10th	2	5	Al Mubhir (G) Smart at best for William Haggas but last win was back in July 2024 (listed race at Sandown) and he largely struggled during a stint in Australia last year. Absent 7 months (has had a breathing opera…	500-059	Shane Gray K A Ryan	7	62.1kg	41 40/1

6th	4	15	Apiarist (G) Built on the promise of his return when winning with Jack Callan in the saddle at Lingfield in February, his fifth career success (4 on all-weather). However, was below form at Newcastle on Good Frid…	130600	Jack Callan K A Ryan	5	60.3kg	9 8/1
3rd	5	3	Sea Force (G) P Confirmed the promise of his first 3 starts in handicaps when scoring at Yarmouth (9f) in September. Looked rusty after 6 months off when mid-field at Musselburgh 20 days ago, so he could still have …	461-630	O J Orr W J Haggas	4	58.5kg	6 5/1
13th	6	2	Flight Plan (H) T Made all in this race last year but struggled for form subsequently. However, from his falling mark he fared better when fourth of 8 at Lingfield (1¼m) in February and shaped as if still in good hear…	609480	S H James K R Burke	6	58.5kg	6.50 11/2
11th	7	4	Rhoscolyn (G) T Landed a sixth Goodwood success in the Golden Mile last summer. Wasn't able to match that level the remainder of the year but shaped as if retaining his ability when fifth of 8 in conditions race her…	4-50050	C J Whiteley D O'Meara	8	58.5kg	23 22/1
1st	8	8	Mirsky (G) Returned to winning ways over this C&D last spring before following up at Epsom. Found things tougher on his remaining 2 starts last season, but after 9 months off he ran well when third of 12 at Mus…	100799	Mark Winn D O'Meara	7	58.1kg	6 5/1
9th	9	9	City Of Poets (C) Won 2 of first 3 starts and ended the year with a first handicap success at Wolverhampton in November. After 4 months off, shaped best when never-nearer third of 12 at the same course 6 weeks ago. He…	1-39410	Dylan Hogan J Tate	4	58.1kg	6.50 11/2
8th	10	1	Esherann (C) T Naas maiden winner last summer and, fitted with more severe headgear, doubled his tally in handicap at the Curragh on final outing of the campaign. After 8 months off/left D. K. Weld, possibly needed…	141-889	Zak Wheatley D Carroll	4	57.6kg	51 50/1
—	11	10	Bellarchi (M) Has proved better than ever this year, upped in grade when scoring over 7f at Musselburgh early last month before following up at the same course (1m) 20 days ago. More needed in this contest but she…	119116	A Mullen Grant Tuer	5	57.2kg	11 10/1
7th	12	13	Dashing Darcey (G) Useful handicapper for Roger Varian in 2024 and bounced back to best on second start for current yard when runner-up at Haydock (1m) last spring. Possibly found the drop back to 7f against him at Yor…	023/020-	O McSweeney G A Harker	5	56.7kg	19 18/1
4th	13	14	Accentuate (G) Off the mark with a ready success in a Windsor novice last summer. Wasn't beaten far on handicap debut at Ascot next outing but well held at the latter course in September and off 7 months since (has…	3/2150-	Sean Kirrane T D Easterby	4	56.2kg	34 33/1
5th	14	12	A War Eagle (G) Won a Beverley handicap (7.5f) for Edward Bethell last summer and left his seasonal/stable debut effort behind when making all over the same C&D 9 days ago. Faces a tougher ask back in this higher gr…	0-81553	Billy Garritty M & D Easterby	4	54.4kg	29 28/1
12th	15	6	Redarna (G) P Veteran who caused a 66/1 upset in this race back in 2022. Has been successful each year since, recording a ninth career victory at Ayr in September, but finished well held at Musselburgh on this sea…	14-0066	Cam Hardie Mrs Dianne Sayer	12	51.7kg	101 100/1
