9/2 |
Crafter
Dual C&D winner whose latest success came at Lingfield in November, among some strong 1m2f efforts at around that time; the race didn't go his way back there latest but remains in form; a strong pace would help.

Meet Me In Meraki
Two turf wins in 2024; had no striking AW record previously (never involved behind Crafter at Lingfield in November) but he benefited from front-running tactics over C&D 14 days ago and a 4lb rise shouldn't be beyond him; can give it a good shot.

Prince Ali
Versatile trip-wise and three most recent wins on this track, stepping up to the plate with a convincing 1m4f win 14 days ago, making it 2-3 for Zoe Lewis; back up 2lb and this mark is well within reach; good claims.

Sense Of Worth
On a losing run and he hadn't been raising many hopes in his first three runs after a layoff but his latest fourth of eight here (extended 1m) was better and the return to this trip will suit; in contention.

15/2 |
Cloud Free
Ended time with previous yard over 1m, winning at Chelmsford in October; not yet proved he wants this far but adding a tongue-tie could help after running a fair third over 1m2f at Lingfield last month.

11/1 |
Egoiste
Has C&D form but his two course wins last March came at about 1m and his form tailed off in early summer; would have needed his recent return to action but still 4lb higher than the latest win.

- Chourmo
- J F Egan / Mark Gillard

28/1 |
Chourmo
Had an excellent turf season in 2024, winning four at 1m2f and 1m1f; however, he was pulled up on hurdle debut since and his AW handicap form, including over 1m at Kempton recently, falls short of what will be needed here.

13/2 |
Tasmanian Legend
Three wins at about 1m in early 2024, at Newcastle and on this track, but struggled a bit with some trip switches until running much better behind Meet Me In Meraki over C&D a fortnight ago; runs off the same mark, 11lb lower than his latest winning one, so good weights chance.

17/2 |
Green Power
Nine-time winner who was back to form with a C&D success last month; has won two in a row twice in the past and remains well treated off 8lb lower than his February win last year; has to be considered.

Book Of Life
Sole win as a 2yo in France; has dropped a long way in the weights since last spring but a better spell before Christmas didn't last and he now races beyond an extended 1m for the first time.

40/1 |
Simply Red
Four hurdle wins, the latest in August 2023; minor form for new yard, over hurdles and in final qualifying run, and little to suggest she's well treated now handicapping but still hard to rule out improvement.
