|
5/1 |
Express Train
Raced only four times but chance depends on whether he can confirm the standout performance, namely Leicester novice win (6f) on penultimate start; gelded since latest.

- Rob Hornby / J A Osborne

8/1 |
Wodao
Useful on his day but form has declined this term and latest defeat, in seller, took record for current yard to 0-13; not screaming to be backed.
|

- Hierarchy
- Saffie Osborne / J A Osborne

11/2 |
Hierarchy
Scored at Southwell in July and September; back in similar form when solid second, behind a subsequent winner, over C&D most recently; major contender off unaltered mark.

- Distant Rumble
- Jack Doughty / R A Teal

|
12/1 |
Distant Rumble
Won at Kempton early this year; ties in with Hierarchy on C&D form (back from a break) three weeks ago but isn't guaranteed to build on that effort, as he seems best when fresh.

- Expert Agent
- Rossa Ryan / S C Williams

9/2 |
Expert Agent
Not entirely disgraced in Newmarket events the last twice; hasn't won on AW since April 2023 but returns to this sphere looking attractively treated; not ruled out.

- City Cyclone
- William Carson / A W Carroll

|
10/1 |
City Cyclone
Form dipped sharply last time and he's not the percentage call back over 6f; ideally suited by 7f and yet to win away from Wolverhampton.

- Hunky Dory
- Alistair Rawlinson / M Appleby

|
11/4 |
Hunky Dory
Ten-race maiden who has proved generally consistent; ran well, beaten just under 1l, at Newcastle (6f) last week on second start for new stable; fighting chance off the same mark.

- Comedian Leader
- L Morris / J & S Best

|
7/1 |
Comedian Leader
Completed a turf double at Lingfield in August when last seen; effective on AW but appears to be on difficult mark, being 19lb higher than last handicap attempt in this sphere.

- Prodigal Son
- J Mitchell / H Main

|
9/1 |
Prodigal Son
Six-race maiden; ran well from the front in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (7f) most recently, while leaving the impression this return to 6f is well worth exploring; possibilities.
