| 1 | Are You JokingFourth last time out and a sixth two starts back suggest Are You Joking is competitive, yet he is winless in his last four and returns after 216 days off. He has run over today's trip and carries 168 lb off 100, with our rating of 97 placing him fifth of 18. | 4/064- | 5 | 12-00 | Richie McLernon | Charlie Longsdon | 100 | 8/1 |
| 2 | Highbury HillThird last time out and a winner three starts back, Highbury Hill has run over today's trip and going, but a 205-day absence is a concern and 167 lb is a hefty burden; our 95 rating ranks her seventh of 18. | 37153- | 5 | 11-13 | Murray Dodd(5) | Nigel Hawke | 99 | 14/1 |
| 3 | Stung By TariffsStung By Tariffs is a long absentee at 244 days, and he was pulled up last time, but he was third two starts back and has run on today's going before. Our rating of 104 puts him second of 18, and his official mark of 99 gives him a sound platform. | 6463P- | 5 | 11-13 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Henry Daly | 99 | 18/1 |
| 4 | Man MaidMan Maid is consistent, with a third last time out and a fourth two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. A 216-day layoff and a winless recent run, plus 165 lb on her back, temper the appeal, though our rating of 96 has her sixth of 18. | 44U43- | 5 | 11-11 | James Best | Harriet Dickin | 97 | 16/1 |
| 5 | Isabella IslayIsabella Islay arrives with solid recent form, third last time out, a winner two starts back, and a third three starts back, and has run over today's trip, while our rating of 103 ranks her third of 18. The main risk is a 175-day absence, with 165 lb to carry. | 931-3 | 4 | 11-11 | Stan Sheppard | J Standen | 98 | 10/1 |
| 6 | Corner ForwardCorner Forward arrives off a third last time out, though that came after an eighth and two sixths, and he is yet to win in his last five starts. A 197-day layoff and 164 lb are the concerns, while he has run on today's going before. | P6683- | 5 | 11-10 | Harry Cobden | Anthony Honeyball | 96 | 15/8 |
| 7 | GimariasGimarias was third last time out, and a fifth two starts back suggests he is heading the right way, though he is yet to win in his last four and returns after 200 days off. He has run over today's trip, but 164 lb is a stiff burden off a mark of 96. | /F753- | 6 | 11-10 | Toby Wynne | Mel Rowley | 96 | 8/1 |
| 8 | MoorefieldsMoorefields has twice finished third in his last five starts, and our top-ranked runner of 18 sits 9 lb above his official mark of 95 on 104, while he has run over today's trip. The big risk is a 724-day absence and a fall last time out, so he is yet to show he is fit again. | 3369F/ | 8 | 11-09 | Bryan Carver | Chris Honour | 95 | 20/1 |
| 9 | JacksbarJacksbar bids to build on two seconds and a win in her last three, but she returns after 568 days off and carries 160 lb, which makes her hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip, though, and her form is solid. | 4P122/ | 7 | 11-06 | Tristan Durrell | Dan Skelton | 92 | 12/1 |
| 10 | Midnight PassMidnight Pass arrives on a fair note after a third last time out, and she has run over today's trip and going before, but she is winless in her last six and has been pulled up twice in that spell. Carrying 158 lb off 90, she looks a solid mid-pack type. | P4P363 | 5 | 11-04 | Sean Bowen | Martin Keighley | 90 | 7/1 |
| 11 | Agent ArgylleAgent Argylle's recent form is modest, with a seventh last time out and a win five starts back, but he's been off 229 days and our rating of 98, fourth of 18, makes him a leading threat off an official mark of 89. The main risk is that long absence, plus carrying 157 lb. | 18757- | 6 | 11-03 | Jonathan Burke | Richard Phillips | 89 | 10/1 |
| 12 | I Heard A RumourWinless in her last four, I Heard A Rumour was sixth last time out and a fourth two starts back, before a seventh and an unseated rider, so she is hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and going and has had 28 days to recover, but 156 lb is a big ask, with our rating of 86 placing her 15th of 18. | U74-6 | 5 | 11-02 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | 88 | 6/1 |
| 13 | Viva VincenteWinless in his last four, Viva Vincente was unplaced last time out and returns after 252 days off, though he has run on today's going before and our rating of 92 sits above his official 88. Carrying 156 lb, he looks a mid-pack type. | 6050- | 5 | 11-02 | Adam Wedge | Mrs C. Williams | 88 | 20/1 |
| 14 | NowherenearmilanNowherenearmilan was eighth last time out after a fifth two starts back, and she returns from a 194-day break yet to win in her last five. Our rating of 93 sits above her official 87, but 155 lb is a hefty burden. | 77358- | 5 | 11-01 | Sean Clarke(7) | Max Comley | 87 | 18/1 |
| 15 | V PowerV Power bounced back with a second last time out, but that follows a pulled up and three finishes of seventh or worse, so he is winless in his last five. He has run over today's trip and going and shouldn't be rusty after 24 days, yet 155 lb and a 16th-of-18 ranking on our figures make him hard to fancy. | 997P/2 | 6 | 11-01 | Tabitha Worsley | Thomas Faulkner | 87 | 15/2 |
| 16 | The PadsterThe Padster has been knocking on the door, with a fourth last time out and a second two starts back, but he is winless in his last five and returns after 105 days off. Ranked 14th of 18 on our figures and carrying 152 lb, he is hard to fancy, though he has run over today's trip. | 404-24 | 5 | 10-12 | Callum Pritchard | Joe Tickle | 84 | 16/1 |
| 17 | Angel WaveWinless in his last four, Angel Wave was fourth last time out but had a fall two starts back, and a 194-day absence adds to the doubts. Carrying 152 lb off an official mark of 84, he looks hard to fancy, with our rating of 79 ranking him 17th of 18. | 57F4- | 5 | 10-12 | Dylan Johnston | Sam Thomas | 84 | 6/1 |
| 18 | Deauville LadyDeauville Lady returns after 217 days off, having been unplaced last time out, with a sixth two starts back and a seventh three starts back, so she is yet to win in her last four. She is lightly raced and unexposed, with scope to improve, but she carries 142 lb. | /0760- | 5 | 10-02 | David Noonan | Nigel Hawke | 73 | 40/1 |
