6/1 |
Novak
Sent off 33-1 when back to winning form over C&D on New Year's Day with Wee Fat Mac back in third and Showtime Mahomes sixth; 4lb higher and wouldn't be certain to back up that performance.

Beale Street
Dual C&D winner late last year and although only fifth of 11 here last time, he still ran well under a prominent ride given that the first four were all held up; respected.

Muscika
Admirable veteran who has been running with credit lately, but losing run up to 16 and he may again find one or two of these too strong.

7/2 |
Showtime Mahomes
Looked unlucky when a close third (Beale Street behind) over C&D on his penultimate start, but only sixth of 12 (behind two of these) when sent off favourite back here ten days ago; may not have been racing on the favoured part of the track and could bounce back.

9/2 |
Jackson Street
Finished strongly to make it 16th-time lucky over C&D early last month, but was beaten over 6l into ninth of 11 behind Beale Street back here a fortnight later; needs to put that effort behind him.

4/1 |
Wee Fat Mac
Three-time course winner (two at this trip) who has been running consistently well in defeat, as when beaten just over a length into third of 12 over C&D ten days ago; should go well again but a losing run of 18 does raise questions.
