12/1 |
Alligator Alley
Has some high-class sprint form down the years, including over C&D; has left David O'Meara since last seen; has an absence to overcome but the booking of Billy Loughnane (four wins and four seconds from 15 rides for the yard) is a strong hint he's ready to go.

Zarzyni
Talented sprinter but hard to win with and meeting some trouble in running probably wasn't a bad thing when winning at Musselburgh last September; well beaten at Wolverhampton one month later; can go well fresh and he holds each-way claims.

Monks Dream
Back on song returned to AW this winter, second in handicaps over 6f and 5f here on his last two starts; 1lb ahead of the handicapper and he should remain competitive.

- Castan
- P Mulrennan / B Smart

10/3 |
Castan
3-3 since cheekpieces were added and he was more dominant here two weeks ago than the winning margin might indicate; 2lb rise manageable and he's high on the list.

- Dark Kestrel
- Cam Hardie / A Brittain

Dark Kestrel
Hold-up sprinter; on a competitive mark and conditions aren't a problem but he will need the leaders coming back to him to win.

- Our Absent Friends
- Jason Hart / T Davidson

10/1 |
Our Absent Friends
Only seventh behind Castan over C&D two weeks ago; 4lb better off with that rival but others have more pressing claims.

- Rhys Elliott / M Dods

9/1 |
King's Crown
Two wins this year, the latest over C&D 12 days ago; that was a small-field Class 6, however, and he has more on his plate up 5lb against stronger opposition.

Herakles
Chased home Dark Kestrel over C&D last October but disappointing back here two weeks later; others preferred for win purposes.
