#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	Odds
1 (6)	Lazzar b Finley Marsh · Richard Hughes	Finley Marsh · Richard Hughes	135	—	84811-	70	83	76	15d	—	—	+1	31.4	7/4 36%
Chasing a hat-trick after two 6f wins at Lingfield; 2lb rise for latest looks manageable
6 (3)	Invincible Melody b Jack Dace(5) · Stuart Williams	Jack Dace(5) · Stuart Williams	126	v	275-42	61	82	71	11d	—	—	-13	9.6	11/4 27%
Exposed 15-race maiden; good 2nd off 1lb higher 11 days ago (7f); each-way claims again
4 (5)	Massimo Blue b Jack Mitchell · George Baker	Jack Mitchell · George Baker	132	t	81249-	67	79	63	48d	—	—	+1	13.4	11/2 15%
Not at his best on last two starts and others bring more persuasive claims
2 (4)	Siobhanbrogan b Jason Hart · Hugo Palmer	Jason Hart · Hugo Palmer	135	v	0/284-	70	79	38	45d	—	—	-3	8.1	15/2 12%
Dangerous mark on her best form but quiet in two runs this winter; now tried in a visor
8 (2)	Vitalline b Tyler Heard · Keiran Burke	Tyler Heard · Keiran Burke	116	tv	5415-2	51	79	68	5d	—	—	-1	7.8	17/2 11%
Needs luck in running but arrives in good form; this a better race than he usually tackles
7 (7)	Buraback b Lewis Edmunds · Derek Shaw	Lewis Edmunds · Derek Shaw	122	—	4384-8	57	78	69	13d	—	—	-2	3.2	18/1 5%
Handicapped to go well but he would be more appealing at 5f
5 (8)	Darn Hot Time b Hollie Doyle · Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole	Hollie Doyle · Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole	127	h	26676-	62	80	64	33d	—	—	0	5.4	22/1 4%
Drop back in trip looks the right move but needs to better earlier handicap runs to win
3 (1)	Stapleford Park b Robert Havlin · Michael Attwater	Robert Havlin · Michael Attwater	132	—	/9708-	67	78	-	136d	—	—	+2	5	50/1 2%
Achieved little in 2025, including on stable debut; plenty to prove
