|
25/1 |
Safanah
Lightly raced 4yo who was placed in novice and maiden races on turf/AW last autumn; however, she's finished down the field in her three handicaps (7f/6f, AW) and needs to raise her game.

- Amayretto
- D Allan / T D Easterby

2/1 |
Amayretto
Signed off last season with a near-miss at Musselburgh (7f, good to soft) and reappeared with a win at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); her other win came here (in 2023) and she's a strong contender.

- B Associates
- Aiden Brookes / Micky Hammond

|
18/1 |
B Associates
Disappointing end to last season but he's dropped to a dangerous mark and didn't enjoy a clear run when a fair sixth of eight on last month's reappearance at Wetherby; not ruled out.

- Lumenbourg
- Ryan Sexton / Miss J A Camacho
|
|
71
|
5/2 |
Lumenbourg
Has an in-and-out profile but he won at Southwell (7f, AW) in February and returned to form when second at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) last month; went close over C&D last season and is capable of having a big say.

- Once Adaay
- L Morris / Mrs I G-Leveque

11/1 |
Once Adaay
Close third at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in January and now 5lb lower but three lesser runs have followed, including back on turf last time.

- Sunny Orange
- D Fentiman / T D Easterby

|
7/1 |
Sunny Orange
Has a modest strike-rate and was down the field on reappearance at Catterick a fortnight ago, but he may have needed that run and he won off this mark at Beverley last June; not written off.

- Kalganov
- Connor Beasley / M Dods

5/1 |
Kalganov
It's a while since he won but he went close at Ayr (7f, good to firm) on May 1 and again ran well when fourth of 13 at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last time; versatile ground-wise; now has another career-low mark; chance.

- Wiggins B
- P Mulrennan / T D Barron

67
|
33/1 |
Wiggins B
Lightly raced 4yo who has potential in his pedigree; yet to threaten, including on last month's handicap debut here, but was sent off at just 5-1; wears first-time blinkers and interesting to see if his backers return.

- Going Underground
- Paula Muir / W Storey
|
|
73
|
28/1 |
Going Underground
Below par at Beverley last time over an 8.4f trip that should have been fine, and he's won just two of his 41 starts; however, two runs ago he was an unlucky fifth at Wetherby (7f) and is not ruled out each-way.

- Bobby Joe Leg
- J P Sullivan / Mrs R Carr

15/2 |
Bobby Joe Leg
11yo who won two in a row at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March and has a much lower turf mark to work with; however, his form has gone off the boil on his last four starts, including on grass two starts ago.

- Spartan Fighter
- Cam Hardie / A Brittain

40/1 |
Spartan Fighter
Some reasonable AW runs this spring and has a lower mark now back on turf; however, he struggled on his two encounters with grass last season and others are more compelling.
