9st 11lb

J: P J McDonald

T: James Tate

Talented on AW and had more in hand than the narrow winning margin suggests when arriving late on the scene at Wolverhampton (about 1m) in November; was carried out of his ground when starting a forward move over C&D (good to firm) recently and has to be of interest in this lower grade.

J: Dylan Hogan

T: James Tate

Has looked quirky on occasions but he produced a decidedly useful effort when coming with a strong run to get up late in 8.6f Wolverhampton handicap in November; matched that form when a close third there on reappearance six weeks ago; won a fast-ground novice on turf last year (also second here on debut); one of two solid contenders for James Tate.

9st 5lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: James Tate

Has looked quirky on occasions but he came wide and late for a short-head win (from Zryan) over C&D on latest outing, making it three wins from six starts; off 132 days since but raised just 3lb and needs major attention as one of the least exposed runners in this line-up.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: James Tate

Won over 7f here and at Wetherby (good to firm) earlier in the year, but pulled his chance away on handicap debut at Sandown (7f, good to firm) in July; off 80 days and will need to settle better if he is to see out the extra furlong on his return.

J: Ryan Moore

T: James Tate

Promising 7f colt who justified favouritism in Wetherby novice event (good to firm) most recently, defying a penalty for his impressive AW win and taking record to 211; the type to progress further and do well in handicaps; shortlisted.

9/4
