- Russian Virtue
- Joshua Thompson / D Thompson
|
|
|
20/1 |
Russian Virtue
Has an excellent strike-rate of 6-16 over hurdles and only faded away late in the day at Carlisle four weeks ago (soft); this drier ground should work in his favour and one to consider.
|

|
- Bathgate
- Joe Williamson / P A Kirby
|
|
|
7/2 |
Bathgate
Consistent gelding who is climbing the weights but it was another good run behind one in form at Catterick three weeks ago; in the mix.
|
|
|
- The Grafter
- Jonathan England / S England
|
|
|
9/4 |
The Grafter
Has finished runner-up in all three handicaps, the latest at Bangor after a wind operation; off an untouched mark he should be bang there.

- Rewired
- Harry Reed / T Davidson
|
|
|
7/1 |
Rewired
Won off 13lb higher just over a year ago but has been finding it tough going of late and needs a major revival.
|
|
|
- Travis Wheatley
- Danny Mcmenamin / B Ellison
|
|
|
7/2 |
Travis Wheatley
Won a British point and then runner-up in a bumper; has come up against some useful horses in novices and he's an interesting newcomer to handicaps.

- Rory The Cat
- D R Fox / Miss Lucinda V Russell

22/1 |
Rory The Cat
Capable Flat stayer but last month's return to hurdling was forgettable, finishing tailed off at Musselburgh when 33-1.

- Galahad Threepwood
- Craig Nichol / Ewan Whillans

|
10/1 |
Galahad Threepwood
0-10 under both codes since leaving Ben Pauling; was placed here in January but in a Class 5 and struggled at this level last time (longer trip was no excuse).
|

- Fostered Phil
- B S Hughes / J Ewart
|
|
|
15/2 |
Fostered Phil
Lightly raced 11yo; had a wind op during a long absence before returning with a 7l third at Musselburgh (good to soft); clear claims if he can build on that but there are doubts in that respect.
|
|
|
- Old But Gold
- Henry Brooke / M Todhunter
|
|
|
14/1 |
Old But Gold
Runner-up in Irish point and latest maiden run wasn't too bad at all behind promising winner; could have improvement lurking on handicap debut.
