1
Yes I'm Mali (GB)
Three wins as a 2yo but drawn a blank since; needs to step up on last month's stable debut
5 3 G AVG David O'Meara 135 75 13/2
Open: 15/2
2
Mr Dreamseller
Improving run by run, getting off mark in small-field novice (6f) in February; unexposed
13 3 G AVG David & Nicola Barron 134 74 10/1
Open: 8/1
3
Hurt You Never (IRE)
Prolific winner but she needs to leave her recent reappearance behind her; 0-7 at Thirsk
11 6 M AVG Adrian Nicholls 133 73 25/1
Open: 22/1
4
Pal Joey (GB)
5f AW win in January; not so good six days later but can bounce back after a break
6 3 G AVG Ben Haslam 132 72 14/1
Open: 14/1
5
Ay Gee Ell (IRE)
Disappointing at Doncaster on his return to turf; should be well treated but not solid
15 3 G Poor Richard & Peter Fahey 131 71 20/1
Open: 25/1
6
Stirrup Cup (GB)
Fine 2nd over C&D on last week's return to action; 1lb higher but still looks a key player
8 3 G AVG Tim Easterby 130 70 4/1
Open: 4/1
7
Impressor (IRE)
Solid 4th at Doncaster and then poorly drawn last time; claims enhanced if rain arrives
18 8 G Poor Phillip Makin 130 70 16/1
Open: 16/1
8
Kings Merchant (GB)
Two-time C&D winner; on a good mark and latest Newcastle fourth wasn't without hope
4 4 G AVG Philip Kirby 128 68 9/2
Open: 5/1
9
Knicks (IRE)
This mark not beyond him and he has run well fresh after a break; betting useful
14 4 G Poor Michael & David Easterby 127 67 14/1
Open: 16/1
10
Lord Abama (IRE)
Three-time C&D winner; good C&D run eight days ago but work to do with Stirrup Cup
9 6 G AVG Michael Dods 126 66 13/2
Open: 6/1
11
Ashen (IRE)
0-9 but he hasn't been with Jim Goldie for long; return to turf and 6f could both help
2 3 G Poor Jim Goldie 125 65 18/1
Open: 16/1
12
Monotone (IRE)
Latest fifth wasn't without hope but he is back up in class today
12 3 G Poor Antony Brittain 124 64 28/1
Open: 40/1
13
One More Dream (GB)
Prolific winner but not found his best so far in 2026; others appeal more for win purposes
1 6 G AVG John & Sean Quinn 124 64 28/1
Open: 22/1
14
Taygar (IRE)
On a good mark on last summer's best; returns from six months off; betting to guide
16 4 F AVG Michael Dods 124 64 18/1
Open: 33/1
15
Iris Dancer (GB)
Enjoyed ground-saving ride when 2nd at Pontefract on her return 11 days ago; respected
7 7 M AVG Tristan Davidson 123 63 16/1
Open: 16/1
16
Brave Empire (IRE)
Should be well handicapped but he has been disappointing so far this year
10 4 G AVG Ivan Furtado 122 62 18/1
Open: 16/1
17
Sherlock (IRE)
Infrequent winner but unexposed as a sprinter and holds each-way claims
3 3 G Poor Kevin Ryan 121 61 14/1
Open: 18/1
18
Solar Biricz (IRE)
Two 5f wins for former trainer; cheekpieces return for stable debut
17 3 G AVG Mark Walford 116 56 25/1
Open: 16/1
