Spirit Of Acklam
Well beaten in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on reappearance at Doncaster last month but this lightly raced 4yo may have needed the run and he's 1lb lower than when a close third over C&D last October; chance.

Samra Star
Won Wolverhampton novice for Richard Hughes last August and fair third there in January; however, this headstrong filly was soundly on her recent stable debut at Musselburgh and is perhaps best watched for now.

Sea Regal
Inconsistent during last season's 3yo campaign for William Haggas but she showed plenty of ability on a couple of occasions; changed hands for 25,000gns in December and new trainer often does very well with recruits from other stables; interesting to see how she goes in the betting.

Cougar
Useful on the Flat and over hurdles in 2022; however, he struggled on two hurdle starts earlier this year and it's been the same story back on the Flat for this yard the last twice; lots to prove.

Cavallo Pazzo
Lacks a recent run and needs to prove his stamina, but he returned to form with a staying-on fourth over 7f at Redcar last November when last seen and he's worth another go at this trip; not discounted.

9/2 |
Curran
He's now 10lb lower than when a fair third over C&D last July and he may have needed this month's reappearance run; however, he was also soundly beaten on his final three runs last year and has to turn things around.

18/1 |
Can't Stop Now
Inconsistent last season and tailed off over C&D when last seen; however, he's posted wins over C&D on two of his last four starts (good to soft/good) and can be bang there if at the top of his game on this return.

Chiefman
Lightly raced 4yo who is well handicapped on his form last spring and perhaps his fortunes will have been revived by a break; however, he was beaten a long way on his final two outings last season, which dents confidence.

Sophiesticate
C&D winner who is 4lb lower than when winning at Musselburgh in June 2023; this is her first run since that October; not written off on comeback but it's a very hefty absence to defy.

Ayr Poet
10yo who was soundly beaten more often than not in the second half of last year but he managed a C&D win in October (his fifth success here) and ran pretty well first time up last spring; not ruled out.
