1
Beaujolais Nouveau (GB)
Has gone well fresh & her C&D 3rd last September suggests she is still well handicapped
5 2 F Poor Ben Haslam 135 85 25/1
Open: 16/1
2
Leadman (GB)
Talented but has a few ideas of his own; can go well fresh; each-way claims down in class
2 4 G AVG David O'Meara 135 85 11/2
Open: 9/2
3
U Sure Do (IRE)
Ended 2025 on the up; returns on a career-high mark so will need to be cherry ripe
13 3 G AVG Tim Easterby 133 83 11/1
Open: 12/1
4
Frankies Dream (IRE)
Six wins last season; returns from nine months off but still relatively unexposed at 7f
1 3 G AVG Jennie Candlish 133 83 33/1
Open: 25/1
5
One Night Thunder (GB)
In good form last September; returns from 170 days off with a tough enough mark to defy
10 5 G AVG Gemma Tutty 132 82 16/1
Open: 22/1
6
Count Palatine (IRE)
C&D winner; ended 2025 with a good 2nd of 15 at Leicester; likely best watched on return
9 4 G AVG Michael Dods 132 82 22/1
Open: 16/1
7
Melvin Udall (IRE)
Unexposed 4yo; fine start for new yard with big-field win at Doncaster last month; chance
8 3 G Good Grace Harris 131 81 15/2
Open: 11/2
8
Quest For Fun (GB)
Shaped nicely on last month's reappearance; on a dangerous mark if that run brings him on
4 7 G AVG Tim Easterby 129 79 11/1
Open: 10/1
9
Murashah (IRE)
Absent 560 days but his new yard are flying along and he looked promising in 2024
7 3 C AVG Edward Bethell 129 79 15/8
Open: 5/2
10
City Captain (GB)
Four 6f wins last year; should build on last month's reappearance; rain would be a boost
12 3 G Good Harriet Bethell 128 78 7/1
Open: 15/2
11
Woodstock (GB)
Winless in 2025 but retained plenty of ability; market useful after 170 days off
3 5 G AVG Ruth Carr 126 76 16/1
Open: 16/1
12
Alpha Capture (IRE)
Two good runs for new yard this spring (1m); drop to 7f should be fine; contender
11 5 G AVG Roger Fell 125 75 11/1
Open: 12/1
13
Draupnir (GB)
C&D winner last September; only had seven runs so could still rate higher
6 3 G AVG Michael & David Easterby 122 72 16/1
Open: 20/1
