|
6/1 |
Lechuga Lad
Started a short price on his debut late last year, only to disappoint; has been inclined to pull hard in two runs in a hood since and will need to be more amenable now upped in trip without headgear; his yard's been among the winners though.

3/1 |
Finn Russell
Not the most consistent but boasts a good record here, landing his third win off 2lb lower over C&D late last year; pulled away his chances (as so often) when a beaten-favourite a month ago and much will depend on how he settles early.

6/4 |
Kaaranah
Run well in three starts back from an absence this winter but has been beaten at short prices each time and pays for his consistency (2lb higher than when last winning 18 months ago); will be happier back up from 1m and should go well again.

- Masqool

11/4 |
Masqool
Dual C&D winner for Joe Leavy around the turn of the year who ran to at least the same level here last time (winner gone in again since; hard-pulling favourite Finn Russell last); there's no obvious reason he won't get involved.

- English Spirit
- J Mitchell / H Main

11/4 |
English Spirit
Rarely runs poorly round here (five-time course winner) and is closely matched with Masqool on latest C&D running; is straightforward and will be rightly popular.

- Golspie
- Paddy Bradley / P Morris

|
15/2 |
Golspie
Winless since his 3yo debut but he's found his level again and a case could be made on his latest C&D effort (behind two of these) if things pan out better this evening.

- Prince Ali
- R Havlin / T Faulkner

|
14/1 |
Prince Ali
Serial hard-puller who's won twice here in recent times for Zoe Lewis, latterly off 2lb lower; is adaptable regarding trip but will need to improve on his latest C&D effort.

22/1 |
Cryptos Dream
Five wins since coming over from Ireland have come in 0-55 company, latterly over C&D off a 2lb lower mark last November (Jack Doughty was claiming 5lb at that time); hasn't been in the same form since.
