The Cookstown Cafu
C&D winner who is on a dangerous mark but his last success was 14 months ago and he's generally struggled in five runs for his current yard; others preferred.

Falcon Nine
Had a good spell in blinkers between June and October, with form figures of 4321133; still looks feasibly treated on the pick of that form but he flopped here (1m2f) last month and needs to bounce back after that laboured effort.

Mercurius Power
First three wins were on turf but last three have been on Tapeta; last success was off this mark and he finished placed over C&D in his final two runs in the autumn; returns after a short break and he should be in the thick of things again.

Tasever
All four wins have been at Newcastle and he's been in good form over C&D in his last three starts; ran into a well-handicapped rival when runner-up here last Saturday and he's respected off unchanged mark.

Volenti
Four of five wins have come over C&D including in this race last year; last success was off today's mark in January but he's been well held here in last two starts and needs to rediscover his spark.

Powerful Response
His last win was in April 2024 but he's finished runner-up over C&D in last two starts including a near miss in a Class 5 event last time; only 1lb higher here and he's big player if he can repeat that form.

Minshaar
Made the breakthrough when scoring over 7f here last month but was a well-held third in her follow-up bid at Wolverhampton; needs to step up again after that but this 3yo still has potential and she looks worth a try at this new trip.

Shifter
Won twice over 1m2f on turf last May but she has a mixed record since and was tailed off on her reappearance over C&D last month; down the list.

Pop Favorite
Seven of his eight wins have come over C&D and he's rarely seen anywhere else these days; beaten just over a length into second here in October and has possibilities if he can back that up after a short break.
