—	1	8	Aim For The Bull (G) P Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs but bounced back to form when creditable second of 13 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 8/1) 18 days ago. Can give another good account.	714411	Callum Shepherd M Murphy	4	61.2kg	5 4/1
—	2	4	Al Baahy (G) Remains with only one career success but wasn't disgraced when fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 17 days ago, making late headway. No surprise to see him run a big race dropped into classifi…	587855	J Mitchell K Frost	7	61.2kg	5 4/1
—	3	6	Catherine Chroi (M) B Twenty six runs since last win in 2024. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 14/1) 31 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Best form has come over shorter but this represents a drop …	8355-44	A Mullen I Jardine	8	61.2kg	4.33 10/3
—	4	2	Magic Fluke (G) One win from 24 Flat runs. Twenty runs since last win in 2023. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 25/1) 81 days ago. Isn't one for maximum faith.	R6870-0	Marco Ghiani J R Jenkins	5	61.2kg	34 33/1

—	6	5	Straight Back Up (F) H Modest maiden. Best effort for this yard when fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) but again pulled hard when hooded for first time, ninth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 19 days a…	049-580	Lloyd Applegate Dr R Newland & J Insole	4	61.2kg	9 8/1
—	7	7	Supernova Steps (M) Thirteen runs since last win in 2024 but ran better than for a while when sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 9 days ago, not seeing out longer trip. Drop in distance/grade should help.	43006-3	Rowan Scott D Loughnane	5	61.2kg	5 4/1
—	8	3	Vitalline (G) PT Overcame adversity to win over 6f at Kempton and shaped as if still in good form when respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 14 days ago, left with lot to do. Needs things to drop …	068519	Josephine Gordon Kieran Burke	8	61.2kg	6 5/1
