- Northbound
- Callum Shepherd / P D Niven
|
|
66
|
12/1 |
Northbound
Gets away with 1m but has done most racing over 7f and can pull hard; that would be a concern coming from the outside stall over 8.7f and he'll need to be amenable early if he's to see it out.

- First Greyed
- R Havlin / T Faulkner

|
40/1 |
First Greyed
Well suited by soft/heavy ground in his days with Michael Dods; the trademark headgear is back tonight, having been absent for two runs for this yard back from a layoff, but he'll need a good step forward.

- Tonal
- Billy Loughnane / Ian Williams

9/4 |
Tonal
Absent for eight months since three defeats on the spin as favourite last spring, all in a tongue-tie; sole win came here and he's well worth monitoring in the market.
|

|
|
- Treasure Bay
- Josephine Gordon / K Burke
|
|
58
|
16/1 |
Treasure Bay
Achieved little in five runs for Mark Gillard last year; blew the break and pulled hard in a messy affair for his new yard a fortnight ago around Kempton, and is worth a market check.
|

|
|
- Light Up Our Stars
- K T O'neill / S Dixon
|
|
69
|
8/1 |
Light Up Our Stars
Has tended to do his winning in batches in the past and gave hope over C&D last time; is getting on and hard to catch right now but he's well handicapped if building on that.

- Venetian
- S P Davis / Sean Davis
|
|
67
|
6/1 |
Venetian
C&D winner for the Johnston yard as a 2yo who started favourite for a couple of Irish turf handicaps early last summer; has gone well fresh before and is one of the more interesting runners.
|
|
|
|
- Miss Dandylion
- Saffie Osborne / J A Osborne
|
|
69
|
10/1 |
Miss Dandylion
Regressive maiden who's often missed the break, including in blinkers the past tiwce; surely has the ability to win off this mark, down another 2lb, if getting away but obviously comes with risks.
|
|
|
|
- Night Arc
- William Carver / B R Johnson
|
|
66
|
8/1 |
Night Arc
Regressive for Richard Hannon and has continued the slide for his current yard; did offer a bit more in a messy affair last time, though, and is used to plying his trade in better company.
|
|
|
|
- Back From Dubai
- Lewis Edmunds / S R Bowring
|
|
67
|
16/1 |
Back From Dubai
Typically inconsistent since returning to his former yard; won't mind coming back down in trip but it's hard to know what to expect as always.
|
|
|
|
- Kessaar Power
- L Morris / P S Mcentee
|
|

|
16/1 |
Kessaar Power
Best known for his Chelmsford work and returned to form there last time, back from a couple of months off; his record on Tapeta is patchy however.
|
|
|
|
- Boujee Gold
- Marco Ghiani / A W Carroll
|
|
68
|
6/1 |
Boujee Gold
Dual C&D winner who often misses the break and is usually dropped in, so will need some luck from a wide stall; otherwise she bounced back from a lesser effort around Chelmsford over the weekend.
|
|
|
|
- Vecchio
- D Swift / S Dixon
|
|
72
|
22/1 |
Vecchio
Longstanding, regressive maiden who again blew the start in a 0-50 classified event over C&D last time; Light Up Our Stars looks his yard's best chance.
