4th	1	3	Botanical (G) Progressed into a smart performer in 2024. Placed in the Doncaster Mile on this card on his 2025 reappearance. Didn't really kick on in a light campaign after but his good record fresh makes him a da…	3585-49	S H James K R Burke	6	62.6kg	12 11/1
14th	2	13	La Botte (C) FAV Unlucky second in last year's Britannia at Royal Ascot and made an eye-catching return to action when 2 lengths fourth in the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton (8.6f), running on from too far back under…	42-4078	J P Spencer Harry Eustace	4	62.6kg	4 3/1
9th	3	19	Shout (G) Resumed his progression with a big-field handicap win at Ascot (1m, good to soft) in September. Backed that up when fourth of 20 in the Balmoral there on final start. Contender for a yard which has h…	14-9030	R Havlin S & E Crisford	4	61.2kg	13 12/1
16th	4	14	Great Acclaim (G) Reacted really well to blinkers last summer, winning at Goodwood and Chepstow before running 3 crackers in defeat in strong handicaps at Goodwood and Ascot (all 7f, including on soft). Well beaten in…	0-03238	Callum Hutchinson Eve Johnson Houghton	5	60.8kg	51 50/1
15th	5	17	Thunder Roar (G) Second and first past the post (demoted to second) in last 2 runnings of the Spring Mile. Career-best effort to win a 1m Ayr handicap on soft last autumn. Should be sharper for Wolverhampton return 3…	02-7000	D Nolan T Coyle & K Wood	7	60.8kg	34 33/1
17th	6	18	Anno Domini (G) Fifth in the Group 1 Futurity over C&D on heavy in autumn 2024. Has seen the track only 3 times since but there was enough in his 2 performances at Meydan this winter to think he still retains his ab…	115/29-6	Toby Moore C Appleby	4	60.8kg	15 14/1
1st	7	2	Urban Lion (G) Won a pair of 1m handicaps last year, including his reappearance. Further progress when third in the Shergar Cup Mile at Ascot (good to firm) in August and he was better than the result in the Cambri…	09-1009	Edward Greatrex J Channon	5	59.9kg	10 9/1
18th	8	12	Tarkhan (G) Useful performances when runner-up in 7f handicaps on soft at Sandown and Newbury in the second half of last season but he ended the campaign with 2 lesser efforts. Others are more obvious.	427200-	William Carver J A Osborne	7	59kg	101 100/1
7th	9	6	Eternal Force (G) It took him 5 attempts to win a maiden but his form has taken off since, winning competitive 1m handicaps at Newbury (soft) and Haydock (good to soft; by 3 lengths) last autumn. Almost certainly more…	111-726	Cieren Fallon W J Haggas	4	59kg	5 4/1
6th	10	16	Valvano (G) BT Has shown useful form in handicaps, looking suited by a drop back in trip on his final 2 starts last year, travelling well again when third of 14 over C&D on heavy in October. If a new headgear combi…	35/4033-	H Crouch R M Beckett	5	59kg	11 10/1
12th	11	7	Galeron (G) Fifth in this off 7 lb higher on last year's reappearance and ended that campaign with a runner-up effort over C&D on heavy in October. Enters calculations with Jack Callan taking a handy 5 lb off.	5342-06	Jack Callan C Hills	6	58.5kg	15 14/1
2nd	12	5	Rogue Diplomat (C) Ended 2025 with a handicap 4-timer over 7f, with the last 2 legs coming here (heavy ground second occasion). No surprise were this excellent yard to get even more out of him in 2026 but he does need …	1-25712	Harry Davies James Owen	4	58.5kg	12 11/1
13th	13	1	Greek Order (G) V Underperformed during US stint but quickly found top form back in Britain last year, hitting the frame in a trio of top-end handicaps (including Royal Hunt Cup). Not so good in the autumn but might h…	0-04566	Jason Hart M L W Bell	6	58.1kg	17 16/1
19th	14	22	Mirabeau (G) Useful sort but the handicapper looked in control for most of last season. His stable won this in 2024 but his claims still aren't obvious on his return having been gelded.	50-0120	K Stott D J S Ffrench Davis	4	58.1kg	41 40/1
21th	15	20	Orandi (G) T Winner of last year's Irish Lincolnshire before finishing a close third in this. However, he disappointed in this year's Irish Lincolnshire on his recent reappearance so can't be sure he turns up in …	0-00781	Jack Kearney A J Martin	8	58.1kg	29 28/1
11th	16	10	Theoryofeverything (G) T Second to the reopposing Thunder Roar off this mark at Ayr (soft) last autumn. Has run well fresh before and his stable has had several place in this over the years.	8-05458	O J Orr D O'Meara	6	58.1kg	41 40/1
5th	17	4	Alpha Crucis (G) P Goes well when the mud is flying. Drew a blank in 2025 but his runner-up effort at Sandown and Goodwood at the end of last summer were as good as anything he's produced. Eighth in this on good last y…	0226-55	Rhys Clutterbuck G & J Moore	6	57.6kg	29 28/1
3rd	18	21	Tribal Chief (G) T Won 4 handicaps in 2024 and firmly back on the up when scoring at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) at the end of last summer. Respectable seventh of 20 in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, good to firm) on final sta…	07-3360	S M Levey D Menuisier	5	57.6kg	15 14/1
20th	19	15	Metal Merchant (G) B Won the Newbury Spring Cup on his 2024 reappearance. Posted some good efforts in defeat later that year but below par in only 2 outings last season. Has left Jack Channon ahead of reappearance. Also …	00-0004	N Callan Brian Toomey	6	57.6kg	51 50/1
9th	20	11	Christian David (H) B Returned from a 9-month absence to win at Newbury (7f, soft) last autumn and back on the up when leading close home at Lingfield (7f again) in December. Only tenth of 12 in the Lincoln Trial on his r…	934545	Alec Voikhansky R Hannon	5	57.2kg	67 66/1
—	21	8	Bopedro (G) V Winless since scoring on the July Course at Newmarket in 2023 but countless good efforts in defeat to his name since. Very much at the veteran stage now.	294460-	Mark Winn D O'Meara	10	56.7kg	34 33/1
8th	22	9	La Trinidad (G) C&D winner who signed off for 2025 with a respectable third at Redcar. Likely vulnerable to younger legs in a race as hot as this.	495473-	P J McDonald Roger Fell	9	56.2kg	41 40/1
