Serengeti (C)
Signed off with Aidan O'Brien with 7f win at Naas in October. Only fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 7/1) 21 days ago so needs to bounce back.

Two Tempting (G)
Latest win at Kempton in November. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 10/3) 21 days ago, better placed than most. In the mix once more.

Bravais (G)
First run since leaving Ger Lyons when last of 7 in handicap (25/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 21 days ago, slowly away. Makes tapeta debut with lots more required.

Blue Rc (C)
FAV
Bagged a third victory at Yarmouth in June and in fine form after a break, second of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 21 days ago when conceding first run. Weighted to go close nudged up 1 lb on his tapeta debut.

Popmaster (G)
Nineteen runs since last win in 2023 but shaped as if better for the run after 6 months off when a fading fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 21 days ago. Not ruled out off an easing mark now.
