Selected odds by:
Has put some disappointing performances behind recently and landed a seller before a good effort in defeat in similar grade two weeks ago. Remains feasibly treated and has to be a leading contender.
Both wins have come over C&D, the latest coming in October off 1lb lower than today. Cannot always be relied upon if called upon to battle, but mark is feasible and yard are in form.
Without a win since June 2016 but mark is becoming increasing attractive. Good performance on comeback last month and he generally improves for a run.
Landed a weak class four contest on easy ground last summer for Richard Fahey. Well held since and still to prove himself on AW surfaces.
C&D winner in December 2016 but improved on that when tackling middle-distances last year. Likely to need this after six months off and both wins have been in a lower grade
Improved to win two of her last three including one over C&D. Given a break following a narrow win at Yarmouth in October and more to do off 5lb higher having been absent since.
Has landed four races off marks in the 57-61 range. The last three have come over further and latest effort suggests he has his work cut out from his current rating.
12-race maiden who has tried different trips and tactics. Has been given a break since a poor run last time, but it is usually a negative sign when his sire's stock wear headgear and go this long without winning.
Soft ground 6f maiden winner at Catterick in October 2016. Lightly raced since and yet to build on that performance.

Newmarket Warrior (3/1), Abushamah (7/2), Al Khan (7/2), Sir Gnet (6/1), Swansway (8/1), Kilbaha Lady (12/1), Natajack (16/1), Metronomic (25/1), Hernando Torres (50/1), Man Of Verve (80/1)
There was support for ABUSHAMAH last time despite his modest record when fresh. Although he was beaten there were positives to take from the performance and this may take little winning. Al Khan has been in good form lately and Newmarket Warrior is weighted to be thereabouts. Kilbaha Lady may need the run and Sir Gnet is proving poor value for his €275,000 purchase price.
