|
5/1 |
Lednikov
Often front-runner and ridden since October by Elle-May Croot; has gained his last five wins here, the latest ten days ago by 7l when dominant throughout; obvious chance under a 4lb penalty.

11/1 |
Nivelle's Magic
Won three times in 2023 and mostly consistent in a light campaign last year; however, made yard debut three weeks ago on her return from 308 days away and was only fifth of seven at Lingfield (1m2f); stays this far.

Mr Zippi
Dual bumper winner; close fourth over C&D in December but four lesser runs have followed, the latest in first-time cheekpieces.

10/3 |
Letmebetheboss
Perhaps did too much too early when below par last time but had been running well after a wind operation and followed his clearcut Bath win (1m5f) with a close second over 1m6f here; absent since November but could easily go well.

- R Havlin / T Faulkner

|
7/1 |
Desiderata
Wolverhampton classified winner over 9.4f in January and was third of ten in a handicap there three weeks ago; starts have been an issue, though, and he was withdrawn last week after getting loose at the start; could feature should the new hood focus his mind.

This Time Maybe
Finally off the mark over 1m4f at Wolverhampton and ran well back there under a penalty; up another 2lb here but unlikely to be far away; races prominently.

- Ring Fenced
- Aiden Brookes / Micky Hammond

16/1 |
Ring Fenced
Back from a break and in first-time blinkers when a never-dangerous third behind Lednikov over 1m3f here on Easter Sunday; unlikely to gain her revenge on the winner.

- Pittsburg
- Oliver Stammers / R Potter

|
20/1 |
Pittsburg
Form figures of 112 in his last three runs over fences so returns to the Flat in good heart; could still be vulnerable with a Flat strike-rate of 1-23 (Kempton winner early last year).

- Forest Haze
- Marco Ghiani / P W Chapple-Hyam

|
11/1 |
Forest Haze
0-8 but it was her first run for Peter Chapple-Hyam when beaten under 3l at Chelmsford a month ago after a troubled run (1m2f); could build on that.

- Chantilly Moon
- P Mulrennan / P D Niven

Chantilly Moon
Maiden under both codes and recent efforts (at 1m4f) were pretty underwhelming; others safer.

150/1 |
Indian Romance
Twice placed on Polytrack for Rae Guest but had struggled badly on the Flat for this yard before a forgettable hurdling debut 17 days ago.

12/1 |
Velvet Vulcan
Won a 1m4f classified race on Polytrack 14 months ago but only sixth of nine at that level here in January before finishing tailed off on his hurdling debut (after wind surgery); wouldn't be the obvious place to turn.

|
- Disquietude
- Aidan Keeley / J Butler

|

|
28/1 |
Disquietude
0-14 but placed a few times and wasn't beaten too far in 1m4f races at Wolverhampton before a lesser run there last time after getting bumped at the start; could have a part to play.
|

- Break Point
- Joanna Mason / D Shaw

|

|
66/1 |
Break Point
No recent promise over hurdles and he's a regressive maiden on the Flat.
