Won at Wetherby in January and close second at Hexham recently; strong claims once more

Third at Ayr last month and that race has worked out really well; possible contender

Pulled up just ten days ago but may have needed the run and he's not written off

Stayed on well over 2m4f at Market Rasen latest and today's test of stamina could be ideal

Down the field the last twice but the return to testing ground may suit; not ruled out

Mid-division at Ayr last month in her second handicap; others are more compelling

3-time heavy-ground course winner but this 14yo is hard to fancy from 9lb out of handicap
