Milbanke
Yet to beat a rival in two runs for new stable this year; dropped 6lb but need to see more before getting involved.

Northcliff
Now 2lb lower than when seeing off 25 rivals at Ascot last May (6f, good); he's been running creditably on AW this year and he looks one to take seriously back on turf with a visor now enlisted.

- Lewis Edmunds / Mrs R Carr

7/1 |
Jojo Rabbit
On a lower mark than for both last year's wins and his reappearance at Wolverhampton three weeks ago confirmed he retained his ability; one to consider with the run behind him.

Dark Kestrel
Slow starts often leave him a hostage to fortune and he hasn't won as often as he probably ought to have; that said, he has a lowly turf rating to exploit and this extended 5f should suit.

Yazaman
His handicap mark had dropped from 106 to 50 before he was finally able to add to his debut win (June 2020; beaten 40 times in between) at Nottingham last May; went on to complete a four-timer, including C&D, and also went close at Pontefract off this mark last October; should be sharper with his recent reappearance behind him; not discounted.

7/1 |
Willolarupi
Won two sprint handicaps last season (5f, good to firm and 6f, AW); pleasing return to action at Pontefract (5f, good) in a race where he was poorly positioned (held up in a race where nothing got into it and also made his challenge up the middle of the track); he'll need luck in running from stall 1 but he's capable of winning a similar event.

4/1 |
Glory Hyde
Shaped quite well at Doncaster on her seasonal return; backward step at Musselburgh last time but she wasn't well drawn; has quickly become well treated and she's another to consider in a wide-open handicap.

- Cuban Storm
- Connor Beasley / M Dods

12/1 |
Cuban Storm
Beat Glory Hyde by just under one length at Redcar last May (5f, good to firm) and he's 3lb better off with her today; well behind her at Thirsk on his next start though and he is returning from 227 days off.

11/2 |
Hail Sezer
Second in two of his three C&D runs and third in the other; good record fresh and he starts this campaign 5lb lower than for last May's Catterick success; everything points to a big run.

17/2 |
First Company
Just one win from 26 attempts on turf as opposed to 3-24 on AW; solid effort at Kempton last month and he does seem to go particularly well for Billy Loughnane; should go well from the front.
