BobaciousMason Paetel (5) - E A L Dunlop-52461	5/2	11/10
Has run some good races this year and he made all under Mason Paetel when back up in trip at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month, the third and fourth have both won since and he's firmly in calculations up just 3lb.
AnnexationJack Doughty - A W Carroll442652	11/4	6/5
His losing sequence goes back 16 races to April 2024 and he was soundly beaten behind Bobacious at Leicester last month, but he left that behind to go close at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last Friday, one to consider.
TexJack Callan (5) - George Baker642-44	4/1	8/5
Very close fourth on handicap/seasonal debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in May and again ran well when filling the same position at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago, this lightly raced 4yo can give another good account and perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will eke out something extra.
Imperial CultWarren Fentiman (3) - R Cook & J Bridger83-764	11/2	19/10
Won off this mark over C&D last September and he's worth a second look now back here, however, he's failed to shine on his three starts this year so has something to prove, unproven on fast ground.
Early Morning DewAshley Lewis (7) - J & S Best635465	7/1	13/5
Well beaten twice in a row over hurdles this spring and only fifth of seven when back on the Flat at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) a fortnight ago, however, he won over C&D last August on his sole previous course visit and is well treated on AW form as recent as February, not written off.
EctocrossJack Dace (5) - S Dow889-77	11/1	9/2
C&D winner who continues to drop down the weights, however, he's struggled on his five outings since last July and a major turnaround is needed.
FihraynLuke Catton - J R Boyle-33285	14/1	6/1
In fair form on AW early this year and he's also effective on turf, however, he's failed to threaten on his two outings for this stable and needs to raise his game if he's to record a first win at the 18th attempt.

	Win	Place
IbsharaS M Levey - R Hannon32	5/4	8/15
Promising third on debut at Kempton (7f, AW) last month and another good run when second at Newmarket (7f, good) since, no match for the winner last time and takes on males for the first time today, but she sets a good standard for the rest to aim at.
Starlight TimeRay Dawson - R VarianFirst Race	5/2	10/11
14,000gns yearling, fifth foal, Time Test half-brother to 6f AW 2yo winner Be Glorious (RPR 73), dam well-bred 1m winner (including Listed), with a top trainer and he could have a big part to play on his first start.
Capall RasaPierre-Louis Jamin - Tom DascombeFirst Race	11/2	8/5
68,000euros yearling, second foal, Footstepsinthesand half-brother to 5f 2yo winner Mission Command (RPR 89), dam 1m AW 2yo winner (79), trainer 2-11 (18%) with 2yos here in the last five years, not ruled out on debut.
EschweilerT P Queally - G & J Moore5	15/2	12/5
Not devoid of ability when fifth of ten at 40-1 on debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm) four weeks ago and he's open to improvement, but a sizeable step forward is needed if he's to make an impact today.
Supreme ChiefCharles Bishop - Eve Johnson HoughtonFirst Race	8/1	13/5
15,000gns foal, 30,000gns yearling, second foal, dam 1m winner (RPR 79), half-sister to four winners, trainer is enjoying another productive season with her 2yos and this Supremacy newcomer could go well.
FletcherP Cosgrave - J R BoyleFirst Race	22/1	9/1
Third foal, Without Parole half-brother to 1m2f/11.6f winner Irezumi (RPR 60), dam 1m-1m1f winner (85), local trainer enjoys plenty of success here but has a lowly strike-rate with 2yos.

