Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 96

6/1

Stepped up on his reappearance when third of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) in January. Must enter the reckoning.

Gaeli^b1¹²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Jack Gilligan| T: M Botti| OR: 96

14/1

Useful dual winner for Stefano Botti in Italy but assessor appears to have taken no chances with his opening mark. Goes in refitted blinkers.

(10)

Pilgrim²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: T D Barron| OR: 93| D

18/1

Landed a handicap at Royal Ascot in 2024 but has proven more miss than hit since, for all that he probably needed the run back from a 9-month absence on his first all-weather start at Newcastle recently.

Form: 000/29-9

Azure Angel^b,t¹⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: E Bethell| OR: 93| CD

10/3

Quickly back on the up with first-time blinkers enlisted when scoring over C&D in September, staying on to lead close home having travelled well throughout the race. Capable fresh so a bold show a distinct possibility from a 4 lb higher mark.

Form: 213881-

Equality³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: C Hills| OR: 92| D

(11)

Baldomero⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Joanna Mason| T: M Appleby| OR: 92| C| D

11/1

Resumed winning ways in a change of headgear at Wolverhampton (5.1f) in December and defied a 4 lb rise to follow up at Lingfield when overcoming a stumble at the start. Had winning run ended from a 2 lb higher mark latest but shaped as if still in good form.

Form: 41911-4

Rhythm N Hooves^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 90| CD

11/1

Dual C&D who wasn't disgraced when fourth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 14/1) on most recent outing, despite being pestered on the front end. Not taken lightly having been eased a further 1 lb.

Form: 62235-4

(5)

Ziggy's Triton^p⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 90| BF| CD

8/1

Back-to-back C&D winner in December who found his run of good form coming to a halt in a first-time visor when fifth of 7 to Spring Is Sprung in handicap at this C&D in January. Cheekpieces refitted and bounce back required.

Form: 4411-25

(9)

Venture Capital²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 88| D

9/2

Has dipped below last successful mark and shaped as if better for the run after 4 months off when eighth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 26 days ago.

Form: 23033-8

(1)

Spring Is Sprung⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: P T Midgley| OR: 87| CD

9/2

Completed a hat-trick in 2025 and returned to a similar level when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D in January. Nudged up 4 lb but should go well again.

Form: 11008-1

(3)

Mon Na Slieve⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 82| D

7/1

Dual winner in 2025 who shaped as if better for the run after 3 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D in January. Entitled to step up on that run and has good claims on the pick of his form.

Form: 16053-6

Forecasts

Spring Is Sprung (4/1), Fivethousandtoone (5/1), Azure Angel (5/1), Baldomero (8/1), Venture Capital (10/1), Ziggy's Triton (10/1), Mon Na Slieve (10/1), Rhythm N Hooves (10/1), Equality (12/1), Gaeli (12/1), Pilgrim (14/1)

MON NA SLIEVE isn't the most consistent but is back down to a favourable mark on the pick of his form and seems well placed to go well, especially with a recent run under his belt. Rhythm N Hooves wasn't disgraced at Newcastle on his most recent outing considering he was allowed little peace up front, while Azure Angel and Fivethousandtoone are others to consider.
