5 months off with a solid third of 10 in handicap at Catterick (1½m) 15 days ago. It's now 20 runs since his last victory in 2024 though.

Freddy Robinson (G)
Scored over hurdles at Market Rasen in December and comes here on the back of a creditable fourth of 12 in C&D handicap 8 days ago. This course winner is not out of things.
