AW specialist who finished last of 10 on his return to turf at Thirsk last month. Has done all his winning over 6f so this drop in trip may not be in his favour, but is likely to give it his best shot from the front.
C&D winner last August under similar conditions and is only 1lb higher. Failed to land a blow over a furlong further at Ripon last time, but looks primed to go well with positive jockey booking.
Prominent racer who has been running with credit on the AW since the turn of the year. Does not have a great strike rate and both wins have come over 6f, so he looks vulnerable over this trip.
Has been running respectably off this mark on turf without hitting the frame and did manage to win at Newcastle's AW track in March. Trip and going should not be an issue, but the suspicion remains that he needs to drop a few pounds.
Ran a decent race when fifth of 11 at Pontefract last time and has dropped a couple of pounds, which should make him more competitive. Hard to win with, however, and others make more appeal.
Lightly-raced maiden who has been tried from 5f to 7f. Best run over this trip at Goodwood in August and would have claims on that display off the same mark. May have improvement in him and of interest off bottom weight.

Forecasts
Spirit Of Wedza (2/1), Flicka's Boy (4/1), Salvatore Fury (9/2), Ambitious Icarus (11/2), Insurplus (6/1), Bunce (6/1), Top of The Bank (10/1)
Top Of The Bank and Spirit Of Wedza are likely to have a battle for the lead and that could set it up for a come-from-behind performer. Insurplus is only lightly raced and has the scope to improve, but the percentage call is SALVATORE FURY who has C&D form and is fairly handicapped.
