Circe
1m win at Newbury last summer; pleasing return to action when fourth at Doncaster three weeks ago (7f, good) and dropped 1lb since; should remain competitive.

Cruyff Turn
Three of his eight wins have come over C&D; has no great record fresh so it was encouraging that he could run so well over 1m here two weeks ago, his first outing since November; major player back down in trip.

Woodstock
Well suited by 7f on a sound surface last year, his first season with Ruth Carr; may have needed last month's return to action at Doncaster and better is expected with that behind him.

Al Muqdad
AW win last March but his form took off on turf in the summer, adding 7f handicaps at Ayr (twice) and Doncaster to his tally in midsummer; ended 2024 with another career-best RPR when second at Ayr (7f, good to firm); likely to progress again this year but he goes without the cheekpieces he wore on his most recent start now back from seven months off.

Lerwick
Runner-up off similar marks twice this winter when trained by Ed Bethell; weakened in the closing stages on last month's stable debut and he'll need a clear personal best back on turf.

5/1 |
Master Richard
Getting on for two years since the last of his four wins but he ran some good races in the second half of 2024; had a wind op since last seen; down in the weights but others appeal more.

40/1 |
The Green Man
Well handicapped on 2023 form but he had a quiet year in 2024 and neither run for his new stable has suggested he's ready to strike; the return to 7f and a wind op since last seen will offer encouragement to his potential supporters.

Project Black
Looked a good prospect as a 2yo, winning a 6f novice here (soft) either side of placed efforts at York and Newcastle; bitterly disappointing in two handicaps in the spring of 2023, after which he was gelded; absent for 713 days but makes his stable debut (same owner) off a reduced mark; betting to guide now tackling 7f for the first time.

Livio Milo
7f winner for Dermot Weld; attracted support on recent stable debut (1m, good) but never featured in a race in which those held up were disadvantaged; up in class today; interesting to see if his backers return.
