On the back of an eyecatching effort, EMILY POST gets the vote. Last-time winners Rich Rhythm (second choice) and One More Dream warrant respect, while a few others also have possibilities.[Steve Boow]

Gradual revival of late and regained the winning thread at Wolverhampton (6f) most recently, taking AW record to 9-33; has won over C&D; still favourably treated back up just 2lb; respected.
Registered her most recent success off 1lb higher over C&D last August; steadily finding her form this year but others have stronger claims on 2025 bare figures.
Inconsistent since getting off the mark at Newcastle (7f novice) in October and doesn't look a solid option; chance partly depends on how well she responds to first-time hood.
Infrequent winner but brings respectable recent form, having been placed off this mark the last twice, finishing 1l second at Wolverhampton (7f) latest; in the mix.
Largely consistent in blinkers on turf last term, winning twice; however, enough to prove off career-high mark returned to AW and switched to cheekpieces on reappearance.
Steadily back to form since returning from a layoff, opening his AW account in C&D contest most recently; historical data suggests he's likely remain competitive despite going back up 4lb.
Has done his winning at Brighton and AW record is 0-23; however, holds a fighting chance, having performed well (close second) in higher grade at this course most recently.
Off the mark in Kempton event (7f) in December but has failed to build on that success, which remains her standout form since joining current yard; not solid.
No win since 2023 but was an eyecatching second behind clearcut winner over C&D most recently, finding a clear passage only when the race was all but over (finished nicely); interesting off current mark.
Four-time AW scorer whose recent Wolverhampton efforts haven't been totally devoid of promise; has form figures of 1323 at Southwell and is on an attractive mark; not ruled out.
All wins over 5f on turf in 2022; hindered by wide trip when upped to 7f and returned to AW on last appearance but still has something to prove in this sphere and at this distance.
