7/2 |
Eldrickjones
Hinted at a revival when fourth of 11 to Midnight Lion over C&D 17 days ago; this three-time C&D scorer is a likely player off a 1lb lower mark.

5/1 |
Midnight Lion
Course specialist who notched his seventh success here 17 days ago; he's not taken lightly despite a 3lb weights rise.

Qazaq
Largely below par for Roger Varian this season and he came in only seventh of 11 to Midnight Lion over C&D for his new yard 17 days ago; needs to take a big step forward.

Havana Blue
Winless in 2025 but he got back on track after a wind operation when fifth of 11 to Midnight Lion over C&D 17 days ago; one for the shortlist.

10/1 |
Al Muqdad
Ended a losing run in good style at Wolverhampton (7f) in November and drawn wide (also change of headgear) when eighth there 11 days ago; this C&D winner still needs considering.

Mr Mistoffelees
Blinkered and right back to his best of late, scoring over 1m here before runner-up in 1m Southwell handicap two weeks ago when going sweetly for a long way; up 4lb but he merits serious consideration back to 7f.

Tolstoy
On a losing sequence and only 12th in 7f Doncaster handicap 27 days ago; this course winner has a bit to prove now.

Monotone
Ended his time with Jim Bolger out of sorts and he failed to beat a rival on his yard debut in 7f York handicap in July; subsequent breathing surgery needs to spark a resurgence.

- Benacre
- Billy Loughnane / C Johnston

8/1 |
Benacre
C&D scorer who was in good form until beating just one over C&D 17 days ago; he's the type to get back on track quickly though.

- Oliver Carmichael / B Smart

Blazing Son
Scored over C&D in September and run best ignored (poorly drawn) when 18th in 7f Doncaster handicap last month; possibilities.

Judicature
Low-mileage sort who got off the mark over 6f here in August; best effort in three handicaps since when fifth here (6f) 13 days ago so he's no forlorn hope off a slipping mark.
