Beale Street³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Smart| OR: 75| CD

16/1

Three-time C&D winner. Never involved on last month's C&D reappearance but he ought to be sharper with that outing behind him.

Form: 03390-7

(6)

True Promise⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Fionn McSharry| OR: 75| BF| CD

(11)

Dandy Magic⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 74| CD

11/2

C&D winner in November. Went close over C&D last month and ran on well to snatch third late on over 5f here since. Player back at 6f.

Form: 138-523

(2)

Blue Lakota¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 74| CD

8/1

C&D winner last month and shaped as if still in form when sixth of 11 at Southwell (6f) 13 days ago.

Form: 617-216

(8)

Grant Wood¹⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 74| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Out of sorts when last seen in the autumn but the fact he started 2025 with a pair of good runner-up efforts on AW provides hope that he could bounce back after a break.

Form: 080790-

The Green Man^v,t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 73| CD

7/1

Has thrived since joining Phil Kirby, notching 3 course wins, including twice at this trip. Two good placed efforts over 1m here in January and, although never a threat, not disgraced over 7f here latest. Billy Loughnane rides.

Form: 541-327

(7)

Alpine Girl^h¹⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 73| D

50/1

Won a pair of sprint handicaps on turf for Julie Camacho last summer. Just as effective on AW but peak fitness has to be taken on trust after 6 months off.

Form: 46/5131-

Maxi Boy³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: O McSweeney| T: Fionn McSharry| OR: 73| C| D

(12)

Fan Mail¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in October. 11/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6f) on reappearance 13 days ago. That was his first outing for 4 months so he may come on for it.

Form: 00516-4

(5)

Novak⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 68| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 19 runs last year. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (5/1) at this course (7f) 9 days ago. Needs considering.

Form: 66-6742

(9)

Showtime Mahomes¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 65| D

28/1

Latest win at Southwell in January. 14/1, respectable fourth of 9 over C&D 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Ought to be competitive.

Form: 994-164

(3)

Kitaab¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: P A Kirby| OR: 64| CD

25/1

C&D winner. Step back in the right direction when fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 17 days ago, inadequate test. Back up in trip. One of 2 likely contenders for his stable.

Form: 2/27-984

Forecasts

True Promise (3/1), Grant Wood (4/1), Dandy Magic (11/2), The Green Man (7/1), Blue Lakota (8/1), Fan Mail (8/1), Novak (10/1), Beale Street (16/1), Kitaab (25/1), Maxi Boy (28/1), Showtime Mahomes (28/1), Alpine Girl (50/1)

KITAAB caught the eye a bit when fourth over 5f at Southwell earlier in the month and is given a chance to build on that promise with the return to 6f looking ideal. Dandy Magic is another who may benefit from the return to 6f and is second choice ahead of Novak and the selection's stablemate The Green Man.
