10 (1)	Shazani Bay J:Lewis Edmunds T:Roy Bowring	J:Lewis Edmunds T:Roy Bowring	129	—	81020-	74	90	85	141d	—	—	+2	16.9	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Showed his best 2025 form at Doncaster, winning the Legends race and second in handicap
6 (12)	Stanage Bay J:Sam James T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Sam James T:Michael & David Easterby	132	h	97645-	77	89	80	155d	—	—	-3	10.8	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Defied a 7lb higher mark in a division of this race on reappearance last year; good chance
3 (4)	Epictetus Bay J:Saffie Osborne T:Jamie Osborne	J:Saffie Osborne T:Jamie Osborne	135	b	-73032	80	94	-	22d	—	—	+7	18.8	1.38/1	11/2 15%
0-14 for current stable but went close on AW last time and is still unexposed at 7f
2 (15)	Miletus Bay J:Jack Mitchell T:James Keane	J:Jack Mitchell T:James Keane	136	t	520-25	81	92	-	25d	—	0W/0P 1 run	-2	11.8	1.38/1	11/2 15%
0-9 in handicaps but this return to 7f is worth exploring on third start for new yard
9 (10)	Zarathos Bay J:Hollie Doyle T:Dylan Cunha	J:Hollie Doyle T:Dylan Cunha	130	—	54372-	75	91	84	198d	—	—	+7	15.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Broadly consistent and has the ability to take a serious hand but is a frustrating maiden
7 (2)	Melvin Udall Chestnut J:Rossa Ryan T:Grace Harris	J:Rossa Ryan T:Grace Harris	131	p	4214-	76	90	79	159d	—	—	+10	18.2	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Ran well on final outing for Ed Walker; still unexposed; interesting contender
5 (5)	Captain Parma Bay J:Cieren Fallon T:James Owen	J:Cieren Fallon T:James Owen	133	p	4-2313	78	91	-	22d	—	—	+2	8.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Consistent on AW; can remain competitive provided form is transferred back to turf
14 (3)	Albeseeingyer Bay J:Dougie Costello T:Steph Hollinshead	J:Dougie Costello T:Steph Hollinshead	125	—	47308-	70	93	78	155d	—	—	+2	8.2	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Form over C&D features a win in 2023 and fourth-place finish on 2025 reappearance
15 (7)	Singoura Bay J:Connor Beasley T:Gemma Tutty	J:Connor Beasley T:Gemma Tutty	122	—	0456-0	67	89	83	58d	—	—	0	5.9	4.00/1	16/1 6%

12 (11)	Red Mirage Chestnut J:Harry Vigors(7) T:John & Sean Quinn	J:Harry Vigors(7) T:John & Sean Quinn	127	—	74264-	72	91	82	109d	—	—	+5	9.2	5.00/1	20/1 5%
The oldest contender in this field but is interesting back at Doncaster, being 1-1 here
13 (14)	Forever My Prince Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:Michael Blake	J:Billy Loughnane T:Michael Blake	125	—	40381-	70	92	84	152d	—	—	+13	17.6	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Won claimer on final start for Eve Johnson Houghton; returns to a tougher scenario
4 (8)	War Howl Brown J:Paul Mulrennan T:Ben Haslam	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Ben Haslam	133	—	296-99	78	89	-	23d	—	—	+4	8.1	7.00/1	28/1 3%
1-1 at Doncaster, namely the first leg of a turf double last summer; may revive
8 (6)	Folkene Bay J:Joanna Mason T:Roger Fell	J:Joanna Mason T:Roger Fell	130	—	31097-	75	92	74	158d	—	—	+7	10.8	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Perhaps best watched unless the betting foretells a turnaround
1 (9)	Capital Guarantee Chestnut J:Cian Horgan(5) T:David O'Meara	J:Cian Horgan(5) T:David O'Meara	136	—	13908-	81	89	84	169d	—	—	+9	11.4	8.25/1	33/1 3%
