Silky Wilkie⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 82| D

10/3

Took advantage of a much-reduced mark when ending long losing run at Newcastle in January. Continued in good form when fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (3/1) 9 days ago and he's capable of another bold bid.

Form: 309-314

(5)

Papa Cocktail¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: O McSweeney| T: M Herrington| OR: 80| CD

4/1

Winner at this C&D in October and justified support when scoring readily in handicap back here (5/2) 17 days ago. Back up in grade but has plenty of form in stronger contests so he enters calculations.

Form: 3525-41

Hierarchy^b,t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: C J Whiteley⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 79| CD

7/1

Three-time winner in 2025 and bounced back to form when opening account for the year in 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (18/1) 9 days ago, overcoming positional disadvantage to lead late on. Major player.

Form: 421-891

(6)

The Flying Seagull^v²³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 78| D

6/1

Without a win in handicaps last year but placed on 3 occasions. Run best excused when fifth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (7/2) on final outing in June, racing closer to pace than ideal, though has absence to overcome.

Form: 725035-

Moonstone Boy³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Joey Haynes| T: J Candlish| OR: 76

8/1

Fair handicapper who, after 3 months off, ran respectably on first start since leaving Iain Jardine when fourth of 6 at Southwell (5f, 6/1) 30 days ago. Entitled to strip fitter for that outing, though he's yet to prove himself at 6f.

Form: 09050-4

(7)

Ararat^p²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Vigors⁽⁷⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 76| D

9/1

Won back-to-back 6f handicaps at Southwell in the autumn but has gone the wrong way in 3 starts since, finishing last of 10 at the same C&D (7/1) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 81169-0

(2)

Lequinto⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 73| C| D

12/1

Four-time winner last year and returned to form when runner-up at Lingfield (5f) in January. Possibly unsuited by step back up to 7f when sixth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (14/1) 4 days ago, so he could bounce back.

Form: 610-526

(4)

Water Of Leith¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-5| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 62| CD

5/1

Runner-up twice at this C&D in January and made the frame for fifth consecutive start when fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (11/2) 10 days ago. Can remain competitive from current mark.

Form: 64-2244

Forecasts

Silky Wilkie (10/3), Papa Cocktail (4/1), Water Of Leith (5/1), The Flying Seagull (6/1), Hierarchy (7/1), Moonstone Boy (8/1), Ararat (9/1), Lequinto (12/1)

HIERARCHY bounced right back to form when winning at Lingfield 9 days ago, value for extra as he overcame a slow start, and he's now won 4 of his last 11 outings. He is taken to see to see off the challenge of Water of Leith, who has been proving consistent of late, while Papa Cocktail scored in decisive fashion at this C&D last time.
