Selected odds by:
Manages to win a race or two each season but usually over 7f. Could be a shade too high in the weights so rider's claim is going to be needed. Stable took this last year.
Winner of back to back races at Haydock and Hamilton last summer on soft ground for Tim Easterby. Well beaten on her last couple of starts and best watched until showing more.
Out of his depth last time and seems more at home in class six races these days. Yet to prove he stays beyond 7f so has plenty to prove.
Not that badly weighted based on his Irish form although his efforts in 2016 were largely disappointing based on the levels he achieved the previous summer. Worth a check in the market given a change of scenery.
Switch to a mile paid dividends two weeks ago and in here on just a 3lb higher mark. Was competitive from this rating last summer and is more than capable of following up.
Winner of four AW races including at Wolverhampton last time when stealing the race turning for home. Has more to do here back on turf, up in grade and with a more difficult task at the weights.
Has dropped below the mark which saw him score at Wolverhampton in February and one which saw him finish a good second at Newbury last June. Has primarily raced at 7f and faded on his only previous attempt at a mile. Worth another go given his lazy style of racing.
Struck up a good partnership with this rider last season to score at Leicester and Southwell. Would appreciate further rain and likely to need the run.
Showed a lot more promise on his first run for this yard coming back from a break having been well beaten in a seller on his last run for his old yard. Not well placed over a mile at Newcastle on the AW (raced away from main group) and showed that there may well be some mileage in him off this mark. Yard are 9-28 here and rider 5-23 for them.
Winner of a poor Wolvehampton maiden in December and has struggled in three handicaps since. Trainer/jockey combination are just 4-115.
Winner of three races here in 2015 and added to her tally when scoring at Epsom last season. Went down by a short-head on seasonal debut in 2016 so merits consideration for this
Successful three times for John Quinn and went well over C&D on debut for current handler. Has failed to trouble the judge since and is hard to recommend as a result.

Fit For The Job is an intriguing runner on this on his first run for a new yard. His Irish form puts him in here on a potentially lucrative mark if his head is in the right place having lost his way somewhat in 2016. A change of scenery may have a positive effect and he is one to observe in the market. Ravenhoe scored when brought back down to this trip last time. Having scored at Pontefract and Beverley there must be doubts this easier track will present enough of a test. OVERHAUGH STREET shaped well on his debut for his new handler at Newcastle and he has less mileage than his rivals. His yard have an excellent record here and this looks an ideal opportunity to open his account given the likelihood of further improvement. Carpe Diem Lady is still seeking her first win. She is feared with her yard showing signs of hitting form but her handicap mark continues to leave her vulnerable to better handicapped horses such as our selection here. Tripartite tackles this trip for a second time and he could be a surprise package if proving he gets the extra furlong.
