Dubai Venture
Not at his best in a 0-70 at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago, but likely to do better especially if the ground continues to dry out, with his two wins last year (including one over C&D) coming on good to firm; big player down in grade.

Lednikov
Often a front runner who has gained six of his seven wins on the AW at Southwell; Elle-May Croot knows him especially well, but a record of 1-20 on turf suggests others are more likely.

Jedhi Knight
Was having his second start for the yard and first since wind surgery when fifth of 11 at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) five weeks ago; 2lb lower than when winning at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last August and worth a second look, especially if backed.

Clipsham Noble
Made it 2-28 when successful at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) in May and although a fair fourth of eight back there 12 days ago (Coverbridge third), it does suggest he needs a bit more off this mark.

Cloudy Rose
Ran with credit when fourth of nine at Yarmouth (1m6f, soft) last month and does handle testing ground, but looks better on a faster surface; 5lb lower than for the latest of two wins around this time last year and one for the shortlist.

Yakhabar
Easily landed an amateur riders' event at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March and wasn't beaten far into fourth of 12 in a similar contest at Ripon (1m4f, good) last time, but he still needs more in order to come out best here.

9/1 |
Regal Glory
Made it 2-40 when winning by a neck at Beverley (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; wouldn't normally be an obvious one to follow up, but she is only 2lb higher and the runner-up has won since; shortlisted.

- Cam Hardie / A Brittain

Princess Vivi
0-11, but has shown some ability and didn't seem to lack for stamina when a close fourth of six at Beverley (1m4f, good) a fortnight ago; could make the frame again.

- Jason Hart / J Bedi

Apache Eagle
Has made the frame several times this year including when third of seven over C&D (good to soft) in May, but a record of 0-22 is hard to ignore.

- Coverbridge
- Ben Ffrench-Davis / P Winks

Coverbridge
0-15 since winning a Newcastle maiden (7f, AW) as a 2yo, but was beaten less than a length into third of eight at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; could play a part if building on that.

Muhib
Often makes the frame and would have found 1m6f too far at Nottingham 12 days ago, but he is now 0-25; others preferred.
