Mister Daydream
Built upon encouraging seasonal debut when making all in six-runner race at Beverley (1m2f, good) last month; nudged up only 2lb for that but this race may not pan out so favourably for him.

6/1 |
Spanish Hustle
Won three times over C&D in 2023 and once over 1m4f here last year; on fairly tough mark at present but is versatile regarding ground and ought to find this race easier than the valuable Class 4 event he contested on his recent seasonal debut.

Masekela
Nothing like to force of old but unlucky not to finish closer than sixth in 0-85 event at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) 12 days ago, denied a clear run, and can go very well off a 2lb lower mark in this grade; cheekpieces (worn twice in 2023 without success) are given another whirl; major shout.

Naturalia
Opened her account at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) last spring; still unexposed over this sort of trip but absent since a poor run here (1m1f) in September and will need to return in prime form to overcome current mark.

V Twelve
Placed on both Flat starts after winning from the front over C&D (good) last summer and has largely been in good form over hurdles since; holds no secrets from the handicapper but probably won't be far away.

20/1 |
Jaminoz
Dual C&D winner, more recently on heavy ground last summer; makes seasonal debut from a workable mark but ran poorly on latest outing in September and would appeal much more on slower ground.

15/2 |
Ana Emaraaty
In excellent form on Tapeta in recent weeks, winning three in a row (1m2f-1m4f) from off the pace; not sure to transfer that improvement back to turf but his running style could make it difficult for the handicapper to get his measure.

14/1 |
The Navigator
Veteran with four Flat wins and eight hurdle wins on his CV; not one to rely upon heavily nowadays but returned to form with pretty good third over hurdles last month and reverts to the Flat on a workable mark.

- Bristol Hill
- Cam Hardie / Miss L A Perratt

50/1 |
Bristol Hill
Signed off for Kevin Frost with narrow course win (1m5f, good) last summer but his three subsequent runs for Linda Perratt were disappointing and he returns from a 224-day break with quite a bit to prove.
