Dark Kestrel
Successful over C&D (off 3lb lower) in October on most recent Class 5 attempt; generally consistent in higher grades since; solid claims back at this level.

Our Absent Friends
Scored twice over C&D early in career; largely consistent at this track since returned to AW, respectable third most recently; frame possibilities.

Castan
Record of 6-33 overall; two from two since wearing cheekpieces and registered the latest success over C&D, making all; respected in the retained headgear.

Above
Consistent form this winter features a C&D win but that's his only AW success since 2021; now takes on some rivals who have better recent strike-rates.

Leodis Dream
Front-runner who is 4-24 on AW, the most recent success over C&D in October; solid third here this month on reappearance; fighting chance.

General Assembly
Sole attempt over 5f resulted in his only win (in turf maiden); interesting off a reduced mark returned to this trip on second start for new stable.

Match Play
Still seeking first AW win but ran respectably over C&D this month on reappearance; possibilities off a workable mark, provided he builds on that effort.

9/2 |
Maharajas Express
Record of 24411, all at Wolverhampton, this year for new yard; incurs 5lb penalty for narrow win (5f) on Monday but has to be feared in current form.

Golden Rainbow
Four-time C&D winner, albeit in Class 6; down the field in this grade two weeks ago on reappearance and doesn't look the percentage call.

Oriental Prince
Form figures of 1121, all at Newcastle, since wearing a hood; could improve further in the retained headgear; shortlisted on return from seven-week break.
