Selected odds by:
Useful ex-French 6f winner for Francis-Henri Graffard. Changed hands for €40,000 and made a solid start for new yard when third in stronger C&D handicap last month. Poor at Newbury next time but down in class with blinkers back on now.
|
Debut winner at Naas (6f) in October 2021. Little impact in 3 runs last year and probably still high enough in the weights starting out for David O'Meara.
|
Not scored since 2020 and hard to catch right but may come on for his Musselburgh return for new yard and lurks on a good mark in re-fitted headgear.
|
Returned to form when winning at Pontefract in October and struck again at Catterick (6f, soft) last month. Found Chester a lot tougher last week but has struck here before.
|
C&D winner who struck at Kempton in March. Not so good back on turf the last twice and others preferred.
|
Has won twice over 6f at Newcastle this year. Held the last twice though and needs to show more back on turf now.
|
Little impression first 2 starts this season but his last 2 turf wins came in C&D handicaps last summer on quickish ground.
|
Has won twice at Newcastle for current connections and shaped well having been gambled on there (7f) a fortnight ago, caught both further back than ideal and furthest away from the pair that beat him. Dual turf winner and respected off the same mark.
|
Won twice at Wolverhampton last season for Alice Haynes. Well held on first start for new yard at Kempton in January and needs more back on turf after a wind op.
|
Course winner who struck at Newcastle last summer. Well beaten on return at Thirsk a fortnight ago under this rider but could offer more now.
|
All his wins have come over 5f. Shaped well enough at Ripon (6f) last week but would make more appeal over the shorter trip and with headgear on.
|
Plenty of good runs (including 2 victories) here and went through the race much better as he resumed winning ways in decisive fashion at Ayr (6f) 12 days ago. More needed now after 5 lb rise.
|
Won twice in France in 2021. Not shown much for current yard this year but her mark continues to tumble. Cheekpieces go on.
|
5f maiden winner in Ireland for Michael O'Callaghan and still retains a good portion of his ability judged on his recent Pontefract run. Becoming very well handicapped.
|
Won 6f handicaps at Nottingham and Thirsk last May. Promise this year and capable of a big run.
|
Perfect start for new yard at Kempton (6f) in January and best run since when second at Haydock 3 weeks ago, unable to get to grips with a rival who's in top form. Up in grade but couldn't dismiss.

STREAK LIGHTNING shaped well at Newcastle a fortnight ago and could be worth chancing off the same mark down in trip back on turf. Live In The Moment and As If By Chance are a couple of others to consider in a big-field competitive handicap.
