6f turf win last summer and ended 2024 with three runner-up finishes; absence to overcome
7 (10)	Royal Duke Bay J:Rhys Elliott(5) T:R Mike Smith	J:Rhys Elliott(5) T:R Mike Smith	126	—	23162-	51	74	63	147d	—	—	+3	15.8	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Progressive at a low level last year; still low mileage; market useful after an absence

Back to form on AW the last twice; still seeking a first turf win though; others are safer
5 (9)	Jamie Bond Bay J:Andrew Breslin(3) T:Bryan Smart	J:Andrew Breslin(3) T:Bryan Smart	131	—	904-83	56	73	52	21d	—	—	-7	4.8	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Not beaten far on AW last time; overall profile suggests he's not sure to back it up

Both wins, and most of her best form, has come over C&D; leading contender
1 (7)	Fortunate Star Chestnut J:Zak Wheatley(3) T:Declan Carroll	J:Zak Wheatley(3) T:Declan Carroll	135	—	12-249	60	72	66	61d	—	—	-4	5.2	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Won twice at Southwell in November; below par last time but feasibly treated back on turf
6 (1)	Kyber Crystal Grey J:Hollie Doyle T:Rebecca Menzies	J:Hollie Doyle T:Rebecca Menzies	129	t	25263-	54	71	64	135d	—	—	+1	9.9	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Two wins last year, including C&D; returns to action off fair mark; one for the shortlist
3 (11)	Beneficiary Bay J:Billy Garritty T:Liam Bailey	J:Billy Garritty T:Liam Bailey	134	b	215576	59	71	-	23d	—	—	-2	6.5	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Back to last winning mark and well drawn; had few opportunities on turf; possibilities
11 (6)	Ski Angel Bay J:Amie Waugh(5) T:R Mike Smith	J:Amie Waugh(5) T:R Mike Smith	122	—	84635-	47	72	69	170d	—	—	-3	4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
C&D winner; won on seasonal return last spring; dangerous mark; drying ground not ideal
8 (4)	Stroxx Bay J:Jason Hart T:Liam Bailey	J:Jason Hart T:Liam Bailey	125	b	213539	50	73	-	19d	—	—	+1	6.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Bolted up at Newcastle in January; in and out since and unlikely to be able to dominate
4 (2)	Carmarthen Bay J:Tommie Jakes(5) T:Linda Perratt	J:Tommie Jakes(5) T:Linda Perratt	131	—	3457-9	56	69	57	9d	—	—	0	2.1	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Hard to recommend after last week's reappearance (pulled hard and finished a remote last)
