This is wide open and it could pay to take a chance on MASTER BUILDER. He ended last season on a low-key note but his record fresh is good and having fallen back down to a very appealing mark, he's of interest with Rossa Ryan an eye-catching booking. Mafting has started the season in fine form and is an obvious threat. Thirsk scorer Minhad, last year's winner Great Bedwyn and Military Cross are others fancied to feature.

Progressive as a 3-y-o (placed in Melrose here) and kicked off last season with a good second at Epsom (1½m) in the spring. Form proved rather up and down thereafter but he returns from 6 months off potentially very well treated and Rossa Ryan a significant booking.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster1m 3f 197yHeavyFlat21/22Newbury1m 5f 61yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat10/14Haydock Park1m 6f 1yGoodFlat6/15Goodwood1m 6fGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat12/14Goodwood1m 6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/8- 1(9)GalyxJ: Tom MarquandT: Jack Channon41/973-Age 59/29/24/1

A dual winner in 2024 who was lightly raced last season, posting his best effort when third at Carlisle (11f) in June, albeit not entirely convincing at the trip.

Took this race from 4 lb higher on last year's reappearance. Winless subsequently but enhanced good record fresh when second at Kempton (1½m) in March.

Rather stuttered in handicaps during the second half of last season but form from the spring was strong and having been gelded, made a winning reappearance at Thirsk (1½m, good) 25 days ago.

Doubled his tally on reappearance at Redcar (1¼m) and, up 4 lb, ran to a similar level when second at Doncaster (1½m, good to firm) 11 days ago, finding only one who was slightly better placed off a modest pace too good.

Useful handicapper at his best for Sir Michael Stoute. Without a win when trained by Kevin Ryan last year but ran well following 6 months off/stable switch when second at Musselburgh 31 days ago.

Progressed again last year and placed on 3 of his 4 starts since returning to action in March, staying on for third at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 16 days ago.

Enjoyed a remarkable 2025, winning 6 times at up to 1¼m. Picked up where he'd left off when runner up at Musselburgh (9f) in April and whilst he proved disappointing back there last time, his overall record suggests he's a likely candidate to bounce back returned to a longer trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh1m 2yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat11/13Musselburgh1m 208yGoodFlat2/12Musselburgh1m 2ySoftFlat2/8Doncaster7f 6yHeavyFlat6/15Ayr7f 50yHeavyFlat1/8- 17(5)Free WorldJ: Silvestre De SousaT: Ian Williams94/9-Age 522/128/125/1

Successful twice on turf at up to 1¼m last summer. Ended the campaign with a below par display at Newcastle but he ought to come on for last month's Redcar reappearance.

Son of Nathaniel who finished placed on all 7 starts for the Gosden stable, unsuited by muddling pace when third on handicap debut at Southwell (1¾m) in January. Changed hands for 65,000 gns after (also had breathing operation) and his mark appeals as a workable one with tongue tie now added.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell1m 6f 21yStandardFlat3/7Wolverhampton1m 4f 51yStandardFlat3/12Newcastle1m 2f 42yStandardFlat2/10Redcar1m 2f 1yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat2/7Kempton Park1m 3f 219yStandard / SlowFlat2/9- 6(16)SportingsilvermineJ: Kieran ShoemarkT: James Owen227-000Age 522/120/118/1

A reliable and dual winner in 2025. Yet to fire in 3 quick runs this spring though, weakening over 1f out when tenth in 15-runner handicap at Chester (12.3f) last week.

Cashed in off much-reduced mark at Pontefract (1½m) on penultimate start and defied a token rise in weights when following up over 1¼m back there 2 weeks ago, responding well to his talented claimer's urgings.

Defied an 8 lb higher mark over 2m at Haydock in summer 2024. However, proved inconsistent during a winless 2025, not at best when third at Catterick (1½m, soft) on final outing in October.

Winner of a Redcar novice in October. Low-key start on all-weather upon joining this yard but her latest 6½ lengths seventh behind reopposing Minhad at Thirsk (1½m, good) was a step back in the right direction.
