Captain Americo
Yet to score this season but having a solid campaign in handicaps, blinkered in finishing runner-up on heavy at Haydock and then placed over 4m1f in the Eider; mark left untouched and clearly a contender despite the burden of top weight.

Vamizi
Can't seem to get enough of Carlisle with his record there this winter 2213, beaten only narrowly off this mark last time, having gone up 5lb for a soft-ground success; change of venue the obvious drawback.

Rockabilly
Ran well on deep ground during deepest winter, late fall probably costing him victory at Ffos Las once; made amends on return from a break with clear-cut success on good ground back there 12 days ago and effectively on the same mark courtesy of his jockey's claim (up 2lb in future); just a question of whether this will come too soon.

Dove Hill
Form figures of 54054 under this jockey before reportedly benefiting from stronger handling and cheekpieces when clear-cut winner over 4m at Hexham (good to soft), though might have been second had the leader not tipped up two from home; 8lb rise could find him out.

Outlaw Tom
Strong stayer who got off the mark over fences over 4m round Hexham (soft) in November and confirmed his liking for that venue with 3m1f success there last month, where he coped surprisingly well with the better ground; only went up 3lb for that and has run respectably here over hurdles in the past; considered.

Made it two from two over fences when making all and jumping soundly to take 3m Lingfield novice handicap in January (soft); off 9lb lower back then and this is tougher but could easily be open to further progress, especially now granted a thorough stamina test; tongue-tie new addition.

Big step back in right direction when strong-finishing second over 3m5f at Warwick in February but failed to build on that in the Kent National and again pretty laboured at Chepstow last month, for all that 3m is probably on the sharp side these days; long losing spell to snap.

Inverlochy Lad
Unseated early on return from an absence in February before readily winning hunter chase; handicapper taken a chance in leaving his mark untouched after beating three higher-rated rivals in 3m1f novice event at Kelso last time (jumped well), for all that the runner-up doesn't look as good as he was; all wins on good but handles cut and much respected with O'Regan again on top.

Went up 9lb for 3m1f victory on soft ground at Ayr, a commendable effort on stable debut given her absence; shouldn't be handicapped out of it but has struggled a bit the last twice.

Blazing Diva
Often front runs and made virtually all to win by 15l on soft ground over 3m2f at Carlisle just over a year ago and ran well in the same race last time so clearly relishes this sort of test; that was in the first-time cheekpieces as well so not without hope of building on it.

Tipsy Dara
Lightly raced stayer with momentum behind her but 10lb higher here in a far better race than when coming home 7l to the good in 3m1f heavy-ground handicap at Hexham on Monday; ability to handle these conditions may count for a lot, though.
