9/2 |
Abduction
Three-time C&D winner; yet to strike during largely disappointing campaign this season but is too well handicapped to rule out and might be boosted by the refitted visor.

Mereside Diva
Did well in the spring, winning twice over 7f, but has suffered a dip in form in recent weeks (albeit with some mitigating circumstances); arrives here with a point to prove.

- Desert Falcon
- O Mcsweeney / Miss J A Camacho

4/1 |
Desert Falcon
Has worked his way back to form for new stable this season and travelled well before asserting at Thirsk (7f, good) a fortnight ago; could still be well handicapped after recent 4lb rise, and Oisin McSweeney claims a useful 3lb here.

17/2 |
Abruzzo Mia
Kept on gamely for narrow win at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) in July but was below form after racing too freely at at Carlisle last month and probably needs a career-best performance here.

- Modern Times
- A Mullen / I Jardine

12/1 |
Modern Times
Well beaten when dropped to 6f at York a fortnight ago and now 0-7 but he's better judged on his keeping-on second off today's mark at Thirsk (7f, good) two starts ago; has not been with Iain Jardine long and can feature if this race is run to suit his usual patient tactics.

Chuzzlewit
Not firing on all cylinders on turf since AW win in first-time blinkers in March but now 12lb below that mark and, after one run without headgear, it's possible he'll be perked up by refitted cheekpieces.

- D Allan / T D Easterby

9/1 |
Vince Le Prince
Dual 7f winner this season; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but posted good effort when third to Desert Falcon at Thirsk (7f, good) a fortnight ago and can make his presence felt again.

- Billy Garritty / R A Fahey

8/1 |
Cloudy Skye
Enjoyed the run of the race when making all to open account at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in July but was placed off new mark on Tapeta (8.6f) recently and has possibilities here if the drop back to 7f suits.

- Detective
- Connor Murtagh / Mrs Dianne Sayer

40/1 |
Detective
Veteran who is best known for his heroics on the stiff track at Carlisle; won there when dropped back to 7f last month but ought to have coped better with the soft ground when well beaten on last two outings.

- Starliner
- K Stott / Miss L A Perratt

82
|
28/1 |
Starliner
Well handicapped on Irish form but has not shown a great deal since joining current stable in the summer; raced far too freely in blinkers on last three appearances and may benefit from removal of that headgear today.

- Pals Battalion
- D Tudhope / D O'meara

|
10/1 |
Pals Battalion
Kept on well for second at Leicester (6f, soft) recently and remains on a good mark; his tendency to race freely is a nagging concern on this first 7f attempt but, nevertheless, he enters calculations.

- Alpine Sierra
- Amie Waugh / J S Goldie

|
10/1 |
Alpine Sierra
Yet to win this season and his last two runs were below par but he's suited by this C&D and has slipped to a workable mark.
