Selected odds by:
Having his 102nd start here and won over C&D two starts back. Not quite in the same form on last two starts but sure to enjoy the drop back in class and still on a workable mark so has to be respectable under a jockey with a good record on the AW.
Dual C&D winner in December but struggling back up in the weights on his last two starts and not won off a mark this high since 2014. May need relief from the handicapper once again.
Inconsistent sort in recent times and shown nothing for this yard in four starts but likely to find this a little less competitive than the races she's been running in over at Dundalk at least.
Better horse on turf and while he's won a couple of races over the minimum trip, he's probably better over a little further.
Unplaced on each of his last eight starts but wouldn't be without a hope if the switch to this yard and a winter break rejuvenates having won off plenty of higher marks in the past. Jockey booking catches the eye.
Disappointing favourite here two starts back and while there's no doubting he's on a workable mark, he's probably a little better on turf and drawn on the wing isn't ideal here.
Thereabouts on all three of his recent starts and finally got his head in front last time on this surface at Wolverhampton. She should cope with the 2lb rise and certainly of interest here if they go quick enough on the front end.
Back down to last winning mark but she doesn't seem quite as good on the AW and things may not pan out ideally from this draw.
Should improve for his recent reappearance effort here but he's still a maiden after 24 starts and he can't be forwarded with any confidence.
No doubt she's well-handicapped on the form of last summer and showed signs she was returning to form here last time but she was still a distance behind the front three and fact remains she hasn't placed on the AW in 10 career starts.
Still a maiden after 25 starts and placed just once in eight starts on the AW. Cheekpieces need to work wonders if she's going to win here.
One win from 20 runs and that came in a seller at Ripon but next best effort came over C&D a few starts back and she could run a place if everything drops right for her.

It may be worth taking a chance on SOCIALITES RED with the showing signs of a return to form. While she's on a long losing streak, she's capable of running well and her jockey is good value for his claim. Dandillion will benefit from any early pace that's on while Windforpower should enjoy the drop in class.
