Court Drive
Gained her first win since her debut when easily seeing off eight rivals at Kempton in January (6f); not so good at Southwell 11 days later and she is another 1lb higher today.

Rebecca's Girl
Three course wins this winter, including at this trip; solid placed efforts the last twice and likely to go well once again.

Sir Garfield
Won two 7f handicaps on turf last season, sporting blinkers on each occasion; made a low-key reappearance at Southwell 18 days ago (7f; cheekpieces first time, retained); opposable dropped to 6f.

Lord Abama
Won twice at Thirsk last summer and he broke his AW duck with a hard-fought C&D success when last seen in November; 3lb higher but could progress again this year.

Run This Way
Prominent racer; completed a hat-trick on turf last summer and she is now 1lb lower than for her last success; has needed her reappearance in the last two years.

Nazca
Had a purple patch in a seven-month stretch between August 2023 and March 2024, winning six times (three over C&D); back to his last winning mark but recent efforts haven't suggested he was ready to capitalise; cheekpieces back on today (well beaten in them when worn previously).

Match Play
Big eyecatcher over 5f here last month but he ran poorly over this trip at Southwell 11 days ago; now tried in a hood and he's well up to winning races off his lowly mark.

- Oriental Prince
- Non Runner / J S Goldie

7/2 |
Oriental Prince
The winner of four of his last six starts and last week's Southwell win was his first at this trip; not the only pace in the race but still improving and he's a key player despite a 4lb rise.

Mighty Power
Low-key stable debut at Southwell 11 days ago; dropped 3lb and appeals as the type to pop up at some point soon; perhaps that will be when dropping into Class 6 company though.

Danzart
Ran poorly at Wolverhampton when last seen seven months ago but there had been several good runs beforehand; back from an absence perhaps not the day to catch him.

- Ryan Sexton / Miss J A Camacho

2/1 |
Mayo County
Well backed and ran out an easy winner over C&D 12 days ago, her second run after a wind op; yard can do little wrong at present and she's a key player despite a 7lb rise.

Little Muddy
Won at Doncaster on seasonal return in 2023 and ran her best race last year at the Lincoln meeting, again after a break; struggled from August onwards though and, while she's on a reduced mark, now has a bit to prove.