AlzahirWarren Fentiman (5) - J Candlish457541	7/4	3/4
Kicked off the turf season with two wins in a row (7f, good) and back on the scoresheet at Chester (6f, good) on Saturday, carries a 5lb penalty today but Warren Fentiman removes the same amount and he's a solid candidate.
Mister BluebirdJack Dace (7) - H Main99-351	10/3	5/4
Returned to winning ways under Jack Dace at Goodwood (6f, soft) last month, his form can be in and out but he ran really well over 7f here (good) last July on his sole previous visit, and could go well once more.
NazronHollie Doyle - I Furtado-63072	4/1	7/5
Having dropped down the weights he was short-headed at Chester (5f, soft) last month, he's inconsistent and 5f may be his optimum trip, but seems versatile ground-wise and might not be far away if backing up his latest run.
HuscalBilly Loughnane - C Hills11-730	5/1	13/8
Two wins (6f, good/good to firm) last season from his three 2yo starts, patchy form this campaign but gelded since a disappointing run at Leicester last time and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a big effort.
Far Above DreamCallum Shepherd - James Owen57210	15/2	5/2
2l win on his stable and handicap debut at Bath (5.7f good) last month and subsequent run at York eight days later may have come too soon, when well beaten, retains potential and this 3yo could still have plenty more to offer for his in-form stable.
MehmarWilliam Carver - J A Osborne16d00-9	16/1	6/1
Won two in a row for Michael O'Callaghan last summer but below par on final few runs for that yard and finished down the field on stable debut at Windsor in May, needs to get back on track.

	Win	Place
SuduRay Dawson - R Varian54-54	5/4	4/7
Gelded after reappearance, second favourite for handicap debut at Newbury (1m4f, good) but had no luck, repeatedly checked in his run before ending up fourth of 12 (neck behind Navid on same terms), off an unchanged mark, he has to be of huge interest.
NavidHollie Doyle - Harry Charlton08-863	4/1	11/8
Favouritism did not result in an upturn in his second handicap (1m2f, good to firm), cheekpieces were then enlisted at Newbury (1m4f, good) three weeks ago and he was more competitive in third of 12, making most, but Sudu encountered a stack of traffic problems and finished just a neck behind, they meet at the same weights today, so the placings may well be reversed.
Big Bear HugP Cosgrave - J R Boyle2823-1	9/2	29/20
Rarely seen on firmer than good but close third on it here once last term, last July's win came at this track and her debut for new trainer last month was a 1m4f win at Goodwood, holding on by a short head but just 2lb higher today and she's in serious calculations again.
Golden CircetK Shoemark - J & S Best8-5123	6/1	15/8
Ex-Irish 5yo who has low mileage, made all at Bath (1m2f) in April on second start for new stable and creditable placings at Windsor on both starts since, over 11.4f on first occasion, all three of those races were on good to firm, firmly in the mix.
Pappa LouisPierre-Louis Jamin - Tom Dascombe8-9426	11/1	15/4
Won handicap debut (four ran) on good to firm last August, second at Chester (upped to 1m2f) in May was easily best of his four runs this season, needs better still on this first attempt at 1m4f, tongue tied first time.
VaynorBilly Loughnane - C Hills637-47	16/1	6/1
Latest win was in September 2023 and he's not shown that form since, including on sole visit here, falling in the weights but perhaps too slowly.
GrahamT P Queally - G & J Moore0342-9	20/1	8/1
A bit in and out hurdling for new yard and last of nine on Flat return (7-1) 12 days ago, well treated were he to show his 1m4f/1m6f form of last May/June, blinkers (worn for latest hurdle race, when eighth of ten) return.

