- Nevernay
- William Pyle / K Frost

14/1 |
Nevernay
Best effort for current yard when third off a higher mark over C&D in December; seemingly not beaten entirely by the 6f trip in three runs since and remains a maiden.

- Dumfries
- J P Sullivan / Mrs R Carr
|
|
83
|
13/2 |
Dumfries
Lacks recent match practice, having been absent since a below-par effort over C&D in October, and it's two years since his sole win; not the percentage call.

- Pembrokeshire
- Rossa Ryan / M Appleby

7/1 |
Pembrokeshire
Below form in two starts this year for new stable, taking AW record to 0-13; however, has possibilities off a reduced mark provided he takes well to added cheekpieces.

- Tyrese Cameron / M Young

100/1 |
Bitcoin Profit
Off the mark in 8.5f contest here last April; dismal form subsequently in 2024 and needs a big revival in first-time hood on reappearance.

- Sam's Hope
- William Carson / A W Carroll

|
7/1 |
Sam's Hope
Best effort since joining current stable when runner-up at Southwell (7f) last time; capable of going one better, having defied a 3lb higher mark at Kempton last March.

- Pessoa
- Finley Marsh / A Wintle

|
3/1 |
Pessoa
Campaigned mostly at Wolverhampton, winning four times, most recently in early 2024; largely consistent form over 7f-9.5f of late; on a workable mark and not ruled out.
|

- Match Anthem
- L Morris / P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck
|
|
68
|
7/2 |
Match Anthem
Has developed into a consistent sort, having posted form figures of 1142233 since November; gained one of the wins over C&D; again holds a solid chance.

- Heavenly Fire
- D Swift / S Dixon
|

|
14/1 |
Heavenly Fire
Met trouble in classified event here last week; won off this mark over C&D in January but benefited from a pace collapse; strong gallop is ideally needed.

|
- Kapparis Kid
- Aidan Keeley / B Lund

28/1 |
Kapparis Kid
Classified form this year features 6f wins in January/February and a respectable effort over C&D (second run for new yard) last week; 0-14 in handicaps.

- Barney's Bay
- Lewis Edmunds / D Shaw

|
14/1 |
Barney's Bay
Went close at Southwell four starts ago, belying his 40-1 odds; far from consistent otherwise for current stable; not a solid option.
|
|
|
|
- Baroque Pearl
- Hollie Doyle / Martin Dunne
|
|
57
|
14/1 |
Baroque Pearl
The least exposed contender, having raced only four times; holds weak claims on form but may show improvement on handicap debut with Hollie Doyle up for first time.
