9st 4lb

J: Ben Ffrench Davis

T: Kathy Turner

Goes well round here and showed a good attitude when gaining a second C&D victory in 12-runner handicap 20 days ago; not taken lightly despite a 4lb rise.

9st 13lb

J: Charlie Tucker

T: Kathy Turner

Usually apprentice ridden; Wolverhampton isn't the only place he's run well but he has a solid record here, including two of his three wins, and should be in the shake-up.

J: Laura Coughlan

T: Kathy Turner

Two of his three wins have come here (9.5f/7f), the latest in March; ran with credit when fourth of ten at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last time and he makes the shortlist.

9st 7lb

J: Ben Ffrench Davis

T: Kathy Turner

Turf and dual Tapeta winner who justified favouritism with a narrow success at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he flopped at Bath (1m, firm) last time and needs to bounce back after that heavy defeat.

The Dark Baron

9st 11lb

J: Laura Coughlan

T: Kathy Turner

Course winner (1m2f, good to soft) last September and he has made good progress since, adding two AW successes (9.4f/7f) to his tally; close third over C&D last month (good ground) but not in the same form at Kempton three weeks ago; can't ignore if as effective on today's faster ground.
