Red Mirage
Has won first time out in four of his five seasons, including when landing this race off a 3lb higher mark last spring; that came under Jason Hart from a similar draw and there's a decent chance he makes it five from six.

Animate
Struggled last year, aside from a 6f win here off a similar mark in June; confirmed his liking for the course when hitting traffic and making a pleasing comeback a fortnight ago, and won't mind going back up to 7f (likely to be dropped in again from stall ten).

Speeding Bullet
Decent 2yo for Richard Hannon who proved hard to place last year before sold for 11,000gns in October; an easy 7f looks a bare minimum back from a break and he may need more help from the handicapper yet.

9/4 |
Capital Guarantee
Best suited by an easy, turning 7f, so has that in his favour, but he struggled last year, coming 16lb down the weights; signs of life latterly, though, and is potentially well handicapped if wind surgery since last seen seven months ago has helped.

Outrun The Storm
Often makes the running and is drawn to attack in stall 3; has been patchy at best since returning from six months off, though, and a lot will likely hinge on how things unfold early.

- Another Baar
- O McSweeney / A Keatley

5/1 |
Another Baar
Has done most of his racing in sprints and his stamina looked to give way on his 7f Leicester comeback (has won fresh before); there was plenty to like about the way he travelled for a long way, though, and today's easier course will help.

11/1 |
Jenni
Last September's win for David O'Meara came off this mark but she didn't build on it subsequently and finished well held for her new yard, having been picked up for 7,000gns, at Doncaster last month; needs much more.

14/1 |
Leap Day
Lost his way on turf in the first half of last year and returns from ten months off today; has been dropped 4lb in the interim but still wouldn't be obviously fancied from a wide stall (usually races on the sharp end).

- Misemerald
- Cam Hardie / P A Kirby

28/1 |
Misemerald
Decent 2yo who struggled last year, coming 10lb down the weights; should find life easier this time round but would want to see some support before considering her on this return from over six months off.

Petra Celera
Done a lot of her recent racing on the AW and hasn't been in much form; fared no better back on turf at Doncaster last month and is some way down the pecking order.
