- Swiss Ace
- P Mulrennan / Mrs R Carr

86
|
10/3 |
Swiss Ace
No win since late 2023 but has solid recent C&D form, last time beating all bar a thriving rival who has won again since; good chance off same mark, provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces.

- Quandary
- Callum Rodriguez / E Bethell

|
3/1 |
Quandary
Beaten only a neck by race-fit Tasever in C&D contest on return from six-month layoff, taking AW form figures to 6232232; threatening to win a race in this sphere and is one for the shortlist.

- Novak
- Archie Young / I Jardine

Novak
Consistent form over 6f at Newcastle this year comprises a success and two creditable efforts, latest behind a rival who was completing a quickfire hat-trick; effective at 7f and holds solid claims.

- Outrun The Storm
- D Nolan / R A Fahey

14/1 |
Outrun The Storm
Seems held by Swiss Ace on C&D running last month but may fare better with that reappearance effort under his belt; on last winning mark and is a dual course scorer.
|

- Royal Pleasure
- Billy Garritty / M & D Easterby
|

|
13/2 |
Royal Pleasure
Comes with risk as he's often slowly away and on a three-year losing spell; however, he's on an attractive mark and his performances (6f) for new yard suggest this return to 7f will suit.

- Barnaby
- T Eaves / K A Ryan

|
7/2 |
Barnaby
Latest effort (not disgraced) took his C&D form figures to 111135; could go well but appears to have little in hand from a weights perspective, being 2lb above last winning mark.

- Roaring Ralph
- Lewis Edmunds / M Dods

|
25/1 |
Roaring Ralph
Starts his 2025 campaign on last winning mark but isn't certain to take advantage, having been absent for 100 days and never won when fresh; not the percentage call.
|
|
|
|
- Tasever
- Warren Fentiman / P Morris

|
13/2 |
Tasever
Goes well for apprentice riders; scored gamely under Warren Fentiman most recently, beating Quandary by a neck and taking C&D record to 2-2 (4-10 at Newcastle overall); major contender.

- Bowman
- Cam Hardie / P Morris

|
50/1 |
Bowman
Record of 3-23 on AW; had a consistent spell last year for Danny Brooke until form eventually dipped; revival is required on debut for new stable; remains with same owner.
