- Paris Lights
- D Nolan / P T Midgley
|
|
|
7/2 |
Paris Lights
Can miss the break and is not easy to predict but he won over C&D in December and was a close second behind Volenti here last time; only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's a big player if he can back that up.

|
- Hartswood
- O J Orr / R A Fahey
|
|
|
5/2 |
Hartswood
Recorded his seventh win when scoring over C&D last month and he ran to a similar level when runner-up in a Class 5 at Southwell (1m) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated and he should be in the thick of things again.

- Eden Storm
- Paddy Bradley / P Morris
|
|
|
6/1 |
Eden Storm
Both wins were gained over 7f at Wolverhampton in 2023; made slow start for this yard in October but he's well treated and the signs were better in January when coming from off the pace to take a late fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f); that was only his second run at around 1m and he's in the mix.

- Cusack
- Jonny Peate / D Thompson

|
|
17/2 |
Cusack
Course specialist who has won seven times at this track and latest was off 1lb lower over C&D last month; held in three runs since but he gave it a good shot when runner over 1m2f last time and he's respected back in trip.

|
- L'Ennemi
- Ryan Sexton / Miss J A Camacho
|
|
|
7/1 |
L'Ennemi
Nine-race maiden but he turned things around off a reduced mark when runner-up behind Hartswood over C&D (cheekpieces added) last month; has a 3lb swing in the weights with his old rival and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid.
|
|
|
- Volenti
- A Mullen / B Haslam
|
|
|
4/1 |
Volenti
Four wins over C&D since October, including when beating Paris Lights on his penultimate run; didn't really fire here last time but that was over 1m2f and he still looks on a workable mark; dangerous back in trip.

- Thats My Boy Luke
- Sean Kirrane / T D Easterby
|
|
|
33/1 |
Thats My Boy Luke
Eight-race maiden who returned to a handicap with a well-held ninth of 12 here (1m2f) two weeks ago; headgear is now added and he has something to prove back in trip in this competitive race.
