7/2 |
Billy McGarry
C&D winner just under a year ago and comes into this on a hat-trick after two wins at Southwell (1m, Tapeta), the latest a narrow success under Andrea Pinna 11 days ago; up another 2lb and although his wide draw isn't ideal, he has to be respected in his current mood.

6/1 |
Wyvern
Course winner (6f) who is usually seen at Newcastle these days; still 1lb lower than when winning there (1m, Tapeta) in November, but his form has been patchy in the meantime so not quite sure what to expect; cheekpieces return.

5/1 |
Enzos Angel
Both wins have come over 9.5f here, the latest in a 0-50 classified event (first-time cheekpieces) in January; dropping back in trip may no bad thing given he took a keen hold last time and should be thereabouts.

- C Horgan / P D Niven

14/1 |
Northbound
Made a winning return from six months off at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in February, but not built on it in three outings since; edging back down the weights but needs to find a bit more.

4/1 |
Dappled Light
Two wins last year, the latest a narrow success off 3lb lower here (9.5f) in October; off six months since, but he has won fresh in the past and the drop in trip shouldn't be an issue; shortlisted.

17/2 |
King of The Dance
In good form over C&D late last month having dropped in the weights, winning a handicap and finishing a close third of 11 under a penalty in a 0-50 classified event four days later; another big run seems likely.

- Olympic Quest
- Ethan Jones / Joe Ponting

33/1 |
Olympic Quest
Form has been up and down since winning over C&D from 2lb higher early last year; went close off this mark over 9.5f back here in October, but twice well held since; drawn widest and opposable on balance.

- Genta
- Alfie Redman / Alice Haynes

|
16/1 |
Genta
Eight-race maiden who showed some promise in his first four starts last autumn, but hasn't built on it (cheekpieces made little difference last time); best watched for now.

- Gatsby Cap
- Jack Nicholls / J C McConnell

10/1 |
Gatsby Cap
Has regressed since winning twice at Dundalk (1m, Polytrack) early last year, but is now 5lb lower than for the most recent and his respected Irish stable is 2-2 here this month; major player, all the more so if backed.

Rebel Cove
Well held in three AW novices, the first two over 7f here and the latest on debut for this yard; major improvement needed on handicap debut; stable also runs Juan Cool Dude.

Juan Cool Dude
0-10, but by far his best effort came when narrowly beaten over C&D last October; each-way claims if able to repeat that back from 168 days off.

- Mikkel Mortensen / S Dixon

25/1 |
Mykonos St John
Three-time winner over C&D including twice in the autumn; 9lb lower than for the most recent, but he will need to improve on recent efforts if he is to take advantage; first-time blinkers replace the usual visor.
