14/1 |
Bibendum
16-race maiden; not at his best this winter but he returns to turf off a reduced mark and he can't be ruled out; one of two runners for the stable.

- Joanna Mason / P D Niven

Monsieur Fantaisie
Came from off the strong pace to win a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in fine style 12 days ago; 4lb rise manageable if in the same form but he's 0-16 on turf and stall 1 probably isn't ideal.

8/1 |
Masterclass
Ran his best race for Paul Midgley at this track (7f, good to firm) last summer; quiet on AW this winter but he's tumbling down the weights and he has had wind surgery since last seen; has a lot of raw ability for one running at this level; interesting.

Canaria Queen
7lb lower than for her Wetherby success last April (5.5f, soft; first run for 110 days); ended 2024 with a few good efforts but she would be of greater interest on slower ground.

11/2 |
Emerald Army
His form was on the up when last seen, improving for blinkers and/or a step up to 7f last autumn; capable of better this year but he drops back in trip and with the headgear left off for this first run for 147 days.

Lady Of The Garr
Stays 6f but her best form, and sole success, came over 5f; returns from a ten-week break but on a feasible mark and she's more appealing than many.

- Carmarthen
- P Mulrennan / Miss L A Perratt

Carmarthen
Big prices and well beaten in two runs this spring; Paul Mulrennan takes over today but this filly has a bit to prove.

|
12/1 |
Calafrio
Easy win over C&D last summer (0-50 classified); twice a runner-up on AW in the autumn and this mark should be within range; ran quite well on last season's return; one to take seriously if stall 2 proves no hindrance.

- A Mullen / B Haslam

|
10/1 |
Tickets
Unplaced in five turf starts; capable sprinter on AW and he's been in good form this year; 10lb lower mark to exploit returned to grass but has too much to prove in this sphere.

- D C Costello / M Walford

Exceed Now
Promise for Roger Varian but he hasn't made any impact in handicaps for his current stable; dropped 18lb as a consequence and now tries cheekpieces; others look safer.

- Tough At The Top
- D Allan / T D Easterby

Tough At The Top
Unexposed 4yo who displayed clear promise in his three qualifying runs (5f); no improvement for the switch to handicaps at Southwell last week, looking a hard ride in the closing stages; the addition of blinkers looks a good move and he remains capable of better.

She'sashambles
Her only win from 22 starts came in a classified event over C&D last August; placed in two of her four runs on AW this year; one to consider.

Arlington
0-7 on turf but he was second over C&D last summer; comes here fit from the AW and he's been running well at a modest level; place claims.

- Sir Benedict
- Jason Hart / Mrs Stella Barclay

Sir Benedict
Three wins last year, all over 5f; the odd good run on AW over the winter and he's handicapped to go well; would be more appealing at shorter.

- Azucena
- J Fanning / Mrs A Duffield

Azucena
Both wins over 5f at Newcastle, the latest off an 8lb higher mark last October; she has much more to prove on turf, though, even allowing for the lower mark in this sphere.

- Chester Le Streak
- Jack Nicholls / S Spencer

Chester Le Streak
Big player on his 2023 form, including C&D, but he hasn't fired in two runs for his new stable after a 543-day absence; return to turf needs to give him a lift.

|
7/1 |
Shark Two One
Looked a bit rusty when finishing in midfield in a 7f classified event at Newcastle three weeks ago; could build on that and he is drawn nearest the stands' rail should that prove advantageous; best turf form on slower than good so drying conditions aren't ideal.

Athollblair Boy
Placed in minor AW events the last twice but boasts just one turf win since June 2019; could prove vulnerable once more.

Posh Maisie
Exposed maiden; offered a bit more returned to turf at Catterick on Wednesday (5f, good) but she reportedly bled from the nose; not sure to build on that effort and opposable once more.

- Dylan Hogan / D Thompson

John Kirkup
Veteran who has been an infrequent winner in recent seasons; not at his best on AW this year and opposable back on turf.
