Mission Command
Won twice over 5f last season; never in the hunt at Chester on his return to action ten days ago; eased in class but still to prove as effective at this trip.

Balzarini
5f win at Windsor for Stuart Williams last summer; looked to find that trip inadequate back from a break (stable debut) at Thirsk last month; doesn't look obviously well handicapped.

Mythical Composer
Shaped okay at Southwell behind a runaway winner on his return to action three weeks ago; this is a lower grade and he could come on for the run; not discounted.

Cayman Tai
Ran well at Pontefract on last month's reappearance but he failed to back it up at Newmarket eight days later; this is a drop in class and he won't mind getting back on faster ground; each-way shout.

Tawasol
Chased home a notable opponent at Wolverhampton in December (7f); beaten at odds-on at Catterick on his return to action but he made no mistake dropped to 6f at Brighton 18 days ago; more on his plate in a handicap but could well have more to offer.

Alpha Magic
Sprung a 40-1 surprise in a Thirsk novice last summer (6f, good to soft); better form when a close third in a hot C&D novice three weeks ago; still unexposed and he's a strong contender.

Lord Roxby
5f win at Beverley last summer; promising fourth at Ripon on his seasonal return (solid form); this looks deeper but he's not fully exposed.

- Dothan
- Callum Rodriguez / E Bethell

9/2 |
Dothan
Improved with each 2yo run and he made a winning handicap debut here (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago, taking a while to pick up but strong in the final furlong; return to 6f should be fine and he's a key player despite the 2lb rise.

Ay Gee Ell
Ran as well as he ever has when second of five in a Hamilton novice (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; should be fine back at 6f but this looks competitive.

McIntosh
Couldn't cope with Rare Change at Windsor 12 days ago (6f, good to firm) but that form was given a big boost at York on Wednesday; cheekpieces now added; shortlisted.

Dark Rosa
6f maiden win for George Boughey in September (good to soft); ran well on her stable debut over C&D three weeks ago; more on her plate taking on male opponents but clearly on a competitive mark.
