9st 11lb

J: Pierre-Louis Jamin

T: K R Burke

Has been unable to sustain his early progress, most recently out of the money when a 20-1 shot in the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton; needs to raise his game.

8st 10lb

J: Jack Nicholls

T: K R Burke

Free-going sort who has won two of his six starts; should be sharper with last month's Southwell reappearance behind him and still has some potential.

9st 7lb

J: Sam James

T: K R Burke

Made it 2-2 in a C&D novice in August and wasn't disgraced in two Class 2 handicaps before producing his worst performance yet last time at Newcastle; if forgiven that, and it was three months ago, then he's not without hope.

9st 10lb

J: Shane Gray

T: K R Burke

Very lightly raced 4yo who faded into seventh over 7f on soft ground at Doncaster last time but posted progressive RPRs in his three starts prior to that, including AW maiden/novice wins over 7f here and 1m at Southwell; no surprise were he to resume his improvement now back on AW.

9st 1lb

J: Jack Nicholls

T: K R Burke

Thrice-raced gelding whose form comprises AW wins (7f/1m) and good second in Haydock handicap (1m, good to soft); runs off same mark with Jack Nicholls taking off a useful 5lb; respected with further improvement plausible.

9/2