Stintino SunsetDylan Hogan - J & S Birkett24-553	7/2	11/10
Won off 1lb higher at Windsor last September and close third there on latest outing, both on good to firm, not far away if this first taste of Epsom proves okay.
Jack LangleyHollie Doyle - S Dow0851	9/2	13/10
Sent off at huge prices for his first three starts but, with a hood added, he came from the rear to score by a neck at 25-1 in 13-runner race at Lingfield (1m4f) four weeks ago in his first classified race, now goes handicapping, also making his turf debut which adds some uncertainty but these are early days and he should have more to offer.
Emily RebeccaS M Levey - R Hannon-22546	9/2	13/10
Close up in all three of her 1m2f handicaps (on AW and good to firm) but appearing at about 1m4f on two of her last three outings has not seen her in such a good light.
Charles MorinPaddy Bradley - P Phelan656-42	15/2	21/10
Ran respectably sole start here, his only win (17 races) came on the turf at Lingfield last May, took minor honour on his latest two outings and is 3lb below that winning mark, so has an each-way chance.
Rupert The PrinceAshley Lewis (7) - P Butler7892	15/2	21/10
Gelded, blinkered and switched to turf when proving vastly more competitive on classified debut at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) 11 days ago, no match for the winner but beating the other five, connections turn to 7lb claimer, not dismissed.
Fighting PoetBilly Loughnane - R T Phillips6-5785	9/1	5/2
2-28 with the wins at Brighton (1m4f/1m2f) last August/September, back 1lb below his last winning mark, following low-level form this term but he was also unheralded when beaten a neck at 33-1 in this race last year.
Arenas Del TiempoK Shoemark - J & S Best76-948	10/1	11/4
No win since 2021, when she scored at this track, some minor honours since on Flat and over hurdles but she came last at Brighton (sole run with a tongue-tie) in April when last seen, not the percentage call.
Pablo PrinceR Havlin - K Jewell2457-9	10/1	11/4
All four wins (37 starts in total) have been on AW, the latest last September off 1lb lower that today, usually held up and did not show on last month's reappearance, has had only five turf races, showing some ability but there seem to be more solid options elsewhere.
Wootton PalacePierre-Louis Jamin - Tom Dascombe6-9980	11/1	3/1
Best form on debut and soundly beaten when sent handicapping in visor/cheekpieces on last two outings (1m2f/11.6f), tongue-tie is now added.
Certain StyleDaniel Muscutt - Mrs L J Mongan416-40	12/1	16/5
Made her breakthrough (16th attempt) in a 2m handicap on the Lingfield AW last November, but was allowed to poach a huge advantage that day and has reverted to lesser shows since, ninth in this race last year.
A Bit IffyJack Dace (7) - R Cook & J Bridger7-867	22/1	7/1
Well beaten all four races, latest on handicap debut (1m2f, good) in a hood, which is now dispensed with, steps up in trip needing big improvement.

Miss ColladaS M Levey - R Hannon686403	10/3	20/23
3yo who was a creditable fourth of 22 at York (7f, good) in May and bounced back from a lesser run at Sandown when third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago, could be thereabouts.
DiamondonthehillK Shoemark - Dr R Newland & J Insole422412	9/2	11/10
Enjoying a consistent year and he won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in April before a solid second at Goodwood (7f, good) in May, key player.
MafnoodJim Crowley - George Baker66-374	9/2	11/10
Has raced over further for the majority of his career but shaped when third over 8.5f here (good) in April on stable debut as though today's distance could be ideal, hasn't kicked on from that run on his two starts since (at Goodwood over 7f and 1m) but he's worth a second look now back here.
Aurora MajestyHollie Doyle - A Watson11966	9/2	11/10
Made debut in March and won his first two starts (7f, AW), it's still early days but he's finished merely sixth in his first two handicaps (6f/7f, good to firm/AW) and a much bigger performance is needed today.
HodlerLuke Catton (5) - J R Boyle8-6633	11/2	13/10
Close third off lower AW mark at Kempton (1m) in May and fair effort when third at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) since, two of his last three wins have come over this C&D and he's respected now back here.
Brave EmpireBilly Loughnane - I Furtado600-07	9/1	2/1
His form went the wrong way last summer for Roger Varian and he was down the field in May on his first two outings for this stable.
Marlay ParkPaddy Bradley - J R Boyle976-26	9/1	2/1
Only sixth over C&D last month but in a higher grade than this and prior to that he went close at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on his reappearance, his last four wins have come over C&D and he's capable of being involved.
Dream Of MischiefDaniel Muscutt - Mrs A J Perrett07-278	14/1	3/1
Below par on last two starts but went very close on reappearance at Kempton in April and this C&D winner ran really well on the two previous occasions he has tried first-time headgear (cheekpieces/hood), so the new blinkers are an interesting angle this evening, runs off last winning mark.
