- Bay Of Naples
- Andrea Pinna / M Herrington

|
64
|
11/2 |
Bay Of Naples
Infrequent winner now but consistent and he gave it a good shot magainst a subsequent triple winner, over 1m3f here in October; had wind surgery since latest run before Christmas and well worth considering in his first classified run.

- Pittsburg
- Hollie Doyle / R Potter

14/1 |
Pittsburg
Five wins, one at 1m3f on Kempton Polytrack last spring; no obvious standout on these terms but he wasn't beaten far at Wolverhampton recently and he does act well here; not dismissed.

- Recorwoman
- Elle-May Croot / I Furtado

50/1 |
Recorwoman
Both wins on testing turf surfaces; her AW record is mixed but she ran better than the bare result in a 1m3f classified here 17 days ago, when behind a major improver and Rubellite, and might yet do better on sand.

Rubellite
In good form since the autumn, winning a classified at Newcastle (1m4f) at the start of the month before catching a tartar here (1m3f) 17 days ago; looks good for another big run.

- Snapius
- Hector Crouch / James Owen

7/2 |
Snapius
Modest AW form for this yard in the autumn but he won over hurdles in December and the return to 1m4f should suit now down in grade; not ruled out.

- Velvet Vulcan
- Daniel Muscutt / M Murphy

17/2 |
Velvet Vulcan
Would have every chance on the pick of his form this time last year, including a 1m4f win at Lingfield, but he went off the boil last spring and has been at a low ebb since back from break in October.

- Zooks
- Rossa Ryan / Ian Williams

|
2/1 |
Zooks
No win as yet but she hasn't been too far away in any of her last five handicaps, including on this course (at 1m3f and 1m6f) and may well benefit from the drop in class and first-time cheekpieces.

- Lady Birdie
- Callum Hutchinson / A M Balding

|
40/1 |
Lady Birdie
In the frame four times but vulnerable in classified events so far and no real incentive to support her despite the addition of cheekpieces.
|
|
|
|
- Leon Trotsky
- Frederick Larson / J & S Birkett
|
|

|
33/1 |
Leon Trotsky
Best effort to date when a close third of 11 on step up to 1m6f at Chelmsford in December but he didn't run nearly so well over that C&D 22 days ago and has plenty to prove on Tapeta debut.
