| 12 |  | 321970 | Idle Stuartia | 2 | 10 | Blair Orange | Form has dropped away since 17 Feb win. Doesn't win out of turn here either. |
| 13 | | 950X11 | Mighty Logan | 1 | 20 | John Dunn | Very much in his happy place. Into a wider grade here, but can overcome 20m. |
| 14 |  | 544411 | Helloveamoment | 2 | 20 | Samantha Ottley | Peeled late for two wins on the grass. Handicaps don't help here. First4s. |
| 15 | | 075466 | Andy Hall | U1 | 20 | Korbyn Newman(J) | Manners not there 22 Mar & stamina absent on 15 Mar. Seeking improvement. |
| 16 | | 104946 | Nazareth | U2 | 20 | Tim Williams | Trial win 13 Mar may boost his mojo after battling summer runs. Give another go. |
| 17 | | 010311 | Eurostyle | 1 | 30 | Kimberly Butt | Very impressive in all three runs in 2024. Danger despite 30m if she starts. |
