William Dewhirst
He has built up a head of steam here this winter, winning six times (five at 7f and once over this trip); respectable third here nine days ago and he can race off 3lb lower today; big player once more.

Pals Battalion
Three 6f Tapeta wins in the latter part of 2024, two of them over C&D; second behind reopposing rivals here on his last two starts; unlikely to be far away.

Rebel Empire
The addition of a tongue-tie has been beneficial this winter, winning easily at Southwell in December and adding further successes at Lingfield and Chelmsford (all 6f); caught out wide when disappointing at Kempton last week; better expected here.

Mondammej
Rediscovered his mojo after wind surgery in October, winning four handicaps here (three over 5f, one over this trip) since November 23rd; mixed bag since but his latest Southwell third wasn't far off this winter's best.

Fortamour
Veteran sprinter who hasn't won away from Ripon since September 2020; no problem with conditions but others are more appealing on the back of his 145-day absence.
