Runners
| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10th | 1 | 5 |
Union Island (G)
[P]
Resumed winning ways at Lingfield (1m) in February. Not discredited when fourth of 8 in 1m handicap at Newcastle later that month but below par at Southwell 3 weeks ago ahead of this return to turf.

Mariner (G)
[P]
Won 3 times for current yard last year, including this race. Not disgraced in 2 comeback outings this spring and could make a bold bid for back-to-back wins in this having dipped to 3 lb below his last successful mark.

Cam Hardie | J Candlish | 5 | 61.2 kg |

| 12th | 3 | 9 |
Siam Fox (G)
C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Out of sorts when last seen in the autumn. Has had a breathing operation ahead of this first outing for 6 months. Others are more persuasive.

J Mitchell | K Frost | 8 | 61.2 kg |

Whiskey Pete (G)
Unreliable sort. Nineteen runs since last sole win in 2023. 28/1, last of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (1m, good to soft) on reappearance 15 days ago. Hard to be positive after that.
|
Faye McManoman | N Tinkler | 5 | 60.8 kg |

20/1

| 11th | 5 | 11 |
Chuzzlewit (G)
On a long losing run and hasn't offered enough in this year's all-weather starts to suggest that is likely to change now.
|
S M Levey | S Spencer | 6 | 60.8 kg |

| 7th | 6 | 10 |
Queen Of Good News (F)
Made a winning reappearance after a breathing operation in 14-runner handicap at Yarmouth (1m, good, 9/1) 14 days ago. A 4 lb rise is offset by Toby Moore's claim. A must for the shortlist.

Toby Moore | P Owens | 4 | 60.3 kg |

| 5th | 7 | 6 |
U S S Constitution (G)
Justified support when capitalising on a very lenient mark on return to Britain at Kempton (7f) in February. Seemed to find 7f at Lingfield a bit on the sharp side when third of 7 since and remains with handicapping scope back at 1m on tur…

K Shoemark | E Walker | 6 | 60.3 kg |

Wolf Of Badenoch (G)
FAV
Without a win since his debut back in June 2024, finishing last of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 25 days ago. The eyeshields worn on that occasion are quickly discarded. Not easy to make a case for.

Cieren Fallon | T Culhane & S Barclay | 4 | 60.3 kg |

Relevant Range (G)
In good heart on all-weather this winter but only tenth of 14 back on turf here (1¼m, good to soft) 28 days ago,

R P Downey | I Furtado | 7 | 59.9 kg |

|
| 9th | 10 | 8 |
Pisanello (G)
Useful earlier in his career but has now gone 19 runs since last win in 2024. Down to a career-low mark but betting is perhaps the best guide after 5 months off.
|
D Tudhope | D O'Meara | 9 | 59.9 kg |

| 1st | 11 | 2 |
Fire Eyes (M)
Struck twice in 1m handicaps at Redcar in the second half of last season. Might be in a bit better form than this year's results suggest (got no run at Beverley last week) and his mark continues to ease.

Connor Beasley | Roger Fell | 8 | 59.4 kg |

7/1

| 6th | 12 | 4 |
Barleybrown (G)
[P]
Encouraging third of 9 on 1m Newcastle reappearance but failed to build on that back there since. Bounce back needed.

William Pyle | Mrs R Carr | 6 | 57.2 kg |

|
| 3rd | 13 | 1 |
Pretty Spirited (F)
Successful around 1m at Leicester (good) and Lingfield (all-weather) last summer. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on final start, ridden too aggressively. Much depends on whether he's fully primed after 7 months …
