- End Of Story
- Ray Dawson / D M Loughnane
|
|
97
|
66/1 |
End Of Story
Brings only negatives as he faces a difficult task off top weight in this warm race, ideally needs ground softer than is forecast and has a poor draw; second start for new stable.

- Force And Valour
- Callum Shepherd / George Scott

|
12/1 |
Force And Valour
Versatile sort who scored over 5f/6f on turf/AW last term and ran well over 7f at Meydan most recently; gelded since; however, the assessor is cutting him no slack at all.

- Cabelleroso
- Tom Marquand / H Palmer
|
|
67
|
13/2 |
Cabelleroso
Promising second to useful rival over C&D on debut; subsequent 7f form features an AW win; latest effort (in Listed grade) suggests this drop back in trip will suit; well drawn and looks interesting returned to Chester on handicap debut.

- Bob Mali
- W Buick / C Hills

|
6/5 |
Bob Mali
Withdrawn a few times due to good/good to firm going and has raced only on softer; solid effort at Newmarket on handicap/stable/seasonal debut, taking record over 6f to 1112; has won over C&D; strong contender from good draw, provided the ground is okay.

- Hammer The Hammer
- T Eaves / K A Ryan

4/1 |
Hammer The Hammer
Registered ready wins from the front in 5f maiden and 6f handicap at Southwell (AW) the last twice, latest by 6l; not ideally drawn back on turf but otherwise respected, being an improving colt who looks well treated under a 6lb penalty.

10/1 |
Diligently
Absent since opening his account in sales race (6f, good to firm) at the York Ebor festival; hit with a 9lb rise in his mark but could well build on that success and show further progress; has the plum draw and looks one for the shortlist.

- Cyclonite
- Hollie Doyle / J Ferguson
|

|
14/1 |
Cyclonite
Posted a good effort under Hollie Doyle at Newcastle on Good Friday, taking his form figures over 6f (all on AW) to 211333; solid contender from reasonable draw, assuming he's as effective back on turf.

- Belgrave
- Rossa Ryan / R M Beckett

|
9/1 |
Belgrave
Steady 2yo progress culminated in Leicester novice success (6f, heavy; has form on good); seemed to need Newmarket reappearance effort (behind Bob Mali) and may do better still; not written off.
|
|
|
|
- Marchogion
- Non Runner / A M Balding
|
|
92
|
18/1 |
Marchogion
Ran well at Chester in last turf attempt; subsequent AW form features a novice win and two fairly useful handicap efforts; however, poorly drawn returned to the Roodee.
|
|
|
|
- Megaphone
- Billy Loughnane / G Boughey
|
|
81
|
25/1 |
Megaphone
Campaigned on AW this year, winning maiden/novice events but failing to show progress in two handicaps; chance depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear.
|
|

- Naana's Sparkle
- K T O'Neill / Alice Haynes

|
25/1 |
Naana's Sparkle
Novice form last year featured an AW win; placed in 5f handicap at Thirsk on reappearance; possibly open to progress back up in distance but is unfavourably drawn.
|
|
|
|
- The Flying Seagull
- R Kingscote / H Palmer
|
|

|
28/1 |
The Flying Seagull
Campaigned on AW this year, going close at Lingfield (6f) on Good Friday most recently; gained his 2yo success over C&D but has the worst of the draw back here; headgear applied.
|

- Jr Climbs
- P J McDonald / P D Evans
|
|
98
|
50/1 |
Jr Climbs
Largely consistent last season but form dipped at Windsor on reappearance two days ago and he's more exposed than some of these rivals; difficult task upped in grade.
|
|
|
|
- Cressida Wildes
- Grace McEntee / P S McEntee
|
|
90
|
40/1 |
Cressida Wildes
Not disgraced at big odds in fillies' handicap at Newmarket (6f) five days ago but record of 1-11 reflects her rather exposed profile; opposed in this competitive field.
