25/1 |
Sergeant Wilko
Front-runner who posted four handicap wins during last year's 3yo campaign (6f, AW/good to soft) and returned to form when fourth at Newcastle (6f, AW) three weeks ago; can make a bold bid in first-time cheekpieces.

- Wodao
- William Carver / J A Osborne

|
107
|
40/1 |
Wodao
2yo Listed winner in 2022 and his reduced mark appeals on last season's best efforts (which came on slow ground); however, he's been absent since a below-par run last November and others have less to prove.

- W Buick / H Al Jehani

5/2 |
Fine Interview
Two wins last October (6f, soft) and reappeared with close third of 19 at Doncaster (6f, good) in March; that latest form reads well and this progressive 4yo has the same mark today; major player.

- Durham Castle
- Harry Davies / S & E Crisford

|
10/3 |
Durham Castle
Won Southwell maiden (6f, AW) last August on third start and followed up on handicap debut at Goodwood (6f, good; unraced on softer); 9lb higher for this reappearance but he had 3l to spare last time and this unexposed 4yo could still be ahead of the handicapper.

- Pals Battalion
- D Tudhope / D O'Meara
|
|
104
|
10/1 |
Pals Battalion
Four AW wins since last October and he's gone close back on turf the last twice (6f, good/good to firm); also handles soft; each-way claims.

- Tinto
- Rhys Elliott / M Dods

33/1 |
Tinto
Two wins at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last year and returned to form with nose second there (5f, good) four weeks ago; ran well over this C&D (heavy) in 2022 on his sole visit here and is not ruled out.
|
|
|
- Arctic Thunder
- R Havlin / E Walker
|
|
|
22/1 |
Arctic Thunder
Won at Ascot (7f, good) last May for Andrew Balding; however, he failed to kick on from that and weakened quickly and was pulled up on last month's stable and seasonal debut at Kempton (7f, AW); something to prove.
|
|
|
- Baldomero
- Cieren Fallon / M Appleby
|
|
109
|
66/1 |
Baldomero
Won at Goodwood (6f, heavy) and Doncaster (6.5f, soft) last year and fast ground was against him at Windsor on recent reappearance; he's probably of interest only if the ground turns testing.

- Dakota Gold
- Connor Beasley / M Dods

|
28/1 |
Dakota Gold
11yo who isn't the force of old but showed he retains plenty of spark with reappearance win at Ripon (6f, good) last month; won on soft ground last year; back up just 3lb and could produce another bold show.
|
|
|
- King's Lynn
- Oisin Murphy / A M Balding
|
|
114
|
15/2 |
King's Lynn
8yo whose form has deteriorated and he's winless since May 2022; however, he ran two pretty good races on AW earlier this year and his mark continues to fall; 2-2 here (Listed/Group 2); not ruled out back at Haydock.

Bosh
Well treated on last year's best efforts for Richard Hannon but below that level on his three outings this season and needs to raise his game.

- Kodi Lion
- Frederick Larson / M Appleby

106
|
5/1 |
Kodi Lion
Runner-up at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month on second stable start and filled same position at Ascot (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; versatile ground-wise and could be in the mix.
|
|
|
- Grant Wood
- Cam Hardie / P T Midgley
|
|
106
|
25/1 |
Grant Wood
Four wins last year (including C&D on fast going) and runner-up on AW the last twice; unproven on slow ground; each-way shout if conditions suit.
|
|
|
- Cajetan
- Charles Bishop / J Channon
|
|
92
|
28/1 |
Cajetan
5l win at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December but hit hard by the handicapper and no better than sixth across his four runs since; 0-7 on turf (as opposed to 3-8 on AW) and others are preferred.
|
|
|
|
|
109
|
33/1 |
Woven
9yo who isn't easy to win with nowadays but last victory came over C&D (soft) last September and he's now just 2lb higher; mid-division on reappearance at Doncaster (6f, good) in March when denied a clear run and could build on that effort, especially if getting slow ground; each-way contender.

- Sergeant Pep
- Rossa Ryan / C G Cox

33/1 |
Sergeant Pep
Won last year over C&D (good) and at Leicester (5f, heavy) and that progressive campaign concluded with a fair third at Newbury (6f, heavy); further improvement is possible for his good yard and he's not ruled out.
|

|
- Trilby
- S A Gray / S England
|
|
105
|
10/1 |
Trilby
Won at Beverley (5f, good) last month and respectable efforts both starts since, not beaten far at York most recently when 5f on fast ground probably wasn't ideal; ran five times here last season and won on three (6f/5f, good-heavy); one to consider now back here and back up in trip.
