Bin Ajwad
Well-related 4yo who made it 3-3 in handicaps when justifying favouritism to complete a C&D hat-trick in November; up another 5lb but he's on a roll and is open to more improvement; big player.

Helmsley
Easy win in Redcar novice (1m2f) for Ralph Beckett in October; changed hands for 45,000gns two days later; that win resulted in a 12lb hike and she was well held on handicap/stable debut at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last month; still lightly raced but needs to resume her progress back in trip.

Bravo Zulu
Record of 6-15 on AW but he returned from a break with low-key efforts on Polytrack (1m) and Tapeta (9.4f) last month; now drops back in grade but he needs to rediscover his spark back in trip; cheekpieces reapplied.

Talis Evolvere
Losing run is up to 14 and was only fifth when favourite at Kempton last month but he was runner-up at Haydock (1m) in the autumn and is now 10lb lower than for his win here last winter; not ruled out.

Tribal Wisdom
Has form figures of 141143 on Tapeta since October and he had a wide trip when a creditable third at Wolverhampton (7f) last week; probably still has some room to manoeuvre off this mark and this step back up in trip looks a positive; shortlisted.

United Approach
Went close off 2lb higher at Wolverhampton (7f) in November; things didn't go his way at Kempton next time but he was laboured at this track two weeks ago; bit to prove after that and untried at this trip.

Signcastle City
Plenty of placed efforts last year, including over C&D, but no impact in last four starts; continues to edge down the weights but his last win was in August 2024 and others are more persuasive; stablemate of Talis Evolvere.

Golden Pharaoh
In-form 5yo who won by 4l at Ffos Las in September and has gone close at Doncaster (7f) and over C&D in last two starts; only 1lb higher than for his latest second and he's respected back from a short break.

Grabajabba
Two novice wins on Tapeta last December; 0-6 in handicaps but he ran into some trouble before finishing well when third at Chelmsford (7f) last month; wasn't far off his best there and he's in the mix back up in trip.
