Fallen long way in the weights and back on track this year, confirming promise of recent placed efforts when ending losing run at Lingfield (5f) 10 days ago. Well on top finish then and expected to be very competitive again with rider's claim off-setting her 5 lb rise.
|
5-time C&D winner who comfortably added to his tally over 6f here in January. Performed with credit next 2 starts and type to shrug off a rare below-par display back at the longer trip here 2 weeks ago.
|
C&D winner who had excuses on 2 previous starts and having eased further in weights, returned to form when runner-up over C&D 2 weeks ago. Winner that day has boosted the form since and he's a likely player once more.
|
Modest form in varied events for Richard Hughes in 2024 but showed benefit of belated reappearance for new stable when finishing second at Southwell (5f) 24 days ago. Lowly mark to work with if he can build on that now.
|
Long-standing maiden who went close to bucking that trend when third at Newcastle 2 starts back. Not beaten far when sixth at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on Monday but suspect he'll find a few too good again.
|
Successful over 5f at Southwell last spring and made frame 3 times thereafter on turf. Excuses (blindfold removed late) when well held at Yarmouth on final start in October and fact he's gone well after a break previously bodes well ahead of this. Market confidence would look significant.
|
Modest maiden who finished down the field all 4 starts in 2025 for Adrian Wintle. Returns from 11 months off for new yard and he's another best guided by the market.
|
On a lengthy losing run and proved too free after 5 months off when fifth of 7 in classified company at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 3 weeks ago. Others preferred.

Forecasts
Buraback (7/4), Desdemona (11/4), Sir Rodneyredblood (5/1), Hi Hoh Tonto (9/1), Top Star (11/1), Battle Point (12/1), Master Zack (14/1), Daley T (22/1)
DESDEMONA confirmed recent promise when running out a good winner at Lingfield 10 days ago and she looks a big player again with her rider's claim off-setting her 5 lb rise. Buraback rates the chief threat following his C&D second, whilst market confidence behind the returning Master Zack would also look significant.
