Abruzzo Mia
Two wins this year, latterly off 1lb lower at Thirsk in July; down the field twice since but this is a drop in class and he can't be dismissed.

Maxi Boy
All or nothing for new yard this year but he capitalised on the drop to Class 5 company with a comfortable success at Newcastle last week (7f); unpenalised for that win and he has to be feared given he's 6lb ahead of the handicapper.

Spun To Gold
7f AW maiden winner for Andrew Balding as a 2yo; expensive to follow in handicaps this year but he has run to a useful level; sold for 36,000 and gelded since last run; starts out for Jim Goldie in a lower class than he's used to but likely best watched after a break.

Surprise Picture
Prominent racer; easy win at Wolverhampton last month (Class 6) and then chased home a thriving rival at the same track four days later; not at the same level last time and opposable returned to turf.

Prairie Falcon
Winless since his 2yo days; went close off 4lb higher at Newcastle in March but he hasn't matched it in five runs since, albeit he wasn't seen to best effect over C&D 19 days ago; one of three runners for Michael Dods and others look stronger for win purposes.

Yaaser
Needs things to fall right but he won over 1m here at the Western meeting (ran for three days in succession) and showed no ill effects from that busy spell when fourth over 1m here last week; he'll need a good pace back at 7f but he's still on a fair mark.

Cancan In The Rain
Best effort this year when second of eight at Southwell 11 days ago (1m), finding only a handicap blot too strong; due a 3lb rise but he's not guaranteed to be in the same form here.

Sparkling Red
Having dropped a long way in the weights she has been revitalised by the step up to 7f, fourth at Haydock last month before a comfortable win at Thirsk 24 days ago; 5lb rise demands more but she's still well treated on 2023 form and she's unexposed at this distance.

Graecia
Ran well enough on her handicap debut at Epsom last month but never featured at Pontefract on Monday; drops back in trip with a good apprentice booked; others look safer.

Ready winner of a C&D handicap last month but she wasn't in the same form back here last week; career best required.

Novak
His two best efforts this year have come on AW; unplaced in Class 6 events over C&D the last twice; needs to raise his game to win.

American Star
2lb lower than for his Chester win in July (7f, good to soft) but his record since has been patchy; others look safer.

John L Sullivan
Lightly raced 3yo; 1m win at Wetherby in June and back at that level when third over C&D last week, a run that can be upgraded as he made a big move from 2f out and then tired late on; will need to have his challenge timed to perfection but hard to believe he's not better than this mark.
