- Collusion
- Mr Fletcher Yarham / Dylan Cunha

9/4 |
Collusion
0-6 but went close on handicap debut at Yarmouth in October and he was a fair fourth on last month's yard debut at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta), which was a lot better performance than most of these managed last time; player.

- McCauley's Tavern
- Mr S Walker / M Appleby

9/2 |
McCauley's Tavern
His two wins came over C&D in the first third of last year; down the field on Tapeta the last twice but the return to Polytrack looks a likely plus and he's below his last winning mark; firmly in calculations.

El Hibri
C&D winner whose mark is 4lb lower than when scoring at Chelmsford last May; however, he's struggled to get competitive since and was well beaten at Wolverhampton last time.

- Big Bard
- Mr Ben Pollard / G & J Moore

7/2 |
Big Bard
He can miss the break and/or take a keen hold, but he's just 2lb higher than when winning at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) last July and was a fair sixth of 12 over this C&D last month on his second run after a break; chance.

Dan Dee Prince
Well treated on form as recent as last May and it's possible the visor and drop back to 6f will suit this headstrong sort; however, he's finished down the field on his last four starts and his claims aren't compelling.

- Under Curfew
- Miss S L Bowen / A W Carroll

6/1 |
Under Curfew
9yo who twice went close over 5f towards the end of last year and was beaten just over 1l when fifth of 11 at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) on Saturday; also effective on Polytrack and could be in the mix.

- Heartrate
- Miss Tilly Evans / D M Loughnane

17/2 |
Heartrate
Well beaten at Southwell last time to take his losing sequence to 15; however, he was in good form previously (including over C&D) and could be a contender if bouncing back from that latest run.

- Don't Fight It
- Miss Megan Jordan / J & S Best
|
|
49
|
18/1 |
Don't Fight It
0-11 since last win in August 2022 but she was a close third in first-time blinkers (retained) over C&D last time and she'll be bang there if reproducing that form following a 105-day break.
