9st 4lb

J: David Allan

T: Tim Easterby

He's won just one of his last 23 starts and has failed to fire on his last two outings; however, he had a tough assignment in the John Smith's Cup at York last Saturday and he's dropped to a handy mark; runner-up to the 4-7 favourite in this race last year and he's not ruled out.

8st 6lb

J: Duran Fentiman

T: Tim Easterby

Some good C&D form, beaten just a neck in a big field last August (good to firm) and fourth of 16 two starts ago (good); he has an each-way squeak if he's on song but that wasn't the case at Newcastle last time (slowly away) and he's won just one of his last 22 starts.

8st 9lb

J: David Allan

T: Tim Easterby

His 2-3 AW record includes a comfortable C&D win off only 1lb lower last September; arrives on the back of two good efforts in strong turf handicaps and a bold bid looks assured now back on AW.

J: David Allan

T: Tim Easterby

He went very close in 15-runner handicap over C&D (good to firm) at the Ebor meeting in August and secured the latest of his four wins when bagging 1m2f AW handicap five weeks later; solid effort when keeping-on third of 12 at Carlisle (1m3f) a fortnight ago and he should be on the premises.

8st 10lb

J: Sean Kirrane

T: Tim Easterby

Won off 2lb lower at Newcastle last autumn but hasn't repeated the form and slow starts are becoming a habit; needs to get back on track.
