| 11th | 1 | 1 |
Gressington (G)
[B]
C&D winner. Won 6-runner handicap at Newcastle (7f) 6 days ago. Well on top at the finish and a 5 lb penalty shouldn't prevent another prominent showing.

Alistair Rawlinson | K Scott | 5 | 61.7 kg |

How Impressive (G)
[VT]
Unreliable type. C&D winner. Latest win in Class 5 at Kempton in October. Found out in a couple of Class 4s since but capable in this grade. Draw tricky for one who often makes running.

Pierre-Louis Jamin | H Palmer | 7 | 61.2 kg |

Down To The Kid (G)
FAV
Six-time course winner, including a 1m hat-trick last spring. Returned from a break with a fine second over 1m here 17 days ago. First 7f run since his debut and he should be quick enough to cope.

N Callan | M Herrington | 7 | 61.2 kg |

| 6th | 5 | 4 |
Sensorium (G)
[T]
Latest win at Chelmsford in October. 9/1, too keen in blinkers when thirteenth of 14 there (6f) 17 days ago, weakening when met some trouble. The blinkers are left now.

Kyle Strydom | Dylan Cunha | 4 | 60.3 kg |

Panelli (G)
[T]
Winner at Lingfield in September. Bit below form when eighth of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 17 days ago.

Jack Dace | S C Williams | 4 | 60.3 kg |

| 8th | 7 | 6 |
Tadreeb (G)
Three wins from 14 runs last year. Eleven runs since last win in 2025. Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Lingfield (7f) 13 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive.
|
Oliver Searle | B R Millman | 8 | 60.3 kg |

6/1
|
| 3rd | 8 | 8 |
Judgment Call (G)
Not the most reliable but arrives in form, winning over 6f at Newcastle last month and respectable fourth of 10 there (6f again) 6 days ago.

Rhys Clutterbuck | Miss L A Perratt | 8 | 59.4 kg |

Havana Sky (G)
[V]
Course winner. Latest win at Lingfield in October. 12/1, creditable second of 12 back at Lingfield (7f) 13 days ago. Visor back on.
|
Jonny Peate | E A L Dunlop | 5 | 59.4 kg |

| 5th | 10 | 7 |
Packetofbiscuits (G)
[B]
Latest win at Leicester in October. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (50/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 8 days ago.

Tyler Heard | J Mackie | 4 | 59 kg |

| 9th | 11 | 11 |
Finn Ironside (G)
[T]
Won back to back at Doncaster and Newcastle (AW) last summer but has posted 2 lesser efforts since. A bounce back is needed.
|
Elle-May Croot | I Furtado | 5 | 57.6 kg |

33/1
|
| 7th | 12 | 2 |
Ashen (G)
Fair maiden. First run since leaving Marcus Tregoning when seventh of 9 in C&D handicap 7 days ago. That was his first outing for 6 months so may come on for it. The type this yard will get wins from at some point.

Lauren Young | J S Goldie | 4 | 57.6 kg |
