4/1
Raised 5lb for beating Graceland by 1L at York last month (2m good to soft) and third in the Carlisle mud last time (1m6f). Conditions look set to be on the easy side once more and this looks easier.

Improving mare who was involved in a tight finish at Sandown last time off this revised mark. Handles most conditions and hard to dismiss in her current mood.

25/1
Completed a hat-trick in 2016 before a disappointing run prompted a year on the sidelines. Never a factor on his return but a further drop in the weights has him attractively treated if the market suggests he may be ready.

Was well campaigned last summer to complete a hat-trick over 1m3f, 1m6f and finally 2m. Has clashed with his stable companion Injam on both starts this term and looks weighted to have the better prospects here.

Took this off 4lb lower in 2016 before scoring again at Thirsk. Has faced some stiff tasks since but on a more realistic mark now and the rain has arrived at a good time.

C&D winner in similar conditions last year from 4lb higher. Two good runs at Ayr confirm he is close to that level after a poor spell.

11/2
On a hat-trick following a C&D success and a narrow win at Nottingham which have earned a 9lb rise in the weights. That may overestimate his achievements and he may struggle at this higher level.

Forecasts

Braes Of Lochalsh (5/2), Injam (4/1), Waiting For Richie (4/1), Fire Jet (9/2), Silva Eclipse (9/2), Incus (11/2), Western Prince (10/1), Itlaaq (12/1), Alphabetical Order (25/1)

Verdict

Jedd O'Keeffe sets a poser by saddling both Injam and SILVA ECLIPSE. There is probably little between them but today's weights, and this trip, probably favours the latter more. Braes Of Lochalsh should have conditions to suit and he could well make all of a favourable low weight. Mick Easterby's veteran Itlaaq took this 12 months ago but is still 4lb higher in the weights. Fire Jet is feared most given her current rate of improvement and her ability to handle any ground.
