The Cursor (G)
Fairly useful performer who made it fifth time lucky when seeing off 4 rivals in a C&D novice (good to firm) last July. Not seen since but retains unexposed potential for a leading yard.

Non Runner | A M Balding | 4 | 62.1 kg |

Charmaine (M)
A dual all-weather winner at Southwell and Kempton last spring and made a creditable return from 6 months off when second of 7 at Wolverhampton (1½m) 21 days ago. Just as effective on turf. Likely to go well.

Arron D'Arcy | J R Fanshawe | 5 | 61.7 kg |

| 6th | 3 | 1 |
Maghlaak (G)
Chase winner for new yard in November. Off since a poor run at Market Rasen on Boxing Day. Went close off a similar mark on the Flat last spring but hard to be sure he'll be in the same form back from a break.

Rhys Elliott | M Walford | 7 | 60.8 kg |

Ghaiyya (F)
Three 1½m wins last year but ended that campaign with a couple of lesser efforts. Off 6 months. Others are more persuasive.

Connor Beasley | C Johnston | 4 | 60.8 kg |

Sea Of Kings (G)
FAV
[T]
Fairly useful form without winning last year, including solid runs in ultra-competitive handicaps at Glorious Goodwood and the York Ebor meeting. Likely to have a major say if fully primed after 8 months off.

James Doyle | Harry Eustace | 4 | 60.3 kg |

Machete (G)
Winner at Newcastle in December. Runner-up there next time but has been operating a little below that level since. Needs a return to turf to spark a revival.
|
D Tudhope | D O'Meara | 7 | 59.9 kg |

8/1

| 5th | 7 | 8 |
Kimeko Glory (F)
Three 1¼m wins on turf for Brian Toomey last year. Creditable second over this trip at Lingfield this winter on first 2 outings for Charlie Hills but well held over 1¼m there in January. Freshened up since.
|
Cieren Fallon | C Hills | 4 | 57.6 kg |

Something (G)
Back on form for new yard when second over 11f at Kempton in February but failed to reproduce that back on turf at Yarmouth since.

S M Levey | S C Williams | 5 | 56.2 kg |
