Aneirin's Sword (G)
Much improved on his handicap bow when dead-heated in 8-runner event at Chelmsford City (8f, 14/1) 4 days ago. Carries 6 lb penalty but not taken lightly in his current mood.

Saffie Osborne | J A Osborne | 3 | 61.7 kg |

| 3rd | 2 | 2 |
Snaafy (G)
Opened his account over C&D in December and backed it up with a solid third of 8 in nursery back at this C&D 7 days ago. Can give another good account off the same mark.

Rowan Scott | D Loughnane | 3 | 61.2 kg |

Roserunner (C)
FAV
Roseman colt built on debut promise when landing 5-runner novice at Lingfield (8f, AW) 20 days ago, despite challenging wide. Starts life in handicaps on a good mark so big shout.

Marco Ghiani | M Botti | 3 | 60.8 kg |

My Champion (G)
Progressive son of Ardad who came in a very good second of 8 in nursery at Newcastle (6f) 60 days ago. This step up in trip promises to suit so he's a player nudged up 1 lb.

Callum Rodriguez | E Bethell | 3 | 60.3 kg |

Alfa Patisserie (F)
Advanced her form after 5 months off on her nursery bow when bagging 7-runner event at Newcastle (8f) 50 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Popty Ping. Up 4 lb but she ought to be thereabouts.

S M Levey | I Furtado | 3 | 60.3 kg |

Popty Ping (F)
[V]
Consistent sort who landed 7f Southwell nursery in December. Followed it with a good second of 5 in nursery at Newcastle (7.1f) 8 days ago. Well in the mix off an unchanged mark now back up in distance.

D Nolan | D O'Meara | 3 | 59.9 kg |

Karisma's Angel (F)
Dark Angel filly who has been brought along steadily, eleventh of 14 in novice at Southwell (7.1f, 28/1) 18 days ago. Can do better now stepping up in trip for her handicap debut.
|
Cieren Fallon | E Walker | 3 | 59 kg |

King Victorious (G)
[T]
Yet to score but he arrives in decent nick, third of 7 in nursery at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago. Possibilities over this longer distance.

P Cosgrave | G Boughey | 3 | 58.5 kg |
