Beaumadier (G)
Three-time winner this year, with latest success at this C&D in November. Below-par effort when fifth of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (5f) 2 weeks ago, but had been holding his form well prior to that so could bounce back.

El Bufalo (G)
[PT]
C&D winner who doubled his tally at Chelmsford in February. Has returned to form last 2 starts, in first-time cheekpieces when second of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 17/2) a month ago. Enters calculations.

Hint Of Humour (F)
FAV
Is thriving at present, first past the post for the fourth time in a row when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (4/1) 27 days ago. Yard going well and she's not taken lightly in her current form.

Level Up (G)
[B]
C&D winner who recorded third win of the year when scoring at Chelmsford City in October. Has been below that level since, though, third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 9/2) 4 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Charles Bishop | P D Evans | 6 | 59 kg |

Westgate Warrior (G)
Off the mark in handicap at Nottingham (5f) in October, before racing away from the main pack when fourth of 9 at the same C&D (soft, 3/1) later the same month. Major player with potential of better still to come on all-weather.

Alistair Rawlinson | S R Bowring | 3 | 59 kg |

Peregrine Falcon (F)
Remains a maiden but ran well back in handicap company when third at this C&D in November. However, in first-time hood she wasn't in the same form when sixth of 9 here (12/1) 18 days ago. Headgear quickly discarded.

Billy Loughnane | P Morris | 3 | 58.5 kg |

| 4th | 8 | 4 |
Phoenix Beach (G)
Won 3 times over C&D from first 4 starts this year. Hasn't been able to match that form since, 2½ lengths seventh of 8 to Hint of Humour in handicap here (14/1) 27 days ago, but he's now 5 lb below last winning mark.

Mikkel Mortensen | S Dixon | 6 | 58.5 kg |

| 8th | 9 | 1 |
Catch Cunningham (G)
[H]
C&D winner but it's now 20 runs since last win in 2024. Is falling in the weights, though failed to stage a revival when ninth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 10/1) on latest outing in September. Usual hood now reapplied.

Connor Planas | M Herrington | 6 | 58.1 kg |

| 6th | 10 | 5 |
Candy Warhol (G)
[PT]
Three-time winner at this venue in 2025, with latest victory over C&D in June. Has run well here both starts back from a break having had a wind op, second of 9 in C&D handicap (7/2) 18 days ago. Could be in the mix.
