8th	1	10	Imperial Trooper (G) On a long losing run but he comes here on the back of an excellent third over hurdles at Worcester 9 days ago. Not out of things.	263306	George Wood J Candlish	4	64.4kg	26 25/1
—	1	—	Harlington (G)	111338	— Charlie Clover	5	64.4kg	—
10th	2	2	Return With Gold (G) A dual all-weather winner early in 2025. Had a breathing operation before posting a solid fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (11f) in January. Needs to hit the ground running.	8/131-40	Harry Russell Ollie Pears	4	64.4kg	34 33/1
—	2	—	Pride Of Nepal (G)	711117	— A W Carroll	8	64.4kg	—
7th	3	8	Sisterandbrother (G) PH Got back on the up when gaining a third win for Joey Ramsden at Beverley (1½m) 22 days ago, drawing clear under this rider. Has to be on the shortlist.	157177	Taryn Langley Joey Ramsden	8	63.5kg	10 9/1
6th	4	4	Yokkell (M) P Well backed and gained a first win for current yard in 8-runner handicap at Bath (11.6f) 10 days ago. Back up 4 lb but needs considering with cheekpieces refitted.	7-63541	Edward Greatrex A Wintle	7	63kg	5 4/1
5th	5	3	Ottoman (G) B Comfortably doubled his tally in 6-runner handicap at Leicester (1½m) 11 days ago. Hiked up 7 lb here though so needs to take a step forward.	832515	David Probert O Greenall & J Guerriero	4	61.2kg	10 9/1
—	5	—	Probation (G)	34311	Alexandra Egan K P De Foy	3	62.6kg	—
4th	6	6	Grey Fable (G) T Irish raider took this in 2024 and arrives in good nick, scoring at Dundalk in May and fifth of 12 in handicap at Limerick 14 days ago. Must enter calculations.	401954	Ray Dawson K Thornton	6	60.8kg	6.50 11/2
1st	7	5	Al Maslool (G) FAV P Is 0-7 but arrives in good form, third of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (1¼m) 23 days ago when not ideally placed. That form has been franked so he's weighted to go very well back up in trip eased 1 lb…	750231	Jason Watson W J Haggas	3	59kg	3.50 5/2
3rd	8	7	Mr Moonshine (G) Stepped up on reappearance with good second of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (11f) 14 days ago, clear of rest. Very much one to consider in his bid for a first victory.	524-523	O J Orr R A Fahey	3	59kg	5.50 9/2
—	8	—	Precious Spartan (G)	4973-98	A Mullen P Neville	4	60.8kg	—
9th	9	9	Kindly Queen (F) P Still a maiden but she got back on track in a change of headgear with third of 5 in handicap at Windsor four weeks ago on her final run for Ralph Beckett. Not out of things for new yard.	334253	Jason Hart C N Kellett	3	58.5kg	67 66/1
2nd	10	1	Risk Averse Rebel (C) Remains winless but comes here on the back of a good third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m) 39 days ago. This is tougher.	334533	Grace McEntee G Hanmer	3	51.7kg	13 12/1
—	11	—	Mountbatten (C)	877-14	— Sir Mark Prescott	3	59.4kg	—
