22/1 |
Annexation
The winner of six races (four on the Flat of which two were on AW) when trained by Henry de Bromhead; not at his best when last seen but his best 2024 efforts bring him into the reckoning; sold for 3,000 in October; market revealing on stable debut.

16/1 |
Foreseen
Heavy-ground winner in France (1m); ran well at Newmarket in November when blinkers were added for the first time, making the running but picked off late over 1m1f; recent hurdle run easy to overlook and he's not ruled out back on the Flat.

- Con Te Partiro
- Mr F Maguire / R Spencer

15/2 |
Con Te Partiro
The winner of five of his 13 starts, two of the wins coming over C&D; not at his best at Wolverhampton six weeks ago but this is a lesser race and the jockey booking catches the eye; tricky draw but needs serious consideration.

11/4 |
Obsidian Knight
Four course wins, the latest when putting his head in front on the finishing line over C&D in November; overcame a wide passage in the straight on that occasion and this mark likely still in range; only midfield in a Class 4 here seven weeks ago but he's better drawn today and should make another bold bid.

- Hello Miss Lady
- Mr Fletcher Yarham / Dylan Cunha

13/2 |
Hello Miss Lady
Well beaten in her first two handicaps but there was more encouragement to be gleaned from her latest effort at Wolverhampton, leading into the home straight but tiring late on; good amateur on board and she still has relatively low mileage.

- Ellexis
- Miss Megan Jordan / R A Teal

12/1 |
Ellexis
Two wins on AW to her name and she returned to form when second at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (9.5f; blinkered first time); widest stall tempers enthusiasm.

- Eton Blue
- Mr S Walker / George Baker

|
12/1 |
Eton Blue
2024 was a struggle but he's dropped a long way in the weights as a result and his penultimate effort wasn't too bad a run; the booking of Simon Walker offers hope that a revival may be imminent.

- Meadram
- Miss Alice Tregoning / M P Tregoning

|
7/2 |
Meadram
Back to winning ways when leading late in a Class 6 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford last September (for Alice Tregoning); picked off late back at that track six weeks ago; still has handicapping scope and he's likely to make another bold bid.

- Blue Yonder
- Miss Brodie Hampson / A Watson

|
10/3 |
Blue Yonder
Won this race 12 months ago when trained by Richard Fahey; much of the rest of 2024 was a write off but he did win a 1m2f handicap at Newbury for Brodie Hampson last June; that was off 12lb higher and while a leap of faith is required to support him, the return to this trip will suit.

Persian Phoenix
Just one win from 22 starts for Charlie Johnston; beaten a neck behind Con Te Partiro over C&D last July and she's 12lb better off with that rival today; sold for 11,000gns in October; stable also runs Blue Yonder.

Mr Jetman
Ran okay on his stable debut at Newcastle last month but he took a backward step at Southwell last time; others look stronger.

Rolypolymoly
Chased home Blue Yonder in this race last year (blinkered first time); absent since finishing third in a 2m handicap here 355 days ago; perhaps best watched.
