Selected odds by:
One from four over C&D with the sole win coming in March off a 7lb lower mark. Possibly needed the run when fifth of 14 beaten 2½L last month following a 203 day break. Can be expected to be involved at the finish.
All career wins gained on turf but has hit the frame on three occasions from four starts over C&D including a short-head defeat behind Ty Rock Brandy earlier this month. Should be among the leading players.
Won a 7f handicap here by ½L on AW debut at odds of 40/1 off a 6lb lower mark in November. Ran well in defeat next time out but not seen for four months and takes a drastic drop in trip on return.
Without a win in six starts over C&D but has hit the frame on four occasions including earlier this month when finishing a dead-heat second of 12 behind Ty Rock Brandy with Haqeeba. Can go well from a decent draw.
Nothing of note in five dour career starts to date and first time blinkers failed to bring about any hint of improvement when beaten over 9L over 6f last month. Drop in trip not expected to suit.
Venue stalwart winner of three of his 32 starts here. Not disgraced in a number of starts here over the winter. Worth a market check on first start over 5f.
Nothing of note in a number of largely disappointing starts since joining connections in July after failing to make the track for William Haggas. Others have more scope for improvement.
11-race maiden who has not been disgraced in a number of starts since August, though has failed to make any sort of impression in three starts at the track. Negative draw doesn't help his cause.
Three-time winner over this trip though all three have come on turf and the mare is now racing 11lb lower than last winning mark. Not seen since October and likely to need the run back on return.

Ar Saoirse (9/4), Blastofmagic (7/2), Haqeeba (5/1), Pavlichenko (7/1), Bahlwan (10/1), Three Majors (10/1), Paved Paradise (12/1), Sweetest Taboo (16/1), Kris Black (16/1), Town Ranger (20/1)
There was nothing between the Liam Lennon-trained Haqeeba and David Marnanes' Pastoral Pursuits gelding, AR SAOIRSE last week as the pair dead-heated for the runner up spot behind Ty Rock Brandy. The four-year-old can make the most of the more positive draw and 6lb to land the spoils here. Top weight Blastofmagic and Three Majors look the best of the rest.
