Escapeandevade
Won his final three starts last season, the last two coming over C&D; he hasn't been in the same form this season, including here, but can't be written off having dropped to a dangerous mark.

Gold Des Bois
11yo who was pulled up over 2m4f at Musselburgh in January last time but this three-time C&D winner is back over his optimum trip at his favourite track today; could bounce back with a very bold show.

Lively Citizen
Reverted to fences with a win at Ayr in January; a lesser run followed when fourth of six there last month but perhaps the first-time tongue-tie will help this afternoon and he's not ruled out.

Bollingerandkrug
10yo who has a regressive profile; however, this six-time course winner hasn't run badly here the last twice, most recently three weeks ago after a break, and continues to drop down the weights; possible player.

Duty Calls
Two-time course winner, including this race two years ago; also scored here last March and is well treated on that form, but this 12yo has been pulled up or well beaten on his four outings since; major turnaround required.

Flash Du Pistolet
Made all at Newcastle (2m4f, good) this month to get off the mark at the seventh attempt over fences; had something to spare and there can be optimism he'll be fine now back down in trip; respected up 6lb.
