3rd	1	9	Fortunate Star (G) V Scored over C&D in first-time visor in February and followed up at Newcastle next time. Continued in good heart since, posting a good third back over this C&D despite hanging left. Expected to be in …	511233	C J Whiteley S Hanlon	6	61.2kg	5.50 9/2
6th	2	2	Alfa Sea Breeze (F) T Speedily-bred filly who didn't go without promise in a light 2025 campaign and probably needed first start for 9 months over 6f here 32 days ago. This promises to reveal more with a first-time tongue…	5/465-0	D Nolan I Furtado	4	60.8kg	10 9/1
7th	3	8	Irish Dancer (G) FAV T A 4-time winner in 2025, two of those victories coming over C&D and he's resumed from a break at the top of his game, finding only a stable switcher too good over C&D 18 days ago. Sits just 1 lb abov…	318238	Harry Smith D Carroll	6	60.3kg	3.75 11/4
8th	4	5	Bang On The Bell (G) B Losing run is mounting up but his mark reflects that and he ran his best race for a while when third at Nottingham (5f) last week. Whether he'll be in the same form here is questionable, though.	785382	Jonny Peate J R Jenkins	7	60.3kg	5.50 9/2
1st	5	7	Invitorio (G) FAV Yet to get his head in front for present stable but went with a lot more promise than of late on first try at this trip when second at Catterick (5f) 7 days ago. Certainly well treated if able to bac…	67-8921	Connor Beasley Mrs R Carr	4	58.1kg	3.75 11/4
4th	6	6	Poetic Jack (G) V Raced up with a strong pace when runner-up at Chelmsford (6f) in January and dispelled a lesser effort reverting to front running when fourth in a minor event back there in February. More on his plat…	448666	Jack Callan R M H Cowell	6	56.2kg	17 16/1
9th	7	10	Noble Phoenix (G) Modest maiden at best, has lost his way, showing nothing after 5 months off at Wolverhampton 16 days ago.	0099-09	S D Bowen D Flood	4	55.8kg	101 100/1
5th	8	3	Anglesey Lad (G) Long-standing maiden who proved expensive to follow on turf/all-weather last year, disappointing at Wolverhampton in June. Absent since but does line up operating from career-low mark.	3427-54	K T O'Neill S Dixon	5	55.8kg	29 28/1
2nd	9	1	Desert Master (G) V C&D winner who hasn't scored in 22 runs but posted one of his better efforts when runner up here in February. Below that level in 2 starts at Newcastle last month, however.	262474	Alex Jary A Brittain	5	55.3kg	17 16/1
10th	10	4	Hi Hoh Tonto (H) Modest maiden who finished down the field all 4 starts in 2025 but did at least shape better than bare result starting out for new yard/after 12 months off when sixth at Chelmsford 6 weeks ago, doing…	780-605	William Cox R Burdon	7	55.3kg	19 18/1
