7/1 |
Morcar
Four-time winner who is 3lb beneath his last winning mark; however, he hasn't offered all that much in three runs following a break and wind surgery.

Kimeko Glory
Won three times at 1m2f (good/good to firm) last year; 0-6 since moving yards and below her best in last four races, the last two in blinkers that are now removed; on a useful mark but a revival is needed.

Harlington
A winner on turf but has a superior strike-rate on the AW including a hat-trick earlier this year; only four ran when third at Yarmouth last time and that was under a 5lb claimer; could be vulnerable.

Ablon
Lightly raced filly; runner-up at Kempton (1m) in February before making all in a 7f novice back there two weeks later; bred to stay this longer trip well and her best days could still be ahead of her.

Perfect Scoundrel
Hasn't had a lot of racing and probably his best effort yet in handicaps when a 4l third at Goodwood a month ago (1m1f, good to soft); he still doesn't look on that generous a mark.

Brighlee
Second to a subsequent Listed winner in August (1m, good to firm) but disappointed in October after a break and hasn't got going this season, including when hooded for handicap debut at Sandown a month ago; downgraded here but with a bit to prove now.

Home Hero
0-5; both his handicaps have been at Chester (1m2f; good then good to soft); the third was encouraging and then reportedly unsuited by ground that connections described as tacky; cheekpieces go on this time and hard to discount.

Rossa Raheen
Had two races for David Menuisier and three for current trainer; nearly won over C&D in May despite not getting the best of runs and soft ground was reportedly unsuitable next time; should run well.

Fanciulla Del West
Well-bred filly who has improved with each run, last time finishing nicely clear of the rest when beaten a length on handicap debut (1m2f, good; 9-2); raised 3lb but that's not the end of the world.

James Choice
65,000gns breeze-up buy who shaped with promise last season in 7f/1m races won by smart horses; absent since October but potentially interesting on this handicap debut now raised in distance; the market could be enlightening.

Madjid
Bang there on his handicap debut at Doncaster in April (1m2f, good to firm) but two lesser runs have followed under similar conditions; capable but couldn't be confident about him.
