Brewing
Took Harry Burns's record for William Haggas to 6-13 (now 6-14) when winning here off a 2lb lower mark in January (first-time tongue-tie); that made it 3-3 over C&D, all in small fields, and he holds decent claims again.

Nikovo
Wins have all come over 1m and he's having a first crack at this shorter trip; is usually dropped in and will need things to fall his way in a small field off a mark this high (3lb higher than when winning here late last year).

7/1 |
Catch The Paddy
Lost his way for Kevin Ryan but has bounced back round Dundalk this winter, often making the running; ran well on his only previous start on Tapeta (here) and will be dangerous if allowed to dictate back down from 1m.

4/1 |
William Dewhirst
Took his record over C&D to five wins and a second from seven starts when going in last Thursday; made all that night but is adaptable as regards tactics and, while this is tougher under a 5lb penalty, he enters calculations.

17/2 |
Lady Flora
Outsider of six for her comeback from almost six months off at Kempton three weeks ago, when shaping nicely; her best efforts have come over 1m, often under aggressive rides, and she'll likely have plenty of use made of her on her Tapeta debut.

Enola Grey
Dual course winner who was at her best this time last year but who's managed just one win from 19 starts since; is closely matched with Brewing on C&D running in January but will need to improve on her latest Southwell effort.

9/1 |
Lir Speciale
Tumbled down the weights for Stuart Williams before being picked up for 7,000gns a month ago; a solid Southwell effort ten days ago suggests the change of scenery has helped and he's well handicapped if backing that up.
