1

Lightning Jock

On a long losing run and taking another drop in class, but top handicapper in his prime and dangerous to underestimate in weaker class under top amateur.

2

Kaviar

Generally fine form in 2025, and top jockey booked. No secrets from Handicapper but should run well again.

3

Northern Eclipse

Lightly-raced 3yo in fine form who should go close again for top connections.

4

Earl Of Lips

Started year with a win and generally in good form in better class than this. Should go close.

5

Wazlaw

Sole win came at this track, albeit over much shorter. Some good efforts in defeat, on a good mark and top jockey booked.

6

Oriental King

Usually picks up a race per season, but already a winner and on a high mark, so hard to fancy in tough company.

7

Saralina

A 3yo who finally won her maiden on ninth attempt. Handicap debut but can go well again.

8

Sky Emperor

Doesn’t know how to run a bad race and always tries hard. This will be his 18th start of the season. Can’t be ruled out for a place.

9

Bandida Estrellita

Encouraging handicap debut over this trip latest and cannot be ruled out for another placing.

10

Noreia’s Secondo

Locally trained and knows every blade of grass around here and a course winner but no secrets from handicapper.

11

Ally Mcmagic

Already a two-time winner in 2025 and comes here fresh from Hannover success over this trip and under this race’s rider. Chances, but this is a tough race.

12

Duchess Of Lips

A 3yo whose latest 2nd gives her a respectable chance here.

13

Koffi Vulcano

His latest second in Hannover (also left-handed) over this trip gives him a bit of a chance.

14

Nicosia

Scratched

15

Vermont

Stablemate of Earl of Lips and having handicap debut after three runs. Two pounds ‘wrong’ at the weights out so this looks hard.
