Sovereign Applause (F)
[V1T]
Yet to trouble the judge and was always behind on her return from hurdling at Doncaster 4 weeks ago. Wears first-time visor going back up in trip but others are preferred.

Abila (F)
[P]
Mid-field in 2 French maidens and hasn't posed any sort of threat in 4 starts for current connections. Return to this trip needs to spark improvement.

Rose Warrior (G)
[P1]
Not the easiest of rides (tends to require plenty of encouragement) but got back on track when fourth of 16 at Lingfield (1½m, all-weather) when last seen in October. Left Daniel & Claire Kubler for 8,000 gns later that month and now in a …

Hickton (G)
Ended 2025 with wins at Hamilton and Southwell in the autumn. Pulled hard on return at Southwell last month and didn't really build on that when down the field at Catterick (1½m, good to firm, 9/2) 17 days ago, so little bit to prove now.

Angelardo (G)
Looked suited by the step up to 2m when pulling 3¼ lengths clear at Newcastle in March. A steady gallop and drop back to 13.3f didn't play to his strengths later that month. Kept to a similar trip here but this looks a thin race and he mig…

Nala The Lioness (M)
[T]
Modest maiden for Karl Burke. Missed the bulk of 2025 and has shown nothing in 3 all-weather starts for current connections this year.

K T O'Neill | D Killahena & G McPherson | 6 | 59.4 kg |

| 5th | 7 | 4 |
Argentum (F)
Encouraging third at Kempton on return but below that level next 2 starts on Flat and went with no promise sent hurdling at Huntingdon last month. Well treated at least if able to bounce back.

Ring Fenced (M)
FAV
[BT]
Hasn't stood much racing in recent seasons but she confirmed she retains some ability when second of 10 in handicap at this C&D 43 days ago. A reproduction of that form will see her in the mix again.

Easter Sundae (G)
[P]
Ran well at huge odds with first-time cheekpieces applied when second at Newcastle in February but failed to back that up when only ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (1½m) 20 days ago.

J P Sullivan | J S Wainwright | 7 | 57.2 kg |

Apache Eagle (G)
[TP]
Long-standing maiden was runner-up at Chelmsford in February and shaped quite well having met trouble after just a 2-day break when third of 8 in a handicap at this C&D 43 days ago. Player on that effort.

Trouble In Chicago (F)

Hasn't shown any ability in maidens/novices. Needs to improve now blinkered for handicap debut.
