Nepal
Successful in Britain and Bahrain during his spell with George Scott; gave impression something was amiss when last seen (had wind surgery since); current mark, combined with carrying a big weight, makes this his stiffest handicap assignment.

Be Patient
Comfortably prevailed in Doncaster handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on seasonal debut, following up his autumn AW success (1m, AW) and taking record to 2-3; the only unexposed contender in this field and commands respect with further improvement on the cards.

Blue To Blue
Scored three times (5f/7f) last term for previous yard; inconsistent over 1m this season and failed to beat a rival last time but best form gives him a fighting chance off current mark; continues to steadily rise in distance and now has a crack at 1m2f.

Financer
Scored three times, including over C&D, in 2024; has built up a long losing sequence since but is an in-form contender, half-length second when favourite at Carlisle most recently; on an attractive mark and Jake Dickson takes off a bonus 7lb; possibilities.
