7th	1	12	Bungle Bay (G) Specialist at Wolverhampton where all eight career wins have been recorded. Won a 7f handicap (11-runner) there (13/2) 31 days ago, staying on to lead in the final 100 yards.	058224	Warren Fentiman H J Evans	6	61.2kg	15 14/1
—	2	9	Haworth Star (G) H Showed promise at Newcastle (16/1) despite troubled run, then finished 7th (17/2) after traffic issues. Appears to be maintaining form at this venue despite setbacks.	270-809	Alex Jary M Young	5	61.2kg	17 16/1
4th	3	6	Kondratiev Wave (G) P Struggling with 19 runs since last win and sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (14/1) 27 days ago, racing too freely. Cheekpieces replacing visor may help settle better.	422462	Jack Doughty A W Carroll	8	60.8kg	6 5/1
2nd	4	14	No Nay Nevermind (F) V Generally modest performer who showed some ability when third of 9 in 6.9f handicap at Carlisle (9/1) in August, finishing fifth of 11 in 7f handicap at Southwell (25/1) 28 days ago without threateni…	756996	Mohammed Tabti I Jardine	3	60.3kg	15 14/1
6th	5	5	Desert Beauty (F) P Inconsistent performer who returned to form when second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14/1) 28 days ago. Has performed better on AW and could build on recent improvement.	292402	Alec Voikhansky Dylan Cunha	3	59kg	13 12/1
5th	6	1	Marcello Si (G) P Has shown poor form but fared better when third of 12 in conditions race at C&D (7/1) 250 days ago with first-time blinkers. Cheekpieces back on for this return.	0-87450	Rhys Elliott M Dods	7	57.6kg	51 50/1
3rd	7	10	Miss Raincloud (F) H Has shown very little in most outings but ran best race when third of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) at 100/1 44 days ago, making headway late on. First-time hood may help with settling issues seen …	308-607	Amie Waugh Miss Tracy Waggott	3	57.2kg	17 16/1
12th	8	3	Sogannie (M) Modest form in novice events, including when third of 5 at this C&D (25/1) 252 days ago. Slowly into stride and always behind when 11th of 12 at Doncaster (400/1) 216 days ago, may be more competitiv…	00097-0	William Pyle Mrs R Carr	4	57.2kg	51 50/1
1st	9	11	Aisling Oscar (G) FAV Third of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14/1) 2 days ago, but unlikely to repeat that form returning quickly to a shorter trip.	274427	O McSweeney A Keatley	4	57.2kg	2.25 5/4
10th	10	8	Doomsday (G) TP Last of 8 at this C&D (50/1) 58 days ago, then sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (66/1) 34 days ago despite enjoying run of race. Continues to struggle for form.	058686	C Horgan L Bailey	6	57.2kg	67 66/1
11th	11	7	Invincible Love (C) Has shown a close second at Wolverhampton in January. Finished fourth of 14 in a handicap at Kempton (16/1) 50 days ago, running up to best but arguably making effort a bit early. May be able to buil…	47-2844	Jack Callan C Johnston	3	56.7kg	6 5/1
9th	12	13	Unknown Journey (G) T Still seeking first win after 14 starts. Showed signs of revival when sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (18/1) 23 days ago, making steady headway in final furlong with first-time tongue strap. Not…	352780	Molly Gunn A W Carroll	3	56.7kg	10 9/1
8th	13	2	Esque Elegance (F) P Yet to win in 13 starts and offered little when eighth of 10 at Southwell (20/1) 27 days ago.	322661	Lauren Young Mrs A Duffield	3	56.7kg	51 50/1
13th	14	4	Freak Encounter (G) Has been inconsistent since winning in January, with 10 runs without success. Fourth of 11 in a handicap at this C&D (66/1) 9 days ago, running well with late headway after being outpaced 2f out. The…	50-9605	Aiden Brookes D W Whillans	3	56.7kg	26 25/1
