5/1 |
Cosmos Raj
Took his record on turf to 7-34 when successful at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) nine days ago; 4lb penalty puts him on the same mark as when winning on the AW early last year; should go well despite his wide draw.

16/1 |
Speeding Bullet
Hasn't lived up to his name since making a successful nursery debut for Richard Hannon at Newmarket (7f, soft) in October 2023; well held on last month's stable debut after six months off and is still to convince over this far.

9/2 |
Bobacious
Front-runner who has proved most consistent since last summer, which included wins at Brighton and Windsor (1m2f, good to firm); may face competition for the lead, though, and something to prove back in trip.

Evelyn's Phoenix
Handy sort who won three times over 7f-1m2f last year, but has fitness to prove after eight months off; Alfie Boy looks the stable's main hope.

5/1 |
Park Street
Won twice here in 2023, the latest over this trip from 3lb higher; hung badly right on his Thirsk return ten days ago but no surprise if he fares better back at this track.

- D Allan / T D Easterby

2/1 |
Alfie Boy
Bids for hat-trick after recent wins over C&D (good) and at Ayr (1m, good to firm); back up 3lb; made all for both victories and may face competition for the lead here but still hard to dismiss in his current mood.

- Casilli
- Billy Garritty / M & D Easterby

15/2 |
Casilli
Five of her six wins have come here including three over this trip; losing run is up to 14 but she has dropped to a dangerous mark and could benefit if there is a contested lead up front.

- C Horgan / Roger Fell

Northbound
Two wins at around 1m on the AW this year; just 1-21 on turf but only beaten a short head back on grass at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago; 2lb higher on stable debut (same owner); each-way claims.

Tees George
Won easily in first-time cheekpieces over C&D (good) last September but went up 8lb as a result and has been well held in both outings since, albeit he may have needed his Thirsk return three weeks ago; others preferred.

- Coolree
- L Morris / Lemos Souza

Coolree
Has a wide draw but that was also the case when he won this race for Amy Murphy last year (good); 4lb lower this time around and wasn't beaten far into fourth of eight at Thirsk (1m, good) three weeks ago; interesting.

Dr Rio
Last four wins have come at this track and is back off the same mark as when successful here (1m2f, good) last September; may need a stiffer test than this now, though.

Makalu
Four wins last year included one over C&D; made a winning return at Southwell (1m, AW) in March but well beaten back on turf twice since; not quite sure what to expect.

40/1 |
Dandy's Angel
Five-time winner over 1m2f here and completed a hat-trick over 1m2f-1m4f elsewhere last autumn; last three performances leave plenty to be desired, though, and she needs further than this in any case; drawn widest.
