J: David Nolan

T: Donald McCain

Third in two novices (1m2f, good to soft) for Brian Meehan as a 2yo, but has shown nothing in four starts over hurdles for this yard; return to the Flat may help, but risky all the same.

J: William Maggs

T: Donald McCain

Well beaten on all three hurdling starts for new stable this year but displayed clear promise when third on both Flat runs last summer and may yet transfer some of that ability to this discipline; sports first-time cheekpieces for this handicap debut.

Billy Bathgate

10st 0lb

J: Jason Hart

T: Ewan Whillans

His six wins, including two here, have all been gained over further; won at Redcar (2m) on his penultimate start and his latest fifth over 1m6f wasn't a bad effort; this is winnable if he handles the drop back in trip.

Billy Bathgate

9st 8lb

J: David Nolan

T: Ewan Whillans

Beat his three rivals fairly comfortably when back on turf here (2m, good to firm) three weeks ago and is evidently in good nick but a recent 4lb rise might be enough to leave this 10yo vulnerable.

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: James Horton

No real impact in 1m2f/1m3f handicaps following break/gelding operation then ran poorly in first-time headgear (blinkers) over 1m4f; less severe headgear goes on here and he'll likely encounter genuine fast ground for the first time.

J: George Wood

Improved in last season's novice races at about 1m but it's been a low-key start in handicaps, at 1m2f and 1m3f; trainer turns to blinkers for some inspiration.
