6/1

Last 2 wins have come over this C&D and, though he didn't show much for his new yard during the winter, it's not hard to envisage him bouncing back now returned to this course off an appealing mark.

Form: 24668-7

11/8

Still a maiden (0-19) but has hit the crossbar several times, including when going close at Leicester (1¼im, good to soft) in October (final run for William Knight). Didn't stay 16.5f at Southwell on sole start for Micky Hammond and better expected back down in trip on debut for another new yard.

9/1

Enjoyed profitable 2025, winning 5 times on turf before going over the top towards the end of the season. Hasn't fired in a couple of appearances this time round but will be a danger to all if she puts her best foot forward.

13/2

Won twice here last summer and placed on 2 occasions later in the year. Didn't shape at all badly on recent return at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) and worth a second look back up in trip here.

9/2

Won twice last summer/autumn and returned in good heart (despite looking rusty) when third of 10 at Newcastle. Again performed with credit at Doncaster (1¼m, good to soft) where he finished fifth in a 14-runner contest, and should be in the mix back down in trip here.

Form: 5226-35

Mini Mac^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 55| D

10/1

Successful for Christine Dunnett off a higher mark at Nottingham last spring but it's been downhill most of the way since, including all 3 starts for new yard this year.

Form: 480-060

22/1

Not the easiest of rides and while she managed to get her head in front at Ffos Las in September, there haven't been any positives to take from her 2 efforts on the all-weather so far this year.

Form: 5135-79

Bizarre Law^p⁵

16/1

Returned to form from out of the blue when third of 10 at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) recently. Wouldn't be without each-way hope if able to build on that here.

Forecasts

Glitter Code (11/8), Hashtagnotions (9/2), Coolree (6/1), Sunny Orange (13/2), Hostelry (9/1), Mini Mac (10/1), Bizarre Law (16/1), Dinah Myte (22/1), Bantz (25/1)

COOLREE hasn't made much of an impact in 2 starts for his new yard but he wasn't knocked about last time and now 2 lb below his last winning mark, this 7-y-o is a tempting proposition in a race of this nature. Hostelry and Glitter Code should have parts to play, along with Hashtagnotions.
