1st	1	8	Monsieur Kodi (G) P Has run with credit when reaching the frame on his last 7 outings, finishing third of 11 over 7f at Chelmsford last time. Likely to give another good account.	2-31742	Warren Fentiman R A Fahey	7	61.2kg	4.50 7/2
4th	2	2	Mr Cool (G) P Two turf wins over 6f in the first half of 2025. Also a good second at Kempton (6f) in October but has struggled in 4 outings since. It remains to be seen whether a step up to 7f for only a second ti…	735231	Cieren Fallon C Johnston	4	61.2kg	9.50 17/2
2nd	3	9	Signcastle City (G) FAV Sixteen runs since last win in 2024. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 17 days ago. Others are more obvious.	023254	Thomas Greatrex R Hannon	6	60.8kg	4.33 10/3

3rd	6	3	Iconic Times (G) Has rather lost his was since a 6f Kempton win last July, returning from a break to finish eighth of 11 there (6f again) 17 days ago. Needs to have come on a fair bit.	609011	Saffie Osborne H Main	4	59.9kg	10 9/1
5th	7	4	Dandy Khan (F) Four course wins (3 over this trip) since joining Jim Boyle. Last Saturday's 1m course third of 12 shows she's still in form. Likely to go well again.	535656	Ashley Lewis J R Boyle	4	56.2kg	6.50 11/2
7th	8	1	Split Elevens (G) Three-time C&D winner. 66/1, good third of 14 in handicap at Southwell (7f) when last seen in October. Could play a prominent role if fully primed after 106 days off.	454124	S D Bowen J Butler	8	55.8kg	15 14/1
9th	9	7	Comedian Leader (M) Out of sorts in recent starts, finishing last of 8 over C&D last Saturday. Big turnaround needed.	789655	L Morris J & S Best	6	53.5kg	51 50/1
