|
13/2 |
Outrace
Clearcut winner on AW at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in November but he's lost his way in last four starts including a laboured effort over C&D last month; now only 1lb higher than for last win but he needs to get back on track.

Anglo Saxson
Five-time turf winner and last four have been under prominent tactics at this trip (good/good to firm); was a bit up and down last season but he returned from a break with a good third of 15 at Yarmouth last month; on unchanged mark and he's a big player if he can back that up.

Expecto
Won as 2yo for Jim Bolger and was competitive in 1m-1m1f handicaps last summer; looks feasibly treated on her best form but she returned for new yard with a tame effort over C&D (good to firm; 40-1) last month and is hard to recommend after that.

20/1 |
Fighting Queen
4yo who has been well held at big prices in three AW runs this spring, most recently when 12l sixth at Wolverhampton last month; still early days but she needs a transformation on handicap/turf debut.

- Finley Marsh / S Hodgson

9/1 |
Villalobos
Five-time AW winner who is 1-15 on turf but he didn't get any luck back in this sphere over C&D (well backed into 6-1) last month; should get a decent tow into this race and could be a big factor if he gets the breaks this time.

- Joey Haynes / R Harris

|
20/1 |
Weston Court
Two front-running wins on fast ground last summer (including over C&D) but he struggled in final two runs last season; now only 2lb higher than for last win but he needs a major revival after 245 days off.

|
|
- Tactical Control
- R Kingscote / B Brookhouse
|
|
81
|
7/4 |
Tactical Control
Record of 1-22 and was disappointing at Chelmsford last month, but he went close on Tapeta on his penultimate run and his win was off 11lb higher at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last August; has another change of headgear and could be dangerous if he can bounce back.

- Eye Of The Water
- Joe Leavy / R Harris

|
10/1 |
Eye Of The Water
His last three wins were in 2023, including this race; well handicapped on old form but he was generally disappointing last year and is ideally suited by some cut in the ground; looks opposable back from 140 days off.

- L Morris / Joe Ponting

|
25/1 |
Olympic Quest
Won at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last January but has mixed record since and she's finished down the field in her three runs this year; on reduced mark and is still unexposed on turf but she has plenty to prove back in this sphere; cheekpieces added.

- Jack Dace / S Hodgson

|
|
50/1 |
Rebel Cove
Didn't show much in her qualifying runs and was last of 12 on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; still unexposed but needs cheekpieces to make a big difference on this switch to turf.
