J: Billy Loughnane

T: Charlie Clover

Won a 0-50 classified event over C&D last summer and followed up in the same race 12 days ago; not always consistent and is no certainty to back it up, going without cheekpieces this time, but holds major claims under Billy Loughnane.

9st 9lb

J: Pierre-Louis Jamin

T: Charlie Clover

Pulled up over hurdles on his reappearance last month but he's a dual Flat winner and his last success was in this race (good; 5-2 favourite) last year; yard is in good form and he's an interesting contender back in this sphere; cheekpieces reapplied.

Yet to score but she posted a good second in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap and wasn't seen to best effect when sixth in 8.5f handicap there later in March; possibilities after a break.

Lapidarist

J: Taryn Langley

T: David Simcock

Seems the most exposed contender in this field, being 0-11, but ran well (close second) in 9.5f handicap at Wolverhampton most recently and holds leading form claims back down in trip.

Panthere Noir

8st 2lb

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Luke Dace

Inconsistent 15-race maiden but he was front-running third at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May and it was the same story behind a handicap blot at Epsom (1m4f, good) last time; this is a new test at this trip but he has possibilities if his stamina holds out.

0-14 but it was a solid third when 50-1 at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) on his second go for this yard last month; took a massive step backwards when beaten 35l on AW a fortnight ago, however, and he'll need to have his Windsor hat on tonight.

Tailed-off last behind Fallacious Promise over C&D a month ago; didn't see out 1m2f on turf last time but is seemingly exposed as moderate.

Has yet to finish ahead of a rival in four starts; steps up in trip on turf debut but easy to dismiss.
