7/2 |
Royal Musketeer
Goes well fresh so wouldn't be sure to improve on his C&D return three weeks ago, a race where he comfortably saw off his nine rivals; that said, he retains handicapping scope and looks a solid contender.

- William Carson / A W Carroll

4/1 |
City Cyclone
Three course wins, all over 7f, and he has looked an improved performer this year; up in class and down in trip but thriving and he isn't short of pace; strong contender.

- T Eaves / A D Brown

Angel Of England
Prominent racer; two good runs at Newcastle in November but his form dipped twice last month; could help set this up for a closer.

Bill Plumb
Progressive in 2023, winning three times (including two over C&D), and now 3lb lower than for last success; looked rusty back from a 496-day absence at Chelmsford 11 days ago but 5f wasn't optimal and he did enough to suggest he retains a good portion of his ability; still low mileage and he's not discounted.

Jackson Street
Looked good when winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle last month but he's underperformed twice since; sold for 9,000gns this month; others appeal more.

12/1 |
Land Lover
Just one win from his 24 starts but he made a fair debut for his new stable when third of eight over C&D a fortnight ago; blew the start that day and can pose a greater threat with a clean start.

- Callum Shepherd / M Herrington

12/1 |
Papa Cocktail
Had a 488-day layoff prior to his stable debut in October; taking a while to find his feet and although his penultimate Southwell fourth was more encouraging, he couldn't back it up three weeks ago; edging down the weights but not solid at present.

- Jimmy Knocker
- Dylan Hogan / Andi Brown

5/1 |
Jimmy Knocker
Unexposed 4yo; pleasing stable debut when fourth at Southwell and he took a good step forward with a snug win at Newcastle 25 days ago (6f); the subsequent wins of the second and third, as well as big efforts in defeat from the fourth and fifth, give that form serious ballast; a 4lb rise looks manageable and there should be more to come; slow starts could be an issue going forward but he's still a strong contender.

Evocative Spark
C&D win off 2lb higher in November; yet to shine for new yard though and he's drawn widest here.

Em Jay Kay
C&D win in November and he's performed with credit in three runs since, latterly when a close third here last week; should remain competitive.

Knocking on the door on AW this winter and Rossa Ryan back in the saddle this evening; stable also responsible for City Cyclone.

|
25/1 |
Bibendum
12-race maiden; effective over C&D but his last two efforts have been sub par and the addition of blinkers isn't enough to tempt.
