2/1 |
Candy Warhol
No win in first 24 starts but he's made all here in two of his last three runs, including over C&D last Saturday; up 6lb but that was a comfortable success on his first run at this trip and he remains well treated on best form; leading contender.

Due Date
Five-time AW winner including two over C&D; last success was in a classified event at Chelmsford in January but he's finished close up back in handicaps in both runs since; usually races prominently and he should be in the mix again.

Mehmo
All six wins have been at 5f and latest was on turf 12 months ago; finished a creditable fourth over C&D on his penultimate start but he didn't pack a punch at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) last time and others are preferred.

Vitalline
All four AW wins have come on Polytrack; returned from an absence with a respectable fourth over C&D in February but he failed to build on that here last month; on dangerous mark but has another tough draw and others look more likely.

Supernova Steps
Successful in a 6f handicap at Southwell in November but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; respectable efforts after slow starts in her two runs (C&D/turf) this spring but she's now 1-11 and needs to find more in first-time blinkers.

Bankrupt
Recorded his fifth AW win when making all at Lingfield (5f classified) in January but he's taken backward steps here (6f/5f) in two subsequent runs; bit to prove again and he could have competition for the lead; cheekpieces removed.

Araifjan
Seven-time winner but none since in November 2023; went close over C&D in September but he's been well held in three runs since; may have needed his recent reappearance but he's not easy to predict and others are more convincing; tongue-tie back on.

Black Cab
Unexposed 4yo; made some late headway when fifth on handicap debut over C&D (40-1) last week but that was behind Candy Warhol and he has a tough draw in this rematch; could be one for another day.

40/1 |
Rain Cap
Had some close calls last year but he ended 2024 with a heavy defeat at Newcastle (6f), when he bled from the nose and was reported to have had an irregular heartbeat; has something to prove after 193 days off and his last win was in July 2023.

Savalas
Defied this mark over C&D in November and he was a creditable third in a classified event here last month; drawn out wide again but has possibilities if he gets a good pace to aim at and some luck.

- Elle-May Croot / I Furtado

May Remain
Went close in a classified over C&D last month but he wasn't in the same form here last time and that took his losing run to 18; risks attached.

Snow Boots
Seven-race maiden who has not finished closer than 6l to a winner including in three sprint handicaps this spring; makes no appeal.

Tommytwohoots
Dual C&D winner who came well clear on turf (6f) in October; has had a few placed efforts at Newcastle since but he's been well held on Tapeta in last two runs and needs to get back in the groove.
