Mersea Island
Progressive last year, with the second of his two AW wins coming over C&D in December; this is his first run of the year but he has to be of interest.

Heathen
Of his five AW wins, two have come at this track, one over today's distance; respectable third at Chester (2m, good) on his reappearance in May but needs to be at the top of his game here as he is 5lb above his last winning mark.

Scottish Anthem
Both wins came in 2022 when trained in France; returns to the Flat for the first time this year after a couple of runs over hurdles; down to a career-low mark and has had wind surgery but others are preferred.

Cabrera
Hasn't won since landing a Doncaster novice in July 2024 but has been fairly consistent in handicaps; out of her depth in a Listed contest at Pontefract last time but should run her race here.

St Mawes
Won back to back over 2m for Emma Lavelle last autumn and ran well to make the frame despite racing freely in a couple of Goodwood handicaps in May; one wonders if the drop back in trip will play to his strengths on stable debut but he makes greater appeal than most of these.

Arcturus Flame
Sole success came in April 2025 when trained by Darryl Holland; has performed with credit on several occasions since, resulting in him being still 6lb higher than his winning mark; place claims.

Gentle Warrior
Has three wins on turf but has gone off the boil on his last two starts; swaps a visor for first-time cheekpieces on AW debut; not out of this but new headgear needs to have an impact.

- Laura Pearson / D Loughnane

Dance Time
All six wins have come on AW but she is still 3lb above her last winning mark; her recent third at Carlisle (1m6f, good) was encouraging but she needs to step up more to win again.
