9/4 |
Durham Castle
220,000gns yearling; made it third time lucky when landing a Southwell maiden (6f, AW) last August and he forged clear on handicap debut at Goodwood (6f, good) two weeks later; resumes off 9lb higher but he still looks feasibly treated and is open to more progress; big player.

18/1 |
Sommelier
Looked hugely promising early in his career and while the wheels haven't quite come off, the excuses are slowly running out; continues to drop down the weights and this step back up in trip could help but others are more convincing; tongue-tie added.

12/1 |
Mehmar
Reappeared from near two-year absence to win a Navan maiden (6f, good to firm) and Naas handicap (6f, good) last summer; looks well handicapped on that last success but he ended last season with two disappointing runs; changed hands for 16,000gns since; still has low mileage but he's not been easy to predict and comes with risks attached on return; headgear removed.

15/2 |
Knebworth
His four turf wins have come on slower than good, with the latest at Newbury (6f, heavy) last October; three encouraging runs this season include a front-running third with blinkers added at Goodwood (6f, good) last time; should be in the mix again.

- R Havlin / Tom Clover

Al Barez
Effective on fast and slow ground and he's won five times, with two on turf and three on AW; well handicapped on his two wins last spring and he returned to form with a close second at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last month; has claims if he can back that up and yard is in decent form.

- Change Sings
- Charles Bishop / Eve Johnson Houghton

2/1 |
Change Sings
Record of 5-12 in handicaps and he went close off this mark at Newbury (6f, good) on his penultimate run; didn't quite hit the same level at York last time but that was still a solid effort in a Class 2 and he's respected on this drop back in grade.

- P J Dobbs / R Hannon

9/4 |
Circe
First two wins were over 7f and 1m but she coped well with the drop back to 6f when scoring at Newmarket (good) last month; that was a narrow success but she's only 2lb higher and is still unexposed as a sprinter; shortlisted.

- Lewis Edmunds / B R Millman

|
11/1 |
Amazonian Dream
Six turf wins include this race last year; completed an AW double off 2lb higher in December but he's not been at the top of his game since and was only eighth of ten over C&D last time; mixed messages and others are more persuasive.

- Sergeant Pep
- Finley Marsh / C G Cox

20/1 |
Sergeant Pep
Won at Haydock (6f, good) and Leicester (5f, heavy) last year and ended the season with fair third at Newbury; still looks feasibly treated and needs watching in the market back from 213 days off.

13/2 |
Haymaker
His last win was off 1lb higher at Goodwood (6f, good) last June; 0-9 since but he returned from wind surgery with a creditable effort at Nottingham (close fifth) 16 days ago and has possibilities if he can build on that; tongue-tie reapplied.

- Coup De Force

5/1 |
Coup De Force
Her last five wins have been on AW but she returned to turf with an eyecatching third over C&D two weeks ago; 1lb lower here and has claims if this sets up for her closing style.

|
50/1 |
Indian Creak
Solid sprint handicapper for the Channons over the years but only occasional flashes of his old self in 2024; has dropped down the weights but he reappeared for new yard with tailed-off effort at Ascot 16 days ago and can only be watched after that.

- Alcazan
- Joe Leavy / R A Teal

|
22/1 |
Alcazan
Versatile sort with 11 wins on CV; on dangerous mark and was placed at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month but she's not easy to predict and finished out the back at Goodwood last time; back up in trip; needs to bounce back.
