9/1
Comfortably held in third on his AW debut at Newcastle earlier this month, but feasibly treated from this mark nevertheless. Yet to win over this trip, and not troubled the judge since 2014, so others (most notably Newcastle conqueror Whitecliff Park) hold stronger claims.

Notched a pair of successes in 2016 from similar marks (at Wolverhampton and Wetherby), but his form tailed off later that year. Absent since September 2016, but did win first time back last year, so worth a check in the market.

Flat turf maiden, but a four time AW winner, and a winner over hurdles at Stratford in June 2016, so at least does know how to win. Returned from a spell over timber with a neck second to Sir Pass I Am (heavily eased) at Chepstow (2m good to soft) last month, and this drop in trip could suit.

Ran a couple of promising races on the AW at Wolverhampton around the turn of the year, but hasn't really built on that since. Yet to win in 15 turf starts but appealingly weighted on his best form at this track, but others look more consistent.

10/1
A 20 race maiden, who finished runner up twice on the AW at Lingfield earlier this year, but hasn't looked quite so sharp more latterly. Rated just 52, and blinkers are tried for the first time as he seeks to break his duck.

8/1
Stablemate of Whitecliff Park, and whilst a ten race maiden, he's yet to race on the turf under Flat rules. Seemingly not suited to hurdling, he has minor placed form on the AW at Newcastle (1m4f), and whilst clearly modest, isn't a horse to totally write off just yet.

A Market Rasen hurdles winner in April, he certainly appears much stronger over timber than on the level. He didn't show a great deal for Kevin Ryan, and was a well held fifth of eight on his Flat debut for this yard at Chepstow last month (2m good to firm). Needs to do more despite his lowly mark of just 48.

Now 0 from 12 in her career but kept on well enough to finish fourth to Graceful Lady over this trip (debut) at Yarmouth last month (22/1). Dropped 1lb, but this race will tell us more about her over staying distances longer term.

Showed precious little throughout 2016, but much better on her seasonal reappearance when 4½L third of 12 to Gambol at Bath in late May (1m5f firm). This extra furlong might stretch her stamina, but at least she's shown some signs of a glimmer of ability. Rated 47.

Beaten a fair distance when third of six in a Leicester seller (1m4f soft) latest having previously appeared devoid of ability. Easily ignored.

A four time career winner including over hurdles despite a basement Flat mark of just 45. Ran well enough (comfortably held) when chasing home Lady Clitico at Catterick last month (2m good to firm), but this race would appear a stronger contest.

Notable jockey booking, but this rider will need to conjur up a revival from this old boy. Fairly lightly raced over the past three years (just four starts), and precious little positive to take from those outings. Plummeting down the weights.

Forecasts

Stynes (3/1), My Mo (9/2), Miss Tree (9/2), Whitecliff Park (5/1), Wassail (11/2), Sigurd (6/1), Angel In The Snow (8/1), Stanarley Pic (9/1), Le Tissier (10/1), Topalova (10/1), Crakehall Lad (11/1), Desktop (11/1), Little Orchid (11/1), Lineman (12/1), Mr Standfast (25/1), Pantomime (25/1), Honourable Knight (40/1)

Verdict

Not as competitive in terms of likely winners as the numbers suggest. Miss Tree has shown that racing over a trip of 1m6f suits her well, and she's a player upped just 4lb for her latest Redcar success, whilst the defection of Brighton winner Stynes means that a possible live danger is eliminated . Lineman and Sigurd are capable of playing for places if bringing their 'A' games to the table, but WHITECLIFF PARK looks the standout form pick. He bolted up on the AW at Newcastle when upped to 2m for the first time earlier this month, is well treated on turf, and turned out under a penalty looks the horse to beat with the benefit of this long straight helping to off-set a slight drop in trip.
