- Little Empire
- D Tudhope / A McCann

|
81
|
9/4 |
Little Empire
Two wins in Britain last year, the second of them at this track (1m, good) when rated 10lb lower; comes here on the back of two good runs at Dundalk in the spring; one to consider.

- Leap Day
- D Allan / T D Easterby
|
|

|
15/2 |
Leap Day
Just one win from 19 starts but he has run two solid races this spring, runner-up at Catterick and Leicester (both 7f on good to firm); no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well again.

- John L Sullivan
- C Lee / Miss Lucinda V Russell

10/1 |
John L Sullivan
Perhaps not the most straightforward but he's talented for this grade and he won twice last year, over 1m at Wetherby and 7f at Musselburgh; more to come this year and he's had a wind operation since last seen; untried on fast ground but he's on the shortlist.

50/1 |
Pallas Lord
In good form on AW this year but he's been disappointing in two runs back on turf; others have less to prove.

- Roaring Ralph
- Connor Beasley / M Dods

14/1 |
Roaring Ralph
Form dipped over 6f at Haydock last month; handicap mark well within range and this season's best efforts bring him into the picture; drawn widest though.

- Dwindling Funds
- Amie Waugh / J S Goldie

|
66/1 |
Dwindling Funds
Unsighted on his first two starts but he showed much more when fourth of eight over 6f here three weeks ago (cheekpieces first time, retained), losing third late on; that isn't easy form to assess with confidence but he's open to more improvement now handicapping at a realistic level.

- Sir Garfield
- Jason Hart / J & S Quinn

|
4/1 |
Sir Garfield
C&D win last October; two quiet efforts to start his 4yo campaign but he was back on the up when gamely winning a 7f handicap at Catterick last week; unpenalised for that apprentice-race win so has to be of interest.

- Moyola
- Warren Fentiman / Miss Lucinda V Russell
|

89
|
22/1 |
Moyola
Out of sorts when last seen around the turn of the year and he's had a wind operation since (his second); dangerous mark but has his first run over 7f this afternoon.
|
|
|
|
- Inanna
- P Mulrennan / J S Goldie
|
|
84
|
5/1 |
Inanna
Won twice over sprint trips last September; off the mark for 2025 when coming from off the pace to win cosily over C&D three weeks ago; a 2lb rise doesn't handicap her out of things and she's a solid contender.
|
|
|
|
- Trais Fluors
- K T O'Neill / Miss L A Perratt
|
|
81
|
28/1 |
Trais Fluors
Quirky veteran who won three times on AW last year; solid third behind Inanna over C&D on his return to turf three weeks ago; today's bigger field might suit and he holds each-way claims.
|

- Carlton And Co
- Lewis Chalkley / M & D Easterby

|
18/1 |
Carlton And Co
Ended 2024 with a couple of good AW runs; may have needed the run when fifth on her reappearance at Doncaster four weeks ago; effective at 7f but her best form has come over sprint trips.
|
|
|
|
- Clasina
- Joanna Mason / K Scott
|
|
90
|
9/1 |
Clasina
11-race maiden who has been beaten favourite in both starts this year, more recently finishing fifth of six behind Inanna over C&D three weeks ago; edging down the weights but she's up in class today.

- Golden Valour
- Rhys Elliott / R M Smith

|
66/1 |
Golden Valour
Ended a long losing run when landing the 1m apprentice handicap on this card 12 months ago; added a 7f win at Musselburgh in October but still 2lb higher and he's not found his best in two runs this year.
|

- Rory
- Lauren Young / J S Goldie

|
33/1 |
Rory
Ran poorly at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last week but was drawn wide; earlier 6f third here was a fair run but others look more persuasive.
