- The Thames Boatman
- Finley Marsh / R Hughes

|
11/4 |
The Thames Boatman
He has come up shy in stronger company the last twice but he was finishing with a flourish over 5f here on Monday and returning to 6f shouldn't be an issue (C&D winner); more appealing than most.

- Marco Ghiani / S C Williams

16/1 |
Diomed Spirit
Five AW wins over 5f to his name; ran well over that trip at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start but he failed to back it up here on Monday (behind The Thames Boatman; poorly drawn); may prove effective over 6f in time but it's still something of an unknown factor.

- Mc Loven
- Paddy Bradley / S Dow

6/1 |
Mc Loven
Front-runner; effective at this track and ran well over this trip last March; taken on up front when a close second here four weeks ago but might find it easier dominating this time.

- Many A Star
- Rob Hornby / J A Osborne

5/2 |
Many A Star
In good form in the first half of 2024; the handicapper had his measure for a while but he capitalised on a drop in the weights to win a Wolverhampton handicap on Monday (6f); respected under a penalty but does have to prove he can be as effective around here.

- Giorgio M
- Billy Loughnane / G Boughey

11/1 |
Giorgio M
Has the ability to feature off this mark but slow starts are an issue and he'll need them to go hard around this sharp track; others stronger for win purposes.

- Monsieur Beaulieu
- Hollie Doyle / N P Littmoden

11/4 |
Monsieur Beaulieu
Fairly bolted up over 7f here last month and although he's been beaten twice since, he's left the distinct impression there is still mileage in this sort of mark (caught wide and raced freely through the early part of his latest 7f run); a well-run 6f should be fine and he's an intriguing contender.

- Caffu Zafeen
- Daniel Muscutt / D M Simcock

8/1 |
Caffu Zafeen
Lightly raced maiden; ran okay on his stable debut three weeks ago and could be sharper with that run behind him; not discounted.

- Macanudo
- Ryan Kavanagh / Ian Williams

40/1 |
Macanudo
0-13 for Ian Williams but he often ran well in 2024; should win races this year but perhaps not this one.
