3rd	2	—	Stans The Man (G) FAV BT Won this last year and in good back from a break this spring, landing 25f Wincanton handicap in March and creditable second of 10 in Sussex National at Plumpton (3½m, good to soft) 28 days ago. Shoul…	612-357	Ben Godfrey Ella Pickard	9	75.3kg	4.50 7/2

—	6	—	Unanswered Prayers (G) Pulled Up P On a losing run and not much encouragement of late to suggest he's about to end that (seems to be going through the motions a little), once again labouring a long way out when a never-dangerous fourt…	555634-	Caoilin Quinn C Gordon	10	72.1kg	11 10/1
6th	7	—	Enjoy D'allen (G) P Front runner who won twice here towards the end of 2025 (this trip second occasion). Got his head back in front over 3¼m at Plumpton in February and creditable runner-up efforts on 2 of 3 starts sinc…	061272-	Miss Lily Jones N B King	12	71.7kg	11 10/1
