4/1
Ran on stoutly when runner-up at Windsor in June, but has proved a little disappointing in two starts since. Very possible the return to stronger handling and fitting of a visor could help her, though, and not taken lightly.

Placed twice at up to 1¼m at Nottingham and was doing his best work at the finish over 1m3f at Carlisle last time. Clearly in good heart, and should be very competitive once again.

Landed three races here last year for Chris Dwyer, including twice over C&D, but has looked a shadow of himself in three runs this year. Falling in the weights, but clearly has his problems, and hard to back with any confidence.

9/1
Only minor promise in three handicap outings to date, although raced too freely before folding in blinkers last time, and not judged harshly on that effort. Dropping to a more realistic mark, but must do more to capitalise.

9/4
Smart performer when with Richard Hannon two years ago, and although he has been disappointing for new connections, he has fallen a long way in the weights, and hinted at a revival when third at Nottingham (amateur) last time. Respected.

Likeable mare who has won three last year, including over 1m3½f here. As good as ever when second of 8 to Contingency Fee at Lingfield on belated return, and is just 1lb above her last winning mark. Shortlisted.

In a good vein of form given his basement rating, and again placed when finding All Right too strong over C&D last time. Should get involved, although beginning to creep up the weights.

Yet to find his form this season, and while he offered more when fourth at Nottingham on his penultimate outing, he followed that with a lesser effort at Windsor, and percentage call is to oppose.

Saga Sprint148
Age: 6|  Weight: 8-7| J: A McCarthy| T: J R Jenkins| OR:  45| D
100/1
Her career record isn't the most inspiring (1-21) and she has been seen in competitive action on just a single occasion since December 2017; very challenging to build a case for from out of the handicap proper.

40/1
Stepped up a bit on earlier efforts when 8L sixth of 13 in an apprentice handicap at Lingfield (7½f, firm) last time, but that is still no better than poor form, and she is hard to make a convincing case for.

A few arriving in form makes this a more interesting handicap than can be the case for the grade, but it's the well-handicapped CONTRAST who appeals most, having hinted at a revival under an inexperienced rider last time. Lily Ash and Apache Blaze are consistent types who should give their running once more, and that could be enough if the cards fall right.
