- Arlington
- D Nolan / B Smart

|
62
|
3/1 |
Arlington
Both his wins have come here over 6f; front-running second of 11 in a similar race over C&D 12 days ago (winner Lady Of The Garr runs in the 1.11); dangerous if in the same form.

Ben Dikduk
Has not fired on his last four starts and it would be surprising if there weren't a few stronger now he's dropping back to 5f.

33/1 |
Birdie Bowers
Won twice in a fortnight in August 2022 but his losing run stands at 20 and his last two efforts this summer were poor; risky back from six months off.

- Alex Jary / I Jardine

28/1 |
Borough
Tumbled down the weights after a miserable 2024 campaign, often blighted by slow starts; beaten only 3l in a similar race here 12 days ago but it was still some way short of his best and he has work to do with Arlington on that run.

- Tommie Jakes / Miss L A Perratt

9/2 |
Henery Hawk
Huge chance on his 2024 best and perhaps needed the run when last seen five weeks ago (after 11 weeks off); dangerous at this level.

- John Kirkup
- A Mullen / D Thompson

12/1 |
John Kirkup
He's become hard to win with in recent seasons and was out of sorts when last seen in the autumn; others appeal more, even at this lowly level.

- Rockley Point
- Jake Dickson / K Scott

|
12/1 |
Rockley Point
Veteran who retains enthusiasm; close up in fifth in a similar race here 12 days ago but he was behind Arlington on that occasion.

- Shatin Venture
- P Mulrennan / Miss L A Perratt
|

|
9/1 |
Shatin Venture
Unplaced in all seven starts; has hinted at ability and Paul Mulrennan is booked, but a good step forward is needed to win.

- Spanish Angel
- J P Sullivan / Mrs R Carr

9/2 |
Spanish Angel
Enough good runs last year to give him a shout at this level but he's not quite firing on all cylinders at present.

|
- Stallone
- Faye Mcmanoman / M Dods
|
|
62
|
11/1 |
Stallone
Won this race 12 months ago and added a C&D handicap last March; behind a couple of today's rivals here 12 days ago but that was after a short break and he could be a more potent force today.

|
- Stroxx
- Billy Garritty / L Bailey

|
61
|
10/1 |
Stroxx
Just one win from 56 starts; has run well over C&D and he bumped into an interesting one for the grade when second at Southwell last week, but he is usually worth taking on for win purposes.

- The Princes Poet
- Ryan Kavanagh / I W Mcinnes

The Princes Poet
Latest handicap fifth wasn't a bad effort but it's been a while since his last win and others are more appealing.
