4th	8	7	Masterclass (G) FAV B Took this event 12 months ago but winless since but he failed to build on a solid reappearance fourth when only eighth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (5f) 25 days ago. Quirky sort so no surprise if h…	0638-48	Oisin Murphy P T Midgley	7	58.5kg	3 2/1
10th	9	9	Top Star (G) B Yet to get his head in front and cheekpieces on when a respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 19 days ago. Tried in different headgear here.	827405	D Egan D K Ivory	4	58.1kg	23 22/1
9th	10	2	Mister Mcgregor (G) V Remains a maiden after 23 runs and tried blinkered when fourteenth of 17 in handicap at Thirsk (6f) 31 days ago. Visor is tried now. Unreliable sort.	909239	Faye McManoman M Mullineaux	4	57.6kg	34 33/1

5th	12	8	Nad Alshiba Snow (F) T Is 0-18 and he came in a below-form third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 21 days ago. Others are preferred.	5-54350	Rob Hornby M Murphy	4	57.2kg	21 20/1

11th	14	5	Dunnington Lad (G) Successful twice over 5f at Ripon in 2024 but little to enthuse about since, ninth of 11 on his return at Redcar (6f) 12 days ago.	906736	Ben Ffrench-Davis P Winks	6	57.2kg	41 40/1
