Selected odds by:
Often plays up in the preliminaries and prove hard to settle in his races. Effectively raced off this mark last time when disqualified for his rider weighing in light. Has work to do judged on that effort but ground conditions could not be better.
Makes stable debut after a three month absence. Hard to argue he is well-handicapped and his best efforts have come on the quicker AW surfaces. Has too many questions to answer.
Recent form shows a lack of progress and the stable have been under a cloud. Acts on soft ground but remains a risk.
Did best of those racing prominently in a quick race at Chelmsford last time and should gain amends soon. Has been placed on soft ground but that form looks unreliable and he is several pounds better on AW surfaces.
Made all to beat a good field, including Weekender, at Haydock last year. Had his first run since a month ago when travelling well for a long way until the longer trip and lack of a run took their toll. Not badly treated on that juvenile form
Has faced some difficult tasks since making a winning debut here on soft ground. Appeared to be finding his level last time and a further drop in the weights makes him attractive. Cheekpieces go on and rider is 3-8 for the stable this year.
Hard to win with these days but handicapper has presented him with a chance. Would need the ground to dry out for him to capitalise on the opportunity.
Picked up a couple of lower grade races before finding this level and current mark beyond her last time. The softer the ground the better for her.
Has dropped below his last winning mark and tries this trip for the first time. Best to draw a line through his last run on bad ground over 6f. Both career wins have come on a sounder surface than expected here, but stable took this in 2012.
A tendency to hang makes him a difficult ride and he is 4lb above his last winning mark. Handles the ground but others appear more likely.
Beat a professional loser at Chester in May and has found life tougher in handicaps since. Off the track three months and unproven on soft ground.
Overcame early season health scares to score at Haydock but failed to back that up last time. Probably too keen that day and should get more opportunity to find cover here.
Forecasts
Executive Force (11/2), Trading Point (11/2), Makaarim (15/2), Redgrave (8/1), Heaven's Rock (8/1), Tamayef (8/1), Areen Heart (9/1), Plant Pot Power (10/1), Highland Pass (12/1), Fastnet Spin (12/1), Colonel Frank (16/1), Trading Punches (16/1)
A few of these would be more appealing on a sounder surface, in particular Colonel Frank and Plant Pot Power. EXECUTIVE FORCE registered his sole success here and will not mind the conditions. His mark has dropped to an attractive level and he is taken to account for Trading Point. John Quinn's charge landed a decent maiden last year and will strip much fitter for his York reappearance last month. Areen Heart is another who handles cut underfoot. He is often thereabouts without getting his head in front and it may be a similar story here.
