Selected odds by:
Current mark looks feasible judged on her Chelmsford second. Two runs on turf since cast doubts as to whether she is as good as that run indicates. Stable have been quieter of late and others have more compelling claims.
Attracted support for a weak Beverley maiden last week. Steps back up to 1m2f for this and continues to appear as a work in progress.
Winner of a poor race at Musselburgh and has dropped in the weights after two runs this year on easy ground. Both those efforts came over a mile and he is bred to be better suited by this longer trip. Stable have taken two of the last three runnings of this.
Remains a maiden after six starts and hard to argue her current mark is attractive. In form rider booked and cheekpieces go on.
Modest improvement in first time cheekpieces last time but still soundly beaten. Aids removed here and yard in form but still has plenty to prove.
Is looking more moderate with each run at present. Forcing tactics have not paid off lately and it is doubtful he has the pace to come from behind. Hard to know where connections go from here.
Has failed to mount a serious challenge in any of his races and steps up to 1m2f after looking short of pace to compete over shorter. Dam won over 1m3f so there are reasons to be optimistic.
Form has deteriorated with each run over a variety of distances. Tackles another new trip having dropped to 6f last time. Headgear configuration suggests he is not straightforward and that allied to his form makes him hard to recommend.
Supported on his last two starts at Chepstow over 1m and 1m4f. Last victory came over this trip from a higher mark. Yard had a double in midweek and, if there is further compelling proof their horses are returning to form, he would be one of the more likely contenders to take this.
Left William Jarvis after finishing 11th of 12 six months ago. Has first start for new yard and has plenty to prove.
Poor maiden who has failed to progress with each run. Steps up in trip on handicap debut with cheekpieces fitted. Stable have had a couple of winners lately but still hard to see this one springing a surprise.

Scots Piper (3/1), Vigee Le Brun (7/2), Daily Trader (11/2), Aelius (7/1), Zehrah (15/2), Delannoy (8/1), William Booth (9/1), Dr Goodhead (20/1), Bianca Minola (20/1), Marettimo (25/1), Justice Frederick (50/1), Aqshion Stations (50/1), Striking For Gold (50/1)
This may be a good opportunity for SCOTS PIPER to land his first race of the campaign. The form of his Musselburgh victory amounts to little but he ran well enough at Ripon last time to earn respect in a race as weak as this. His pedigree indicates this longer trip will yield some improvement. Daily Trader returns to his last winning trip since and off a lower mark. William Booth was supported at Beverley last week and looks the best of the rest.
