Uncle Don (G)
FAV
Ran well when third of 13 at Newbury over 7f 55 days ago. Fourth of 10 in handicap over 7f at Lingfield (5/1) 15 days ago, coming from a long way back. Mark falling despite shaping well lately and may come good down in class.

Bell Shot (G)
[P]
Well placed to win twice on turf in August 2025 before finishing 11th of 12 at Wolverhampton (20/1) 24 days ago after doing too much too soon returned to AW. Better than he showed there but likely to have company for the lead here.

Calyxoh (G)
[E1]
Won a 7f handicap at Newbury in August. Strong in betting on stable debut, finished 4th of 12 in a handicap at Wolverhampton (15/8 favourite) 24 days ago, breaking awkwardly from stalls and unable to lead. In the mix if first-time eyeshiel…

Tennessee Gold (G)
Showed useful form at 7f on AW in autumn, including a third and fourth. Best forgiven latest 12th of 14 at Kempton (8/1) 71 days ago when behind poorly drawn/place winner Society Man. Worth another chance eased another 1 lb.

Eminency (G)
[HT]
Won twice on turf before finishing 4th of 21 in handicap at Doncaster (25/1) 40 days ago when slowly into stride but stayed on. Generally performs best when held up and could be seen to good effect in strongly run race back on all-weather.

United Approach (G)
On a handy mark and backed into favourite (7/4) when finished 6th at Kempton after being held up in slow race. Should perform better with stronger pace here.

Ararat (G)
Won twice over 6f at Southwell in autumn showing tenacity before finishing sixth of 14 in handicap at same course (13/2) 28 days ago. Returns to 7f and can remain competitive (won off higher mark over C&D last year).

S M Levey | R M H Cowell | 5 | 58.5 kg |

| 12th | 8 | 2 |
Brunel Nation (G)
Below form since winning at Newmarket last year, forgiven comeback ninth of 12 at Wolverhampton (25/1) 24 days ago, hampered at start. Drops in weights but remains to be seen if he can capitalise.

Finley Marsh | R Hughes | 4 | 58.1 kg |

Grabajabba (H)
Finished sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8f) at 14/1 27 days ago after a 7-month break. Could be closer to form now (yard also saddle Bell Shot).

This Farh (G)
[P]
Placed three times in summer. Best forgiven latest 10th of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (33/1) 24 days ago after an awkward start and racing wide. Would need to recapture previous form to figure.

Jack Doughty | D Loughnane | 3 | 57.2 kg |

How Impressive (G)
[VT]
Back on song to win at Kempton (20/1) 57 days ago but failed to build on that when 8th of 10 in a handicap at the same course (12/1) 17 days ago. Inconsistent performer and remains to be seen if he's on a going day.

Riot (G)
[T]
Won at Wolverhampton (11/1) 75 days ago but ran poorly on stable debut when last of 10 in handicap at Kempton (80/1) 17 days ago. Returns to a C&D where successful three times but needs to leave recent form behind.
