Although he was a beaten favourite last Saturday on his debut for astute new connections, top rated DASH GORDON looks well worth another chance. Hi Hoh Tonto (second choice) and Trulie Good warrant respect back over 5f, while the latter's stablemate Liv Lucky and distance-dropper Magic Fluke also enter calculations.[Steve Boow]

Beaten favourite in similar event at Newcastle (5f) four days ago on debut for shrewd new connections but wasn't disgraced and may yet add to his October AW success, which preceded wind surgery (now goes in tongue-tie); top on ratings and remains an unexposed sort in this sphere.
Absent since failing to get home over 6f here (started favourite) two months ago; consistent at about 5f otherwise during his spell with Matt Crawley; 0-14 but has possibilities back down in distance on debut for a fourth stable.
Successful in C&D handicap in September; far from consistent otherwise in the last 12 months and AW record is just 1-27 but she's one of the bigger players on these terms, granted a return to form.
Record is 1-16; back in better form of late; front-running fifth in 6f classified contest here most recently, shaping as if this drop in distance is worth exploring; could go well.
Veteran who is a six-time AW scorer; out of the money in a couple of classified events this month, however, and needs to raise his game; cheekpieces reapplied for first time since 2022.
C&D winner in 2022 for previous yard, then had a long absence; far from solid on his form for current stable; chance partly depends on how well he responds to added cheekpieces.
Something to find on recent handicap form; won his last attempt at classified level but is by no means certain to repeat the trick, with strike-rate just 1-55.
Opened her account in similar event over C&D last February and that career-best performance was her most recent 5f attempt (held over 6f since); interesting back at this trip.
Ten-time AW winner, most recently last July; out of sorts since, however, and failed to beat a rival last time; opposed, assuming he isn't about to revive in a big way.
