|
9/2 |
Enchanting
C&D record of 1251, the wins coming on slower than good; absent since a lacklustre effort at York last October; could well progress again this year but she has an absence to contend with and won't be able to get away with sloppy starts off her current mark.

Michaela's Boy
Won twice on AW around the turn of the year and he has run well in three of his last four starts, including on turf at Epsom last month (5f, good); sharp test at 5f suits him well but others perhaps better handicapped.

11/1 |
Almaty Star
Dropped away at Epsom last month but he'd been in fine form on AW going into that contest; C&D winner on only other Goodwood visit (small field); Wolverhampton second in March off this mark shows he's still feasibly weighted; not ruled out.

- David Probert / C G Cox

7/1 |
Miss Show Off
Back to her best when readily accounting for four rivals at Salisbury 19 days ago (5f, good to firm); still has low mileage but the handicapper didn't miss with an 8lb hike.

Marching Mac
Something clicked last autumn and he won five times between September and November, soaring up the handicap in the process; ended 2024 with a lesser effort at Nottingham, however, and best watched off his lofty mark on his return from 198 days off.

Moulin Booj
Doesn't know how to run a bad race but that does his handicap mark no favours; near miss at Musselburgh three weeks ago and this strong traveller should be well suited by an end-to-end gallop over a sharp 5f; each-way claims once again.

- Rocking Ends
- Rossa Ryan / Tom Clover

9/2 |
Rocking Ends
Always had stacks of ability and he did well for Tom Clover last summer, winning 5f handicaps at Windsor and Newmarket; looked rusty on his return to action at Nottingham two weeks ago, typically taking a strong hold, and he could take a step forward with that behind him; the likely strong pace will suit and Rossa Ryan is a positive booking; high on the list.

- Cinque Verde
- D Egan / A W Carroll

|
22/1 |
Cinque Verde
Has won on fast turf but her record is far superior on AW (7-18); still improving judged on her excellent second of ten at Lingfield on Good Friday; returns to grass off a 5lb lower mark and she can't be ignored.

- Twilight Fun
- Joey Haynes / C Banham

40/1 |
Twilight Fun
Hugely progressive on AW and latest Epsom run, where he looked ill at ease on both the track and the ground, is easy to strike a line through; this should be more suitable and he's still on a workable mark.

- Mc Loven
- Paddy Bradley / S Dow

14/1 |
Mc Loven
Speedy front-runner who has run well in each of his three C&D starts; gelded since his latest start; should make another bold bid back here.

- Jack Callan / R Cook & J Bridger

|
20/1 |
Faustus
Back to the same mark as when winning at Newbury last August (5f, good to firm); Monday's Windsor fourth was a step up on his Epsom reappearance; likely to be winning soon but perhaps not in a race with quite so many pace influences in it.

- Alcazan
- Joe Leavy / R A Teal

|
7/1 |
Alcazan
Two course wins over 6f and it was over 7f that she finished a good third at Lingfield on Good Friday; does have winning 5f form, however, and surplus stamina no bad thing given how hard they could go here.

- Kiss And Run
- Mason Paetel / R Cook & J Bridger

|
6/1 |
Kiss And Run
C&D winner who lurks on a handy mark; last month's return to action at Bath should have blown away any cobwebs but she is yet another runner in the field who is happiest making the running.
