6th	1	1	Naughty Niall (G) FAV PT As good as ever when runner-up to Port Noir over C&D latest. Makes appeal with Silvestre De Sousa (1-1) back aboard and has a handy draw to boot.	274260	S De Sousa Ian Williams	5	61.2kg	3.50 5/2
7th	2	12	Scenario (F) Had Billy Loughnane aboard for the first time when capitalising on a falling mark at Bath (1m) latest, though could be worth opposing under a 5-lb penalty.	175065	Cieren Fallon A W Carroll	4	60.8kg	17 16/1
1st	3	13	Roman Secret (M) Sole previous success came at this course for previous yard and while she needs to bounce back from a quiet end to last year, her mark is a tempting one.	67-1638	Callum Hutchinson K Frost	5	60.3kg	23 22/1
3rd	4	6	Port Noir (M) T Has developed a fine rapport with this apprentice jockey, making it 4 wins from previous 5 all-weather starts when seeing off Naughty Niall by a length here last time. Should go well again off an unc…	161370	Rose Dawes R Stephens	9	60.3kg	5 4/1
5th	5	4	Balqaa (M) Had the race run to suit when cosy winner of a C&D classified stakes but was very slowly away (not for the first time) when fifth of 10 at Southwell latest.	615584	Jason Hart T Culhane & S Barclay	8	59.9kg	7.50 13/2
—	6	7	Desiderata (G) Backed up his classified stakes win here with a creditable third in similar company at Lingfield but more needed back in a handicap.	322613	Finley Marsh T Faulkner	6	59.9kg	11 10/1
11th	7	8	Like Magic (G) Dual Flat winner in Germany but no form for Max Young and fared little better, despite featuring more prominently in the betting, when ninth of 11 in a handicap (5/1) at this course on stable debut.	0960-89	L Morris D M Loughnane	5	59kg	13 12/1
4th	8	5	Bossy Parker (G) Ended a long losing run when successful in a classified stakes here last time, though the switch back to a handicap is likely to prevent a follow up.	532514	Zak Wheatley T Culhane & S Barclay	6	59kg	12 11/1
2nd	9	11	Arlecchino's Rex (G) H Has backed up last month's C&D success with pair of creditable third-place finishes here. Likely to be dropped in from stall 11 and could be in the mix again if getting the breaks.	332377	N Callan M D I Usher	4	58.5kg	6 5/1
—	10	9	Al Shabab (G) Showed what he can do at this level when runner-up behind Arlecchino's Rex over C&D but proved too free to justify favouritism in classified company here last time.	522728	Non Runner P D Evans	5	58.5kg	15 14/1
9th	11	3	Ignition (G) P Has hit the frame both starts here under this apprentice jockey, no match for a couple of fair sorts over C&D most recently.	346390	Zoe Lewis T Faulkner	4	57.6kg	7 6/1
8th	12	10	Wrist Art (G) VT Best run this year came over C&D in January but extended a long losing run when well held on first try over a sprint trip here latest.	5U3452	Christian Howarth James Owen	9	57.2kg	51 50/1
10th	13	2	Busby (G) V Veteran ran a bit better than he has previously this year when fifth of 7 over longer trip here last time but isn't one to get carried away with given his age.	70-5675	Harry Vigors P A Kirby	11	57.2kg	23 22/1
