5/1 |
Ecclesiastical
Hasn't been at his best in last five starts but he wasn't beaten far from a wide draw here two weeks ago and that was after a short break; has stall one this time and he looks interesting off the same mark as for his C&D win in September.

Aces Wild
Four-time AW winner and last three were over C&D last year; still 5lb higher than for his last success in July but he's been consistent since then including a couple of close calls at this track; shouldn't be far away.

Miggy Magic
Ten-race maiden but he went close in two Southwell handicaps (5f) last month and finished runner-up again after setting a strong pace at Chelmsford last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he should be in the thick of things again.

Rosenpur
Has form figures of 22221412 since October and both wins have been gained over C&D; his last run was at 6f here last Monday when only narrowly denied and he's on the same mark on this drop back in trip; big player.

Level Up
Finished runner-up a few times since his 5f win at Salisbury (off 4lb higher) last August but he's not easy to predict and was disappointing behind Rosenpur over C&D (eight of nine) last time; bit to prove again after that and he comes with risks attached; change of headgear.

Dark Side Prince
Completed a Chelmsford hat-trick (5f) last May but he finished down the field in his final four runs last year; now 3lb lower than for last win but he needs to rediscover his spark after a short break.

Maharajas Express
Finished close up in first three runs for current yard before coming from off the pace to defy a tough draw over C&D 13 days ago; up 4lb but he remains well treated on his old form and should get a decent tow into this race; shortlisted.

Nelson Gay
Just 1-27 on turf but he recorded his sixth AW win when finishing well to score at Southwell (5f) last Saturday; still looks feasibly treated off 3lb higher here and could be a big factor again if this sets up for his closing style.

Wedgewood
Front-runner who has won twice over C&D and is on a workable mark; faded back at this track three weeks ago but she got pestered for the lead and that was after four months off; should benefit from that run and she's not ruled out.

Gustav Graves
Six-time course winner who scored over C&D last month and he's been knocking on the door on Tapeta in his last three runs; now goes back up in grade but he won this race off a higher mark last year and he's respected.
