64
|
33/1 |
Amathus
Often came to hand early in the past but is getting on now and has never won first time out; carries a big weight, ideally suited by an easy 7f and today's stiff 1m doesn't appeal as optimal.

13/2 |
Pessoa
Frequent Wolverhampton winner who's 0-12 on turf, including in his Irish days (has 4lb lower mark than on the AW); very consistent, though, and should get the good pace he wants, so every chance he gets involved again.

Oasis Sunrise
Didn't take to hurdles late last year having enjoyed a consistent time on the Flat; sole win came over C&D off today's mark and Rossa Ryan, who rode a winner for the yard at Doncaster last weekend, is an obvious plus.

Bobby Dassler
Makes debut for a sixth yard, having closed out last season with a heavy-ground C&D win in a first-time tongue-tie for Alison Thorpe; there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh, and a 7lb rise looks plenty.

- Port Noir
- Rose Dawes / R Stephens

6/1 |
Port Noir
It's almost three years since she won on turf but she's struck up a good relationship with Rose Dawes on the AW this year, winning three of her last four; hard to discount in current form.

9/2 |
Judge Frank
Regressed last year and goes without the usual headgear on his return from four months off; twice ran well off higher marks over C&D last summer, though, and ran well on his 2yo debut, so a better showing wouldn't surprise as long as there's not much rain.

- Jack Doughty / J Gallagher

28/1 |
Red Admiral
Couple of costly defeats for George Boughey early last year, not looking the easiest; more of the same in three runs for his current yard and there are obvious risks back up in trip in a first-time hood after eight months off; likely has the ability though.

James Park Woods
All four wins have come on good to soft/soft ground in September, including over C&D last autumn off 6lb lower; record returning from a break down the years is far from inspiring.

- Bungle Bay
- Charles Bishop / H J Evans

33/1 |
Bungle Bay
Wolverhampton specialist who doesn't run often on turf these days and rarely goes this far; not in much form on the AW this year and isn't obviously fancied.

- Billy Loughnane / A W Carroll

10/3 |
Scenario
Inconsistent filly who lost a shoe when behind Port Noir at Kempton last time; goes without cheekpieces again under Billy Loughnane, who's 3-17 for the yard after a few recent winners for them.

- Man Is King

Man Is King
Sole win during a long career came in a 0-50 classified event on the AW in February; string of generally poor turf efforts when trained in Ireland dampens enthusiasm as he comes back down in distance.

- Sharma D'amour
- George Bass / D J Coakley

|
5/1 |
Sharma D'amour
Won second time out last spring and a reproduction wouldn't surprise, as she was not suited by the way the race panned out on AW comeback; on a competitive mark now for a yard enjoying a good spell and she is one to consider.

Mishy's Star
Exposed as ordinary on the AW, placed just once from ten starts; needs to improve a good deal for the switch to turf.

Rainbow Sign
Running fairly well on the AW when last seen but in only 0-50 company and he is a highly infrequent winner; no more than each-way claims.
