It's easy enough to pick holes in most in a weak handicap and this may be best left to COOLREE (nap), who's been threatening since returning from wind surgery and will be happier back down from the extended 1m1f. Covert Legend has the ability and maybe Rossa Ryan's the man for the job but he's very risky.[Graham Wheldon]

A couple of costly defeats for Karl Burke and offered little in one run last backend for his new yard, having been picked up for 13,000gns; 66-1, soundly beaten in the 3.55 Pontefract yesterday; this would be his AW debut.
Underwent wind surgery last month and his last two runs here have been more like it, just failing to see out 9.5f last time (switched to blinkers) having looked set to win; holds leading claims down 1lb.
Winless since his 2yo debut for Godolphin and had plenty of chances over the winter; was eased off last time and this trip on Tapeta is fine though, so he ought to fare better off a career-low mark.
Has the ability to win off this mark, back from wind surgery under Rossa Ryan (first ride for the yard; also runs Tacitus), but yet again he fluffed the start and pulled hard here last time; comes with risks attached.
Has struggled since returning from eight months off, coming 15lb down the weights; goes without headgear for the first time since her maiden days, probably more in hope than expectation.
1m4f winner here a couple of years ago who's returning from a very lengthy absence; hasn't run over this sort of trip since his 3yo days in Ireland and is passed over unless there's good support.
More than two years since he won and is nothing like as good or consistent these days; was out of form when last seen three months ago and it's been a long time since he ran without cheekpieces.
Five-time course winner who's been on the downgrade in recent times; new yard had a rare Flat winner here early in the month but she only holds each-way claims given another try in the tongue-tie.
Yard going well of late but his wins have come in the autumn and has only been seen sporadically in recent times, pulling away his chances over 7.2f here on his recent comeback.
Lost his way last backend and didn't offer much immediate hope on his comeback a month ago; Covert Legend is perhaps his yard's most interesting contender.
Longstanding maiden who can miss the break and hang left; one of his better efforts last time but has had plenty of chances in weak races and is far from certain to back it up.
