12/1 |
Roaring Ralph
Very well handicapped on C&D form as recent as March but he's finished merely seventh over C&D on his last two outings and hopes are pinned on the first-time visor (replacing blinkers) prompting a revival.

5/2 |
Teardrops
3yo who was a very close third over C&D last month on his second handicap start and has won over C&D on both runs since; didn't have much to spare last time but he's just 3lb higher today and is clearly progressive.

Instant Bond
0-10 but he's run well in defeat in three of his last four races, most recently 1l third of 12 over C&D last week; can be bang there once more.

33/1 |
Back Before Dark
1l second of six at Hamilton (6f, soft) in September when last seen and has a 5lb lower mark to work with on AW; has had just two chances on AW but has failed to beat a rival on either occasion, both times on Tapeta last autumn, so she has something to prove.

Mister Sky Blue
He's not easy to win with but he went close over C&D last month and has run well in fourth over C&D on both starts since, denied a clear run last Tuesday; consistent and there's a good chance he'll be in the mix.

The Gay Blade
Down the field at Musselburgh and over C&D in October on his last two starts; however, he often runs well after a break and this C&D winner is 3lb lower than when a close second over C&D in May; could be a contender.

Wee Nan
Hint of promise when fourth of nine over C&D in August on second qualifying run; however, she finished last on handicap debut over 7f here in September and needs to be an entirely different proposition following a wind op.

10/3 |
Goldmoyne
Disappointing favourite at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago on second stable start; however, prior to that he was a promising third over 7f here, when fading late on, and this two-time Irish winner is well worth a second look now back here in first-time cheekpieces.

- Sharp Call
- Billy Garritty / M & D Easterby

40/1 |
Sharp Call
Her mark has tumbled and she's one to watch in the betting now back on AW in first-time blinkers after a break, but this ten-race maiden is hard to fancy on what she was showing in the summer.

12/1 |
Spartan Fighter
Beaten 21 times since last win last October but this seven-time course winner went very close over C&D last month and has since posted a 3l third of 11 here (7f; hung badly left); could be thereabouts.

- Fircombe Hall
- Aiden Brookes / P A Kirby

22/1 |
Fircombe Hall
Six-time C&D winner who ran some good races in defeat here early this year, and he was making headway when baulked over C&D 11 days ago on his second start back from a break; not discounted.

- Chris's Mate
- Rowan Scott / W G Harrison

Chris's Mate
Lightly raced 4yo who returned from a long absence last month and has posted two reasonable performances, including over C&D; however, he needs something extra if he's to get off the mark today.
|

- Rory
- Lauren Young / J S Goldie
|

|
10/1 |
Rory
7yo who is on a long losing sequence; however, he twice ran well in fourth over C&D this autumn and faded when back up to 7f here last time; not ruled out each-way now back down to 6f.

- Sadiiki
- Harry Russell / F Watson

|
125/1 |
Sadiiki
4yo who has raced only eight times; merely seventh over C&D in her first two handicaps, the latest last week, and improvement is necessary.
