Verdict

The one who appeals most is MY AMBITION, who likes it here and he made a positive start to the present campaign when runner-up at Lingfield off this mark last month. It's likely that Signcastle City will also come to the fore, provided that he's able to shrug off a disappointing effort last time, while Magical Merlin should come on for his pipe-opener at Kempton and is also likely to have a say.

6	Has won 3 times over this C&D and made the frame on 3 of his 4 visits to this course in 2025. Solid second from the front on return to action on the all-weather at Lingfield last month and should make a bold bid to go one better. 1st Pick 6 My Ambition (Ire) Jockey: Hollie Doyle Trainer: Denis Coakley J: Hollie Doyle T: Denis Coakley	99	-	-	-	46%	6/5
Analysis Has won 3 times over this C&D and made the frame on 3 of his 4 visits to this course in 2025. Solid second from the front on return to action on the all-weather at Lingfield last month and should make a bold bid to go one better.
2	Ended a losing run at Chelmsford (7f) in February and wasn't seen to best effect at the same course on his next 2 starts. No obvious excuses when down the field at Southwell last time but he was a C&D winner on sole previous visit here and his current mark is an attractive one. 2nd Pick 2 Signcastle City (Ire) Jockey: Joe Leavy Trainer: Richard Hannon J: Joe Leavy T: Richard Hannon	100	-	-	-	20%	4/1

3	Losing run stretches back to 2023 but made the frame all 4 appearances last year and reappearance spin at Kempton at the beginning of the month was probably needed. Down to a career-low mark and he's by no means discounted. 3rd Pick 3 Magical Merlin (Ire) Jockey: Millie Wonnacott Trainer: Harry Charlton J: Millie Wonnacott T: Harry Charlton	96	-	-	-	17%	5/1
